An emotional day in Emmerdale<\/a> celebrating the late Jimmy King has seen two of his wives, Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) and Sadie (Patsy Kensit), come head to head.<\/p>\n

Ever since Sadie returned to the village in September, she’s made it her mission<\/a> to get her hands on her ex-hubby’s cash from the sale of haulage business Home James. She told Nicola that, over the last three years, they’d been in a relationship.<\/p>\n

Nicola was heartbroken to think that Jimmy had been unfaithful, unaware that it was all a vicious lie.<\/p>\n

The truth is that Jimmy had been in touch with Sadie and was helping her financially, though wanted to agree a repayment plan and then cut contact. There were a series of voice notes that would reveal this, but Nicola had found it too painful to listen to them – until today.<\/p>\n

The latest instalment kicked off with Sadie approaching partner in crime Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) in the village, demanding to know why he’d been at Hotten Golf Club<\/a> collecting some of Jimmy’s belongings. She knew that he had the money, though he insisted that there was nothing to be found.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the funeral, Nicola decided that it was the right time to finally listen to the messages alongside best friend Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).<\/p>\n

The pair were stunned to hear of Jimmy’s devotion to Nicola and their family, and that Sadie had clearly lied<\/a> through her teeth about their relationship.<\/p>\n

Rather than making a scene during the service, Nicola made her nemesis move from the front row to further back in the church, and then delivered a moving eulogy about her beloved.<\/p>\n

When everyone gathered outside, vicar Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) revealed that there’d been a problem with the hearse – though Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) had came up with an alternative. He drove one of the Home James haulage vans into the village, and transported Jimmy’s coffin to the cemetery.<\/p>\n

The villagers then sang a rendition of ‘King of the Road’, with Sadie walking over to pay her respects.<\/p>\n

Nicola couldn’t keep quiet any longer and launched a verbal and physical attack, hurling a bouquet of flowers at her. Sadie fell onto the pile of soil, and thoroughly shamed, she wandered away.<\/p>\n

Robert chased after her and warned that, if she was to try and accuse him of taking Jimmy’s money, nobody would believe her.<\/p>\n

What will Sadie’s next move be?<\/p>\n
