A chilling episode of Emmerdale starts with a scary flashforward in time to the scene of a lake where all is quiet… until an unknown hand is seen pounding on the ice from underneath the water!

Whose hand is it? And what's happened?

Back in real time, excitement is high for the big nights out in the limos.

As the village's girls gather, all dressed up and pile into their long white motor, the men, in suits, get into theirs.

Seething Caleb is relieved that he's not going to have to sit next to Cain, who has no idea that brother knows that he slept with Ruby.

Liam's got issues, too.

He's hired a limo so he can propose to Chas but he can't get her alone as she's merrily joined in Kerry's night out in her limo.

Cue Mandy who comes to the GP's assistance…
