Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has revealed the first details of next week's episodes, which explore the fallout from Meena Jutla's latest evil acts.

Show bosses have previously announced that the Meena story will come to a head this week, as the sinister killer tries to murder Manpreet Sharma and Vinny Dingle.

Dramatic scenes airing in Wednesday and Thursday's episodes see Meena drive the Dingles' van into the barn where she's keeping Manpreet and Vinny captive.

With exhaust fumes filling the barn, Manpreet and Vinny are horrified to realise that there may not be long left.

While we can't reveal the outcome of this storyline, first-look spoiler images from next week's episodes offer some vague hints of what's to come in the aftermath.

Leyla Cavanagh (Roxy Shahidi) and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) are seen surveying damage at Liam's allotment.

The reason for the destruction isn't clear at this stage, but we know that Liam worked on the allotment as a tribute to his late daughter Leanna, who was murdered by Meena last summer.

As Leyla and Jacob talk, they fail to spot Meena's trinket box sticking up from the earth.

Meena buried the box to cover her tracks last week, parting ways with the various tokens she had collected from her victims.

Later, Sam Dingle (James Hooton) works on the allotment and unwittingly shovels dirt across the trinket box.

Will it ever be found? And what happened to Meena, Manpreet and Vinny?

Paige Sandhu, who plays Meena, recently hinted that her character's story could be coming to an end.

Asked what she'd miss about playing Meena if she did leave, Paige replied: "I will miss everything because I love her. I think she's hilarious, she's got so much charisma, she's so strange, she is just odd and everything about her. The things she says and the way that she says them but I love that.

"She's so weird and it's so much fun to play such a weird character. Going to those dark places is really fulfilling but then there's that slightly comedic edge which is always fun. I love her flamboyancy. I think everything about her I'll miss."

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday, January 17 at 7pm on ITV.
