The climax of the entire week will take place in the final episode: Bear Wolf breaks into the warehouse where Ray is holding April hostage.

Inside, Celia is preparing a truck to transport people, while Anya lies motionless in the corner, her blood supply running out.

When Bear appears, Ray fires a warning shot: “You’re late, Wolf. She only has a few minutes.”

Bear screams: “I’m not afraid to die, but I’ll drag you to hell with me.”

The two rush each other, blood spilling, the slow-motion scene is breathtaking.

April takes advantage of the opening, unties Anya and throws the petrol can. The fire erupts – the scene is red, the screams are chaotic. According to spoilers, one of the three will not survive, but ITV is keeping the identity secret to create shock.

This episode is predicted to be a “Season Climax” – closing the series of tragedies with a literal explosion and emotion. And no matter who leaves, the message is clear: “In Emmerdale, there are no heroes, only survivors.”
