Cain’s refusal to give up on Monty drives his family apart in Emmerdale

Who will Kyle turn to instead?

 18-24 JULY

Holding onto hope for his dog Monty’s health, Cain seeks a second vet opinion, reasoning that if radiotherapy can help him, it can surely help Monty too.

But Cain's obsession with making Monty better causes him to be emotionally distant from Kyle and Moira. And whilst Kyle struggles at Cadets, because Cain is dismissive about cadets, Kyle is too hurt to ask for help.

Moira's attempts to reach out and to temper Cain’s expectations for Monty go nowhere.

When Cain learns the stark truth that Monty’s tumours are inoperable, it’s too much to take in.

Soon, to avoid alone time with Moira, Cain takes Kyle camping, but is angered when Kyle invites Graham.

As the three set off on this ill-fated camping trip, Cain's tensions with Graham escalate until Cain snaps, leading Kyle to chastise his father. Cain storms off.

As darkness draws in, Cain falls down a hillside and traps his leg.

Emmerdale continues Monday to Friday at 8pm on ITV1 with first look episodes available from 7am on ITVX
