Emmerdale S27E38 — Episode 2342 (Wed 1st April 1998)
Overview
Becky's bombshell is too much for Tony and he makes plans to leave for Germany. But before he goes he decides to have a word with Zoe. An intense argument erupts between them which threatens to turn to violence. Paddy tries to calm down the situation but regrets getting involved when Tony punches him. Tony demands to know where Becky is but Zoe blocks his way. Tony grabs her by the collar and pins her against the wall, but Becky arrives just in time and throws a vase at Tony before slapping him. Will walks through the street and spots his parents running out of the surgery. He runs over and tackles his dad to stop him from hitting Becky. Will later confronts Becky and reveals that he protected his dad from a guilty conscience and tells his mother that she deserved a slap. He reminds what her favourite film Brief Encounter is about and she cries.
