John plans his escape with Aaron, but their future is at risk when Mack discovers a clue to Nate's murder
Is John's secret about to be exposed?
In Tuesday’s episode of Emmerdale, John and Aaron planned to leave the village – but spoilers for the week ahead reveal John’s secret is in danger of being exposed by Mack.
After sleeping with his ex, Aaron Dingle is eager to get away for a bit, while John is stressed about the investigation into Nate’s death being reopened.
The two men decide they need a fresh start away from Emmerdale, but will Mack’s discovery stop their plan to escape?
John stressed over police presence
In Tuesday’s episode of Emmerdale, John Sugden stressed as the police continued to investigate Nate’s death.
Spotting a police car outside the surgery, John panicked and headed inside to see what was happening. There, DC Cole was talking to GP Liam about Owen Michaels.
Viewers will know that John set Owen up to take the fall for Nate’s murder. John even wrote a confession in the form of a suicide note on Owen’s computer.
But it’s that note that may be John’s downfall, as DC Cole explained they’ve since discovered that the suicide note on Owen’s computer was saved after his confirmed time of death.
Aaron and John planned to leave the village
Robert put pressure on Aaron to tell John that they’re getting back together. However, Aaron was reluctant and told Robert that them sleeping together was a mistake and can’t happen again.
Aaron later told Mack what happened, but insisted it was John he wanted to be with.
John arrived home for lunch, feeling stressed from having to “support everyone” and seeing Robbert everywhere. This led to Aaron suggesting they get away for a while.
“All we have to do is pack our bags and we leave the village tomorrow,” Aaron said. This left John feeling both shocked and relieved that he would be able to escape the Nate drama.
In the pub, Aaron told his mum Chas the news and informed her that if they find somewhere they like they’ll be staying there long-term.
Mack was not impressed with Aaron’s plan, telling him that it was obvious that he loved Robert and running away isn’t the answer.
Meanwhile, John made a phone call asking for help with “a loose end that needs tidying up”.
Mack makes a discovery in Emmerdale spoilers
Emmerdale spoilers for the rest of the week reveal that Mack makes a discovery.
When John offers Mack a lift in his van, Mack happens across a big clue. Has he discovered the truth about John?
Reports have suggested that Mack’s discovery will put him in the firing line and he will die at the hands of John. Though viewers have shared a different theory.
One thing we do know is Mack will be in danger. At the start of the year, Emmerdale previewed some flash forward scenes – one of which showed Mack looking scared as he run through the woods.
A new trailer shows more details, including John telling Mack: “I’m guessing you’ve joined up the dots,” before he raises a rock above his head to bring down on Mack.
