Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) is broken over an emotional apology letter from Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) in Emmerdale.
The troubled teen was recently sent down for eight months after crashing the car that killed Bob’s son Heath (Sebastian Dowling) on New Year’s Eve.
Alongside Heath’s twin Cathy (Gabrielle Dowling), the youngsters decided to steal Wendy Posner’s (Susan Cookson) car and drive to a party in Hotten.
Unfortunately, after losing control of the vehicle, Heath lost his life and Cathy took responsibility for the accident.
Initially, Bob was in turmoil over the thought of one of one child’s actions causing the other to lose their life.
Meanwhile, Angelica’s parents Jimmy and Nicola King (Nick Miles and Nicola Wheeler) swore her to secrecy, but after seeing the anguish it was causing on the village she forced herself to come clean.
After learning she was being sent to a youth detention centre for eight months, Angel seemed almost at ease with the idea and looked into the learning opportunities she could embark on whilst locked up – though Nicola had deeper concerns for her wellbeing.
In tonight’s (14th March) episode, Bob received a letter from Angel, pouring her heart out for forgiveness over the incident.
‘A bit of her died too’, Bob read.
Cathy broke down in tears as Bob wished he could turn back time to when the kids were younger and attending each other’s birthday parties.
Admitting that although he would struggle to make peace going forward, he knew that Heath would want him to.
Calling round to Victoria Cottage, Bob and the King’s decided to look to the future and shared sweet memories of their children.
As the night drew to a close, Jimmy and Nicola sat down for their long-awaited phone call with Angel.
‘Hey sweetheart, what did you have for tea? Have you made any friends?’ Nicola asked her.
She stayed quiet and solemnly told her parents that she didn’t want to speak with her brothers.
‘When can you visit? I need you, I don’t like it here. It’s scary’ she said.

Jimmy held Nicola close as she began to pour her heart out to their daughter: ‘Angel, you listen to me. There is nothing to be scared of – most of those girls are probably just the same as you, got themselves into trouble and are trying to make the best of it,’
‘So you walk tall, and remember you’re a King and Kings are wise. Kings are brave, Kings are special. We are so, so proud of you darling.’
The phone went dead.
