While Bear is hanging between life and death, Emmerdale doesn’t stop there.

An illegal party is held at the rich family’s land — to solve the problem, to get revenge, to clear debts — but turns into a disaster.

Alcohol, gambling, guns… all chaos culminates when a shot is pulled, and the person shot is none other than Kim Tate — the symbol of power, sharp, scandalous in the village.

Moment: Kim is sneaking out when she hears a strange noise.

She walks through the night woods, holding her evening dress, her heart full of vigilance. Suddenly, a gunshot rings out. Kim falls to her knees, blood spurting, her skirt covered in mud. The cold of the snow, her breathing quickens, her heart pounding like thunder. She looks at the sky, looks at the halo of low-voltage lights, finds herself alone in the woods, in danger.

The party organizers — including Sam Dingle and Lydia Dingle — fled, disrupting the fateful night. They used smoke, screams, and running. But Kim — wounded as she was — crawled, clutching her emergency mobile phone, trying to call for help. Sounds echoed through the woods: rustling leaves, trampling grass, people running. Kim held her breath, leaned against a tree… and waited.

This scene was more than just a sensation — it was an explosion that shattered the placid mask of Emmerdale. The rich, the powerful — not just using money to hide — but willing to use guns, using crime to maintain their position. Kim had once controlled people, controlled many destinies; now she herself became the target. Chills.

The village was shaken. Mayor, villagers, police — all converged on Home Farm. But the illegal party, the guns, the panicked witnesses — too many loopholes to cover. Kim was rushed to the hospital; Blood, bandages, crying, bowed heads — Emmerdale is at the cusp of a storm: crime, violence, power colliding like bombs.
