Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale villain Meena Jutla has to explain herself next month when her sister Manpreet Sharma discovers that she has been up to no good.
As Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) catches up with Ethan Anderson (Emile John), she's shocked by what he tells her about Meena.
Ethan explains that Meena (Paige Sandhu) urged him not to contact his mum Esme, who recently paid a brief visit to the village.
Manpreet is unsettled by this, sensing that Meena seems to be playing games with Ethan's happiness.

Later, Manpreet questions Meena on why she decided to meddle.
Meena defends herself by insisting that it was the best way to keep protecting both of them over the fake texts she sent to Ethan, pretending to be his mum.
Manpreet is still unsatisfied and tells Meena that they can't deny Ethan a relationship with his mum for their own selfish reasons.
Meena isn't interested and abruptly ends the conversation.

Changing tactics, Manpreet offers her own advice to Ethan and urges him to try again with Esme.
Ethan's father Charles (Kevin Mathurin) is grateful to Manpreet for her help and they end up sitting down to reminisce over happier times.
Manpreet gets caught up in the moment and leans in for a kiss with Charles, who pulls away.
Charles points out that it's not a good time for them to reunite and Manpreet knows that he's right.

However, Charles also admits to Manpreet that he has never stopped loving her, providing hope for their long-term future.
Charles adds that, if they ever did get back together, there would have to be no more secrets between them.
Will this prompt Manpreet to tell Charles the truth about the fake texts?
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday, December 6 and Tuesday, December 7 at 7pm on ITV.
