There was a triple reveal on Emmerdale on Monday night, as Joe Tate was finally exposed.
Viewers learned what was wrong with Joe after months of suspicious behaviour. It was clear he was extremely unwell and on Monday we learned his shocking diagnosis.
Not only that but we learned what was in the mystery black case delivered to him by Dr Crowley, as well as what he and Crowley had secretly plotted for weeks and who their targets were.
It all came out in dramatic fashion after weeks of Joe dropping hints that he was dying and needed specific treatment to survive. It was clear he and Crowley were planning something and they'd targeted Joe's brother Noah Dingle as a result - something that was also confirmed on Monday for the first time.
The diagnosis Crowley announced was chronic kidney disease, with Crowley's real reasons for being there revealed. Viewers learned he'd been paid a lot of money to keep Joe alive, and to go to any means necessary for this to happen.

In the black case was a dialysis machine for Joe to treat himself at home as he continued to hide his illness from everyone amid his secret plan. It seemed as though Noah was not a match as an organ donor, with Joe soon claiming he had someone else in mind.
Admitting his part in drugging Noah which led to the limo crash that killed three villagers, Joe said he was "keeping it in the family" with another blood relative as his next target. He did not name them, but fans think they've worked out who it is.
Joe made it clear he wasn't going to get their permission, not wanting the person to see him coming. With that we know his and Crowley's plan and why they were doing it.
Now fans are convinced his uncle Caleb Miligan will be the next target, with Caleb set to be rushed to hospital in upcoming scenes. Fans believe this will be what leads to Caleb flatlining in hospital, and that Joe will target him for his kidney or kidneys.

One viewer posted on social media: "Caleb. Possibly why he flatlines." Another fan agreed: "Only Caleb about, Jean Jamie aren’t about in the village," as a third said: "Could be Caleb as we see him in a hospital bed."
A fourth theory read: "Maybe he does something to Caleb then for his kidneys." A further comment suggested: "Definitely Caleb who is the potential donor but very odd. So will Joe try to make friends with Caleb to lure him into a trap?"
