In recognition of this big moment, Emmerdale will be straying away slightly from its usual style across this week's episodes.
Featuring alongside all of the drama from the village, the show will give brief glimpses of the future as some of the regular characters are seen being quizzed by the police.
Characters like Faith Dingle and Priya Sharma will be seen making reference to something terrible that happened during the masquerade ball at Home Farm.
We know that the event will go off with a bang when Kim gatecrashes the party and later gets pushed from an upstairs balcony by one of her enemies.
Could the special police scenes offer any early clues to the culprit and their motive?
Claire King, who plays Kim, has confirmed that she's back in Emmerdale for a week-long return stint.
Speaking recently, she explained: "I've known for quite a long time – about a year. It's been really hard not telling anybody at all. I did tell my mum, dad and partner, but that's it.
"It was weird as I had to park in the back lot where all the trucks are parked. It was all false noses and I remember thinking, 'This is ridiculous'. It was really difficult at the time, but everyone did a really brilliant job at keeping it quiet."
