But as Emmerdale viewers know, Jai lacks the funds and turns to his sister Priya (Fiona Wade) to help raise them..
However the possible sale of Mulberry Cottage makes Jai’s underhand behaviour worse as he suggests Priya and their father Rishi (Bhasker Patel) sell their own home, Holdgate Farm, resulting them in being homeless as well.
Priya is angered and, soon, the siblings ferociously argue… which culminates in Rishi collapsing amid the chaos.
In a later scene, Jai joins Rishi and Priya in the hospital.
Although Rishi appears to be in good spirits despite his fall and is awaiting blood tests before his return home, Priya still has a bone to pick with her brother.
Jai is happy to see his father doing well and offers him a lift home.
Priya soon shuts him down by saying: “There’s no need.”
“You didn’t seem to worry about Dad’s feelings when you decided you could sell our house behind our back”, the wedding planner adds.
Jai defends himself by claiming he was panicking about Laurel losing her home and admitting he hadn’t thought everything through.
Priya further insists that Jai promises he will never mention anything about selling Holdgate again, to which he agrees.
Rishi acts as a mediator, attempting to nip any tension in the bud but Priya isn’t convinced: “depends on what his coming plan is going to be.”
Spoilers have already confirmed that there’s more trouble for Jai as his attempts to stop his world from crumbling down result in a wedge between him and Laurel.
Laurel is set to discover that Jai fraudulently filed for a large loan in her name, which could mean the end of their relationship.
How far will Jai go before his lies and scheming catch up with him?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm with an extra episode on Thursdays at 8pm.
