Emmerdale has set up an unmissable week of episodes as Aaron Dingle finally discovered the truth about John Sugden.
After realising his husband had been unfaithful to him, John attempted to regain control of Aaron by spiking his whisky with drugs. John believed that he could swoop in and look after Aaron after causing him to fall ill.

The killer’s plan backfired when a weary Aaron stumbled across the bunker where Mackenzie Boyd had been held hostage. However, he collapsed in the woods and John managed to take him back to the remote cottage.
In tonight’s episode, John tried to convince Aaron that he’d had a seizure after drinking too much alcohol. When Aaron started to recall memories of the bunker, the villain decided to spike his drink once again.
With his husband asleep, the medic reached out to Paddy Dingle via the helpline, saying he’d taken matters into his own hands. Paddy, who had figured out who he was talking to, offered to refer John to a specialist but John ominously ended the chat.

Later, Paddy told Robert Sugden that he was worried John might harm himself as he knew about Aaron’s infidelity. When Robert called Aaron’s phone to check on him, John furiously questioned Aaron about why he would be ringing.
“Maybe it’s because he’s expecting round two with my husband,” John spat out. “Or did you forget you were married to me when you slept with him?”
Aaron insisted he had made a mistake by sleeping with Robert, but John called him a liar and accused him of betrayal. He stormed out of the room “to think” and ordered Aaron to stay in bed.
When he returned, John agreed to give his husband one more chance but was thrown another curveball when Aaron recalled hearing Mack’s voice in the woods.
John continued to gaslight Aaron, but while John was in the shower, Aaron discovered Mack’s phone hidden in the room. Will Aaron be able to save his best friend?
Elsewhere in the episode, Robert began to piece together clues about John’s crimes. Next week will see the two brothers facing off in a dramatic showdown with disastrous consequences.
