The audience of Emmerdale has not yet recovered from the series of twists last week when the new episodes continue to stir up more turmoil.

The focus this time is no longer on Aaron falling into a coma or Vinny entering a secret wedding, but on Mack’s mysterious disappearance.

Is this just a normal incident, or is there a dark plot behind it manipulated by John Sugden?

Moira begins to feel uneasy when many calls to Mack only ring hopelessly.

She is even more worried when Cain cannot be contacted. A vague fear arises in Moira’s heart: has something bad happened to Mack?

The worry quickly turns into an obsession. Moira goes to each acquaintance, asking about Mack’s whereabouts, but no one has an answer. The feeling that the whole village is hiding something makes her lose control. The scenes of Moira crying in the dark, her hands shaking as she held the phone, made viewers shudder with sympathy.

Cain, who was tougher, could not hide his uneasiness. In a dramatic scene, he frankly told Moira that John might be involved in Mack’s disappearance. They both recalled the accident in the canyon, where John had made up a story to blame Robert. If John was evil enough to harm his own brother, then killing Mack to hide the secret was not impossible.

Cain decided to investigate. He secretly followed John, trying to find a loophole. One time, Cain caught John secretly talking to a stranger in the parking lot. Although there was no clear evidence, John’s tense eyes were enough to convince Cain that he was hiding something terrible.

While Moira and Cain were bewildered, John appeared with the appearance of a pitiful “victim”. He cleverly tells the police that Robert might be involved in Mack’s disappearance, trying to put his brother in danger again.

However, the audience realizes that the pieces are gradually coming together. Could it be that John is the one who is holding Mack captive, in order to silence him before the truth is revealed? The scene where John looks into the mirror, saying to himself: “No one is allowed to ruin my plans” reveals the darkness in his soul.

When Moira sits by the window, whispering: “Please be safe, Mack”, the audience clearly feels the despair that is enveloping. Cain, with his iron determination, certainly will not sit still. A direct confrontation between Cain and John seems inevitable.

Mack’s disappearance is not just a side detail, but the climax of the next series of drama. It could expose John’s entire plot, or plunge Emmerdale into an even greater tragedy.
