While John continues to sow chaos, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is in pain when he learns that John is the one who killed his son, Nate Robinson.

The loss is so great that Cain explodes.

He takes his anger out on Aaron – his nephew, who was already exhausted after being imprisoned.

But the truth is that Cain is also blaming himself, because he accidentally helped John escape from the hospital.

The feeling of guilt mixed with hatred turns Cain into an unpredictable explosive. He vows to take John into his own hands, regardless of the law or the consequences. Viewers can completely expect a bloody confrontation between Cain and John – two men who are linked by an irreconcilable feud.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) are trying to recover from being imprisoned by John. The scene where Mack visits Aaron in hospital is heartbreaking. The two share emotional wounds, facing the ghosts of the past together.

Ruby Milligan also appears, comparing Aaron’s pain to her own childhood tragedy of being abused by Anthony. She asserts: “We are all victims, don’t blame yourself.” But while Ruby and Chas believe John is gone, Aaron has a hunch this isn’t the end.

With Cain harboring hatred, Aaron still haunted and John still on the run, Emmerdale next week is sure to explode. Drama after drama, leaving the haunting question: Who will pay the price next?
