Emmerdale's Kim takes revenge as she discovers Frank Tate's secret son after Caleb twist

Emmerdale 's Kim Tate was ready to take action over Frank Tate's mystery son during the latest episode of the ITV soap, unaware he was right under her nose.

Viewers learned on Thursday night that Caleb Miligan and son Nicky were working together to get Home Farm and take down Kim.

It was then confirmed that Caleb was the secret son of Frank, who died on the soap back in 1997 - and he wants what he's owed.

In the latest episode Kim finally found out about Frank's secret child, and that they wanted their inheritance.

She received a letter about Frank's will, 26 years on from his death. Frank died from a heart attack, and was left for dead by evil Kim.

Kim was told through the letter that an "illegitimate son" had made contact and wanted their share.

Emmerdale's Caleb Miligan could not have made it any more obvious he was the son of Frank Tate during Friday's episode (ITV)

It's then that Kim was forced to explain to partner Will Taylor how she stole money from Frank, while she also noted the solicitor firm helping the mystery son was "expensive".

As she explained she didn't want anyone sniffing around in case the money she stole comes to light, she added there was a clause in the will.

Nicky then confronted Caleb about sending the letter, and he said it was to mess with Kim's head.

He wanted to pile on the pressure so she made mistakes, allowing him to carry out his plan.

Caleb then asked Nicky what he heard, with him revealing about the "clause in the will" for future heirs.

But Caleb refused to accept this, saying they were "going for the jackpot" and were going to take revenge on Kim for what she did.

He added his plan was to gain Kim's trust and abuse it, to get his hands on Home Farm and everything that belonged to his dad.

Meanwhile, Kim was trying to figure out who the son was and who the mystery mother might be.

She suspected the son could be was in their 20s or 30s, and was desperate to track them down to stop them claiming anything.

As the episode came to an end, she revealed a plan of her own to keep what she had - telling Will there was no room for negotiation.

She said: "I'm gonna hide so much money so quickly, that by the time they get past that lawyer there will be nothing left... nothing."

So it seems it's game on for Kim and Caleb, while she doesn't currently realise it.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
