The residents of Emmerdale are known to keep secrets, and next week after human bones of a baby are uncovered at the school, it transpires that they could be linked to one of the villagers. Elsewhere, Zak struggles with what to do with Lisa's ashes, while Doug does his best to makes things up with Brendan after missing a date, but he ends up in A&E after hurting his back. Things aren't looking good for Victoria either, after Lee's mum Wendy turns up at the Woolpack, determined to know why she has been 'lying' about her son attacking her. Diane later lands her foot in it, making things ten times worse for Victoria.
