Ray Walters is used to manipulating others, but this time he didn’t expect that the person attacking him would be Bear — the gentlest man in the village.

And behind Ray’s downfall, there’s an even scarier name: Celia Daniels.

Drama broke out when Ray was caught blatantly lying about a land deal and trying to blame someone else.

Bear heard the news and got angry, dragging Ray into the corner of the pub and roaring: “You’ve messed with the wrong person.”

The scene of Bear pinning Ray to the wall sent Emmerdale fans into a frenzy — this was no longer the gentle Bear, this was the betrayed Bear.

Ray staggered, trying to explain, but Bear didn’t want to listen. “You hurt my family.” Ray’s hands shook, his mouth stammering: “No… not me…” But Bear’s eyes only darkened.

The incident spread quickly throughout the village, but what was even more frightening was that another person had witnessed everything Ray had done before — Celia Daniels. She had recently appeared as an “outsider,” but in fact, she had a lot of information about Ray.

Celia came to Ray after the incident, her voice as light as the wind but as cold as steel: “I told you. Don’t make me clean up your mess again.”

Ray was so scared that he took three steps back. That made the audience immediately understand: Ray was not the main manipulator. Celia was the one pulling the strings.

The “leak” revealed that Celia was involved in an illegal trading network — in which Ray was just a small link. Bear accidentally broke that fragile balance, and now Ray was like a trapped animal, not knowing where to run.
