While Robert is held at the police station, John continues to strike with a more gruesome plot.

In a scene that makes the audience “chill”, he sneaks into the hospital, finds Aaron’s room.

His eyes silently stare at the motionless man on the hospital bed, full of calculation.

John has a “sick pleasure” in deciding the lives of others, and Aaron at this moment is no different from the perfect prey: helpless, with no one by his side, completely leaving his fate in his hands.

The audience will surely hold their breath when they see John leaning close to Aaron’s face, his eyes flashing with cruelty. Will he kill Aaron to bury all the secrets?

This moment is the climax of the episode, when evil seems to win absolutely. Aaron could lose his life, Mack could never be found, Robert could forever be wrongly accused. But Emmerdale always knows how to sow a glimmer of hope: will someone suddenly appear to stop John? Or will Aaron wake up in time to foil that terrifying plot? All will keep the audience glued to their seats.
