The Emmerdale episode of August 2, 2024, mainly focused on the characters of Kim Tate and Will Taylor. The couple begins to suspect each other after Rose Jackson mysteriously vanishes. This occurs after Kim exposes Rose and Fox-Miligan for plotting against her behind her back for months. Rose succeeds in seducing Will, but things take a strange turn after her handbag is found at Kim and Will’s home with no trace of her.
Next week’s episode of Emmerdale will focus on Kim and Will being suspicious of each other’s actions, as both appear guilty about Rose’s disappearance. Before the news of her disappearance spread, Will had last driven her to an abandoned area and left her there. A mysterious character suddenly appears after the couple departs, but the viewers do not get to see either the character, the car, or Rose.
From there the question lingers: where is Rose?

As the couple remains suspicious of each other regarding Rose’s mysterious disappearance, an eerie situation unfolds, with both occasionally lashing out at each another. Kim has already discovered the truth about Rose and Fox-Miligan’s plot, while Will has given in to his temptation for Rose. However, he later admits to Rose that it was a mistake before she goes missing.
Both Kim and Will have a series of unanswered questions and are forced to hide their guilt from Rose’s daughter. This becomes especially challenging when Dawn Fletcher (Rose’s daughter) suggests hiring a professional detective to investigate the case. The couple scrambles to come up with a plan to avoid having a professional look into the disappearance.
As all these events unfold, Kim struggles to keep her emotions to herself, telling Caleb Milligan everything about what his wife Ruby is up to. Kim also suggests to Will that he text Dawn from her phone pretending to be Rose to make Dawn believe that her mother has left town and is not coming back.
