Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) was heartbroken in Emmerdale tonight after discovering that Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) was responsible for reporting her to Social Services.
Throughout the episode, several people, including Harriet and Billy (Jay Kontzle), tried to convince Dawn that calling social services would be the best option.
However, Dawn insisted that Clemmie (Mabel Addison) needed structure and that it was best for him to stay with them.
Things went awry when Clemmie heard Dawn telling Harriet about her mother’s death and then ran out of the house.
Fortunately, Billy was there to cheer Clemmie on and help get her home.
With Billy by her side, Dawn was shocked when social services arrived and wanted to talk to Clemmie.
The couple was then informed that they had been reported, but it didn’t take long before they found out who was behind this report.
Initially, Dawn suspected Jade (Abigail Uttley), Clemmie’s guardian after the death of her mother, Beth. After finding Clemmie asleep in a dog bed on the kitchen floor, Dawn offered Jade 40 pounds to take the child.
However, at the end of the episode, Dawn discovered that it was in fact Harriet who had alerted social services. Dawn felt betrayed and scolded Harriet, claiming she had stabbed her in the back.
Will Dawn ever be able to forgive Harriet? And will she ever see Clemmie again?
Emmerdale continues on Monday 18th July at 7:30pm on ITV.
