After being rescued at the bottom of the canyon, Aaron Dingle still could not escape the hands of death.

Taken to the hospital in critical condition, he immediately underwent brain surgery due to hemorrhage.

The doctors frankly announced: Aaron had suffered a heart attack, his brain was deprived of oxygen, and to save his life, they were forced to put him in an artificial coma.

In the waiting room, Robert collapsed, holding his head in despair.

His eyes were red, his voice trembling as he asked the doctor: “Is there any chance for him?”. The answer received was only heavy silence, then a brief affirmation: “We will do our best, but his condition is still very critical”.

The audience was haunted by the image of Aaron lying quietly among tubes and machines. From a strong, hot-tempered but loving character, he was now like an inanimate body waiting for the verdict of fate. This image caused the Emmerdale fan community to call out on Twitter: “Don’t kill Aaron, he deserves to live”.

In contrast to Aaron’s fragility, John Sugden made a miraculous recovery. Despite broken ribs and internal bleeding, the doctor confirmed that he would be “fine”. A man who had committed so many crimes could escape death, while the victim had to fight for every breath – this was the injustice that made viewers angry.

The episode also revealed another cruel truth: many people in the village believed that Robert was the one who pushed Aaron and John off the cliff. No one knew the whole truth, and Robert quickly became the “prime suspect”. The police arrived at the hospital, coldly handcuffed him and accused him of attempted murder. While Aaron was still in a coma, Robert cried and screamed: “I didn’t do it, please believe me!”. At that moment, the audience was even more outraged: the perpetrator was cared for, while the innocent was chained.
