After days of living in fear, April finally couldn’t take it anymore.

She went to Marlon in the kitchen, her eyes red, her hands shaking. “Dad… I have to tell you something.”

The air was silent. Marlon put down the knife, turned around, and looked straight at his daughter.

April burst into tears: “I hurt Callum. I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to defend myself…”

Marlon was stunned. He couldn’t believe his little girl was involved in such a serious incident. But instead of scolding her, he hugged her: “You don’t have to suffer alone anymore.”

Just then, April’s phone rang – a text message from an anonymous person: “You made the wrong choice.” She looked at the screen, her heart stopped. Marlon picked up the phone, read the message, his eyes changed – from shock to anger.

The episode ends with father and son looking at each other, determined to fight whoever is behind it. In the distance, Dylan is walking towards their house, watched from across the road by a shadow. Streetlights flicker. Music plays in the background – signaling Emmerdale is about to enter its darkest episode yet.
