Will either of them make it out alive?
7-13 SEPTEMBER
Last week, we saw Moira increasingly act unlike herself and after an affection moment with Nate, she's unsure of the problem. However, Cain has seen it all from a slightly different angle.
When Cain hears of Moira's 'kiss' with Nate, from Caleb, he's taken aback and reeling. But when Moira plays down the moment, Cain's incredulity only makes her angry and she slams out.
When Caleb confronts Nate about what he saw with Moira, Tracy is totally heartbroken to hear what has happened as Caleb reveals all.
And Nate is caught like a rabbit in the headlights when Cain turns up looking for an explanation, fuming to hear of Nate's betrayal.
Before long, Cain arrives, fuming to hear of Nate’s betrayal. But as Nate tries to explain, Cain snaps and punches him to the floor. Consumed by rage, Cain rains punches down on Nate.
Pleaded by Tracy he eventually stops, and despite Nate’s continued emotional denial, Cain walks out disowning his son.
Upset, Tracy tells Nate she can no longer go to Shetland with him and runs out. Desperate, Nate is dismayed at what he’s losing in the face of Tracy’s ire.
Giving Nate five minutes to explain and say goodbye to Frankie, hard-line Tracy withdraws to another room. Can Nate really leave alone as the guilty party?
Later, a furious Cain returns and Moira is dismayed to realise he’s beaten-up Nate. As he rages about her indiscretion, a flicker of deja vu begins to intrude Moira’s thoughts. Shocked and stressed, she slaps Cain, and he leaves.
Arriving in the barn to gloat, Ruby becomes slightly sorry for Moira when she’s unresponsive to the jibes. Stressed, Moira spills tractor fuel in the barn and when Ruby's voice begins to blur with her old nemesis Emma Barton, an unrecognisable Moira raises her shotgun at freaked out Ruby.
As Moira padlocks the barn, she continues to see Emma instead of Ruby and fires a warning shot into the air which frightens Ruby. But when the shot hits a lightbulb, a spark takes hold and a tussle for the shotgun ends with Moria dazing Ruby with a blow to the head.
Coming out of her daze, Moira is hazy, shaken and confused. When the spark catches the tractor fuel and quickly becomes a blaze, Moira freezes, helpless next to Ruby’s body.
Seeing the smoke coming from the barn at a distance, Mack tries to get in touch with Moira. With no luck, he hurries to the quad bike parked nearby in the field. Exchanging a worried look when they meet at the barn, Mack and John both make to go inside.
A call from Mack informs Cain, Caleb and Chas of the fire and they speed off toward the barn. Cain, despite his current anger with his wife, races to the burning barn whilst a panicking Chas tries to hold him back from dashing inside to get to his wife.
With them trapped in the burning barn, it's not long before a huge explosion throws them all to the ground.
Emmerdale continues Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV1
