Emmerdale's Bear Wolf manipulated by another cruel villain

Poor Bear Wolf has found himself manipulated by another villain in tonight's Emmerdale episode following his awful ordeal at the hands of Celia Daniels and Ray Walters.

In the latest instalment, Bear came into the office at the depot just as Caleb Miligan was leaving. He made a comment about how Caleb is always rushing off and how he's "not sure how Ruby puts up with him".

That piqued Sadie's interest, given her role in Joe Tate's vendetta against them, and she got him to talk more about them.

"She's been good to me," he said. "Kind, when I needed a bit of help. I'm fond of her too, and it's good to see the business going well, thought it's funny how it happened, though."

"Funny how?" Sadie enquired.

"Well, Mandy reckons it were all a complete accident. She ordered a load of wine by mistake. 100 boxes instead of 10," he said. "Next thing, she's selling the stuff. Caleb weren't happy by the sound of things but she can do some daft stuff when she's had a few."

The scene ended with the camera slowly zooming in on Sadie, implying that there was a plan forming inside her head...

Later on, Ruby arrived as Bear left and Sadie waxed on about how "sweet" and "docile" he is, and how impressed she was at how the wine business is doing.

Ruby then told Sadie that one client has actually doubled their order thanks to Sadie, who then suggested they knock off early and go grab a drink to celebrate.

While Ruby went to freshen up, Sadie secretly grabbed her phone and turned the volume all the way down.

Later on, an annoyed Caleb walked into The Woolpack to find Ruby and Sadie, already a few drinks in and ready to do shots.

He wondered why she hadn't been returning his calls about the dinner plans he had made, but she said there hadn't been any. He checked her phone and told her that it was on silent, something she had no idea about.

He was clearly furious, but Ruby was too sozzled to notice or care. Will Caleb see the whole thing as water under the bridge, or has Sadie landed on something she can exploit further?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
