The aftermath of Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) dumping Chloe (Jessie Elland) to go back to Charity (Emma Atkins) started to play out in Tuesday (November 21)’s episode of Emmerdale – and it was a difficult time all round.

Charity and Mack’s first morning back together started badly when they were faced by an angry Noah (Jack Downham) and Sarah (Katie Hill).

‘He lives next door!’ Noah pointed out. Sarah was also angry on behalf of her friend Chloe. At least Moses (Arthur Cockroft) was pleased to see Mackenzie and gave him a big hug. Sarah and Noah told Charity they had absolutely no plans to hug Mack themselves.

After words from Charity Noah grudgingly agreed to accept the new situation but had a warning for Mackenzie: ‘She’s worth 10 of you,’ he said. ‘Don’t screw it up.’

Meanwhile Moira (Natalie J. Robb) had popped in to see Chloe and was devastated when she heard the news that her brother had broken Chloe’s heart by going back to Charity. ‘You will always be family to me,’ she promised her.

Showing Moira out later, Chloe was horrified to see Mack and Charity in the street kissing and she rushed at Charity and gave her a hefty slap. She was raging and had to be held back by Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson) otherwise she’d have done more.

Later, Charity decided to try to make peace with Chloe and went to see her. ‘Mack is my husband,’ she pointed out, and the pair of them rehashed the whole story of how Mack had slept with Chloe after he and Charity had argued, and then Chloe had moved into Charity’s home while she was pregnant and kept the secret of who the baby’s father was.

Charity urged Chloe that they all had to put the past behind them and move on, most importantly for the sake of Reuben. She mentioned that it would be nice for Chloe to have some weekends to herself while Reuben was with his dad. Moira had earlier also assumed that Chloe would happily agree to a co-parenting arrangement with Mack.

And this gave Chloe the idea of how she could inflict the most pain on him. She told her sister Amy that she and Reuben were leaving to start a new life away from the Dales. Selling her engagement ring would get them started financially and then they’d manage somehow.

Amy was sceptical about the whole plan, but Chloe wasn’t thinking about the practicalities or what it would really mean for her and her baby. She just wanted to hurt Mackenzie and Charity as much as possible.

‘They’re both going to be miserable when Mackenzie is constantly pining after Reuben,’ she vowed.

‘The son he’s never going to see again.’
