Grieving Tracy is struggling in Emmerdale spoilers

The investigation into Nate’s murder has come to an end and the police are confident it’s case closed. Thanks to removal man Ben’s false statement, DC Cole and his team are certain that Nate was killed by Owen Michaels.

Meanwhile, Tracy’s been on her own quest to find out what happened to Nate. The trauma of the past few months has really taken its toll on the single mum. And when Liam pops into the shop next week he can’t help but notice how down Tracy is.

He offers his support, which helps Tracy open up. She admits she’s been suffering from bouts of depression and is worried how she’s going to cope with raising Frankie single-handedly. Liam listens to Tracy’s troubles and suggests they arrange for her to have more counselling.

Charity reaches out to Tracy

Over at The Woolpack, Charity is turmoil as she tries to process the sudden collapse of her marriage. Charity hasn’t heard from Mack since he sent a cold-hearted text ending their relationship, while he was on a stag do in London.

Viewers know that Mack never made it to the Big Smoke. His exact fate remains unknown, but it appears he may have become John’s latest victim.

Charity’s heart goes out to Tracy when she hears how rough it’s been. The ladies have an emotional heart-to-heart, where Charity contemplates how to break Moses’s heart by telling him Mack has left them.

But when Tracy discovers Mack dumped Charity by text  – the same way Nate ditched her – her mind starts whirring. Convinced this isn’t a mere coincidence, Tracy starts to wonder if Mack has been targeted by the same person, which means Nate’s killer is still out there!

Will she decide to investigate further?
