Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

Yes - It is beyond belief that she did not ask them to remove their masks, if only so she would recognise them again. But to let them go, is beyond stupid. If she was scared they would overpower her, she should have told them to unbuckle their belts, and drop their trousers to their ankles. Men do not run or fight well, trying to hold up their trousers with one hand.

All logical and in real life, more than likely would have happened like you describe but not dramatic enough for soapland and now we need to go through a Dingle fallout ....
