The atmosphere in Emmerdale next week is suffocating when John Sugden – who is being hunted by the police – suddenly hides at his half-sister Victoria’s house.

This reckless decision not only makes the situation more dangerous, but also opens a chilling revenge plan.

Victoria and Robert return home in a calm mood, completely unaware that John is lurking in the dark.

They also let little Harry – Victoria’s son – run into the house first, not knowing that inside there is someone holding a syringe containing poison.

The image of John standing behind the door, his eyes flashing with hatred, his trembling hand tightly gripping the syringe, makes the audience hold their breath.

In John’s mind, Robert is the one who deserves to pay. He used to swear that he was not a murderer, but this time, hatred seems to have pushed him to the edge. Just one more step, John could turn the oath into a lie, and then put an end to Robert’s life.

However, when he heard the conversation between Robert and Victoria – that John never really cared about his sister – he suddenly stopped. The feeling of being despised was like a knife twisting into his pride, causing John to unconsciously take back the syringe and leave. That was the rare moment of remaining conscience that prevented him from causing an irreparable tragedy.

However, the fact that John had once intended to attack Robert made the audience shudder. And his retreat did not mean the end of the nightmare. On the contrary, this was just the beginning of even more intense drama in the upcoming episodes.
