While in the vets, Rhona told Marlon that some Ketamine had gone missing. They immediately suspected Dylan and went to confront him.

Dylan insisted he’d not taken the drugs, but when the trio forced him to empty his pockets, the missing Ketamine was found. He continued to plead his innocence, but when even April wouldn’t back him up, he grabbed his stuff and left.

Later on, Marlon admitted to Rhona that it had actually been him who stole the Ketamine in order to set Dylan up and get him out of April’s life. It proved to be a costly mistake.

Soon after, Ross called Marlon to tell him he’d seen Dylan being out in the back of an ambulance after overdosing on ‘spice.’ Marlon and Rhona rushed to the hospital, where Marlon admitted to feeling guilty for what he’d done to Dylan.

Will Dylan die in Emmerdale?

Things looked bleak for Dylan at the end of Monday’s episode, but, thankfully, spoilers for this week reveal that Dylan does wake up.

Coming up this week, Marlon struggles with his guilt and wants to tell April the truth about the Ketamine. Rhona implores him not to. However, when Dylan wakes, Marlon does confess the truth to him.

Marlon explains to Dylan that he regrets his actions and only had his concern for April on his mind. Marlon also offers to pay for Dylan to go to rehab.

Dylan then surprises Marlon by telling him not to upset April by telling her the truth. But later on he asks Marlon if he can see April before going to rehab as he wants to tell her something. Has he had a change of heart about keeping Marlon’s secret, and will he get the help he needs?
