It's the morning after the terrible storm and a lot of sore limbs and sore heads are patching the [[Emmerdale (village)|village]] back together, clearing rubble from the collapse of [[the Woolpack]].
In the morning after the storm, a cleanup operation is underway, with building work going on at [[The Woolpack|the Woolpack]]. [[Shadrach Dingle|Shadrach]] goes to steal some alcohol, but [[Jarvis Skelton|Jarvis]] tries to stop him and when Jarvis suggests that Edna can sleep at his, as her house, while structurally sound, has been affected by the storm, she accuses him of being a shirker, which offends him.

Zoe offers to reinstate Scott, but he tells her he'll accept if they start discussing about giving Scott access to Jean. Marlon, [[Steph Forsythe|Steph]] and [[Alan Turner|Alan]] watch over Tricia until suddenly, she flatlines. While Marlon is hysterical with worry (not helped by the fact that the nurses won't give any updates or reassurance), he is eventually summoned to see the consultant, [[Mr McDerrick]], alone in his office. Mr McDerrick tells Marlon that Tricia suffered a cardiac arrest. Her heart was successfully restarted, but her brain was starved of oxygen, leaving her in a coma. Mr McDerrick eventually tells Marlon the tragic news that, due to no brain activity, Tricia is effectively dead. While Marlon walks through the corridor, trying to take in what has been said to him by Mr McDerrick, Ethan gives out a prayer in the cafe, after which [[Jack Sugden|Jack]] stands up and raises a toast to Tricia. Marlon tearfully tells a shocked [[Paddy Kirk|Paddy]], [[Emily Kirk|Emily]], [[Zak Dingle|Zak]], [[Lisa Dingle|Lisa]], [[Diane Sugden|Diane]], Steph and Alan that Tricia is gone.

The cleanup operation gets underway, but the aftermath worsens at the hospital when Tricia flatlines and is declared brain dead - but Marlon refuses to accept she has gone.

Plot

It's the morning after the terrible storm and a lot of sore limbs and sore heads are patching the village back together, clearing rubble from the collapse of the Woolpack. Donna's bemoaning her birthday - the car is trashed, her head hurts, and just as she can buy a drink in the pub - it falls down. But it's not bad news for everyone - Zoe needs Scott back so badly that she even agrees to talk about access to Jean. Unconscious Ashley's leg has been saved and Laurel has been keeping watch on him, talking to him about how much she thinks of him. Eventually he comes round and immediately thanks an excited Laurel for standing by him like a guardian angel. But while she gets him some water, Louise is brought in to see him. Laurel sneaks away - as she says to Nicola, she knows she's never going to get Ashley, but she can't help loving him. Marlon hasn't left Tricia's side since she came out of theatre. Alan tries to get him to get some rest, but Marlon daren't be without her. He's also partly in denial and Alan later has to break up a territorial argument between him and Steph. Calm is restored when suddenly Tricia's ECG flatlines. Everyone is rushed out while the doctors try to resuscitate her. After half an hour, Marlon is hysterical with worry, but the nurses won't tell him anything because Tricia's still being treated. They can't even reassure him that she's going to be okay. The nurse later comes back to tell them all that Tricia's not regained consciousness, but has gone for a brain scan. The surgeon then tells Marlon that the heart failure had starved her brain of oxygen. Tricia is in a coma, but has no brain activity. His wife is, effectively, now dead.
