It all kicked off during Tuesday night's episode when Nicola goaded Jimmy for not defending her after the fire Rakesh purposefully set left her disabled.
An angered Jimmy knocked Rakesh out and tied him up in a chair at The Mill house.
When he wakes up, Rakesh thinks Jimmy has found him but is surprised to discover he was the one who kidnapped him in the first place.
Jimmy then pours what he believes to be White Spirits around Rakesh as threatens to set him on fire unless he leaves the Dales for good.

He told him: "Do you know how long it takes her to get dressed in the morning? It breaks your heart.
"My wife nearly died because of you and every time she sees your stupid little face, it brings it all back.
"It is a total nightmare."
However, as Jimmy stormed off Rakesh called after him saying: "And all of this makes it better how? Jimmy. Jimmy."
But eagle-eyed fans noticed how Rakesh's lips didn't appear to move while he was talking.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "Anyone else see Rakesh the ventriloquist on tonight emmerdale."
Another added: "Did anyone else just notice Rakesh call Jimmy back without his lips moving?";
Things soon escalated between the pair when Rakesh unties his hands and lunges at Jimmy.
Jimmy isn't prepared to let him escape and pushes him onto the wheelie chair which goes through the window frame which hasn't had any glass fitted yet .
