The aftermath of Jai Sharma's actions continues to unfold, even as the divorce proceedings between him and Laurel Thomas are underway in Emmerdale. Jai's deplorable behavior has led to the end of their marriage, but he is not content with simply accepting the consequences of his actions. Instead, he is determined to make Laurel pay for daring to break free from him.
Laurel made the decision to file for divorce after discovering that Jai had not only physically assaulted Amit, but also had been blackmailing Pollard and swindling Suni out of his rightful inheritance. Some may argue that Laurel's reaction is justified, but Jai is not one for fairness. Ever since Laurel uttered the word "divorce," Jai has been plotting ways to hurt her. He refuses to give her access to their son Archie, makes her professional life a living nightmare, and causes her grief for simply asking for what she is entitled to.
As the two of them attend mediation, Jai is appalled when Laurel suggests they divide their assets. His calculating mind immediately starts scheming, determined to come out on top. However, Laurel is no fool and decides to outsmart Jai by teaming up with Gabby. Together, they come up with a clever plan to buy Jai's shares in the Hide. When Jai finds out, he is furious and humiliated that his soon-to-be ex-wife has outwitted him.
For soap fans who love a good twist, it's time to buckle up. As Jai prepares to retaliate against Laurel for her attempt to outmaneuver him, he reveals in mediation that he has sold Holdgate and Tenants to pay off debts, leaving Laurel with nothing in the divorce. Although Jai appears cold-hearted, he confides in his friend Caleb that he has second thoughts about this cruel move. However, Caleb quickly reminds him that he owes Laurel nothing and encourages Jai to stand his ground.
Feeling confident that he is in the right, Jai moves forward with his plan. But as he becomes more consumed by his desire for revenge, one has to wonder if he is headed for a major downfall. Will Jai's actions ultimately lead to his own downfall? Only time will tell.
