John gave him a glass of water, which Aaron claimed tasted strange. John covered it had vitamins in to help him feel better.

Aaron tried to apologise and told John it meant nothing. Back in the Dales, Paddy had decided to break confidentiality and tell Robert he thought John was calling him on the helpline. As Robert worried for Aaron, Paddy seemed more concerned about John – is he a fool or what?! But as Robert asked Victoria for help, she dismissed him as making things up to get Aaron back. As if she wasn’t really annoying before! Robert then heard Tracy telling Charity she thought something had happened to Mack like it did Nate. Their disappearances were just too similar.

Do you understand?” John told him under the pretext of being his medical carer. “Yeah, I understand,” Aaron nodded, and it was at this moment we saw he truly did understand exactly who John is.

But it’s John who gets the upper hand, knocking Robert out cold. As John races off to track down Aaron, he locates him at the edge of a gorge. They start talking and Aaron is seemingly getting through to John as he confesses everything. But just as John is about to call the police and admit it all, Robert turns up. Betrayed and upset, John frames Robert on the call to the police, before grabbing Aaron and pulling them both over the edge of the cliff. Who will survive? And how will Robert manage to get anyone to believe his version of events if John and Aaron don’t make it? Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale?
