While Tracy tries to deny her guilt, the real culprit – John Sugden – is on the run.

When the police find new evidence in the Nate case, John seeks out Caleb Milligan, begging for help to leave the Dales.

But Cain Dingle has anticipated it. He intercepts them in a wild forest – where fog is thick and memories of hatred are overflowing.

According to the leak, Cain is holding Nate’s old shotgun – a symbol of his pain.

“If justice doesn’t come, I’ll bring it myself,” he says coldly. John panics, using the email containing Caleb’s incriminating evidence to bargain, but it is this action that causes Caleb to panic. In a panic, Caleb swung his shovel and knocked John to the ground, leaving him lying in the middle of the woods – blood seeping into the ground like a curse signaling the downfall of the entire Sugden family.

In the extended fantasy, after Caleb escaped, Cain did not save John immediately. He stood there looking at the unconscious body, his eyes cold, then whispered:

“My son died because of you. I will not let you die so easily.”

At the same time, Moira and Charity realized that Cain had disappeared all night. Moira followed the truck’s GPS and discovered blood on the trail. The scene where Moira walked into the woods, holding a flashlight and shining it on Cain – who was bending over John – was a breathtaking moment for the audience.

“What are you doing, Cain?”
“Doing something the police wouldn’t dare do.”

After the incident, John was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but what shocked the audience even more: Caleb disappeared from the village. A haunting ending reveals Cain standing by the window, the dim light illuminating his weathered face – half regret, half satisfaction.

In Emmerdale, every action has a price. Cain has crossed the line between justice and evil, and from here, no one knows if he will ever come back.
