Emmerdale viewers were baffled after The Woolpack was sold on tonight's episode.
Thursday's double header of the long-running soap continued to explore the ownership battle for the Woolpack pub.
The pub was destroyed in the dramatic Christmas Day explosion which ruined Al Chapman's bid to take over The Woolpack.

Chas and Marlon Dingle were the previous landlords and their financial struggles have left them with no other option but to auction off the pub.
The character, played by Lucy Pargeter, was devastated as she was about to finally let the iconic fictional pub go in tonight's first episode.
Al has since received heavy financial backing from a brewery who had concocted a plan to buy the pub and let him run the day-to-day goings on.
They were going up against Cain Dingle, who was willing to put his family at risk of bankruptcy to keep the pub out of Al's hands.
The pub was eventually bought by a mystery buyer for £325,000, but fans on Twitter were confused at why someone would pay so much for the pub.
OutspokenSphere said: "£300k for the Woolpack, writers getting carried away here."
Sue added: "Why so many people after this pub, it never has any customers"
Kelly commented: "The pub in the middle of nowhere with no customers that everyone wants"
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub with an additional episode at 8pm on Thursdays
