1. Robert kisses Aaron as John makes a deadly bid to stay in control

Aaron and John have made the decision to move to John’s childhood home and head back to the Dales to break the news to Chas and pack up Mill Flat.

Of course, Aaron has no idea that John is keeping Mackenzie Boyd captive in an underground bunker. But Robert is still more than suspicious of John and when he hears the news they are moving for good, he hotfoots it over to try and persuade Aaron to stay.

Aaron is clearly conflicted over his feelings. But when Robert moves in to kiss him, will Aaron give in to temptation again?

Back at the cottage later, John wants to regain control. He spikes Aaron’s whiskey then pours him a glass. Pleased when Aaron succumbs to the drugs, John takes care of him. But then Aaron drinks more whiskey when John is out – could another dose prove fatal?

2. Tracy realises something doesn’t add up in Emmerdale spoilers

Tracy opens up to Liam about her bouts of depression and fears about being a single parent. Liam suggests more counselling. But he also mentions how he’s sceptical that Owen could have overpowered Nate.

It makes Tracy suspicious and that only grows when she then talks to Charity.

Struggling Charity has an emotional heart to heart with Tracy and shares that Mack dumped her by voice note. That fact niggles at Tracy as it’s very similar to Nate’s mysterious disappearances. As she begins to join the dots, will she work out everything?

3. Paddy has a realisation

Paddy is involved in several storylines at the moment, so his realisation could be about anything! But we’re hoping it’s less related to Dylan and more related to John Sugden.

Viewers know John is the person Paddy has been advising on the chatroom. Has Paddy finally worked that out too?
