Emmerdale’s April Windsor took shocking revenge on her father, Marlon, after discovering his betrayal of her friend Dylan. Last week, Marlon falsely accused Dylan of stealing ketamine from the vet’s surgery, forcing Dylan to take the blame. In an attempt to keep Dylan away from April, Marlon arranged for him to attend rehab, covering the costs himself. However, Marlon’s guilt eventually overwhelmed him, and he confessed the truth to April, who reacted with fury.
In tonight’s dramatic episode, April decided to make her father pay for his deception. The episode opened with her sneaking into the vet clinic, searching through the cupboards until she found a bottle of ketamine. As Vanessa entered the room, April quickly took the vial and managed to escape unnoticed. Back at home, Marlon tried once more to apologize for framing Dylan, but April was unmoved. She accused him of always manipulating her and lying to maintain control. “You talk about trust all the time, but whatever we had is gone,” she spat at him.
Still reeling from their confrontation, Marlon later found April unconscious on the floor at home, the empty ketamine vial lying beside her. Panicked, he cried for help, desperately trying to revive her as Mary and Vanessa rushed in to assist. But in a shocking twist, April suddenly opened her eyes and smirked, declaring, “And that’s what karma looks like.” She coldly explained that the horror he just experienced was exactly what could have happened to Dylan because of Marlon’s lies. Refusing to apologize for scaring her father, she walked away, leaving Marlon, Vanessa, and Rona completely stunned.
“This has gone way beyond being a problem—this is out of control,” Rona admitted, concerned about April’s actions.
Marlon later found April at the café, where another heated argument erupted, ending with April storming off again. Fearing she had disappeared, Marlon returned home, worried about her whereabouts, only for April to reappear in the kitchen. It was then that Rona urged them both to put aside their differences and try to rebuild their relationship for the sake of their future. Reluctantly, both father and daughter agreed.
However, in a final twist, viewers saw Marlon secretly plant a tracking device in April’s coat, hinting that he wasn’t done keeping tabs on her just yet.
