Mack had found out John had killed Nate Robinson, and since then he learned more of John&#8217;s crimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">But as Mack made his bid for freedom in tense scenes on Thursday, John stopped him before Aaron collapsed in the woods.

The episode cut to black just as John walked sinisterly towards a terrified Mack, wielding an axe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Mack&#8217;s fate is now not known, but his situation has finally been rumbled. Friday&#8217;s episode saw Aaron not feeling great, while he told John all about what he remembered from the woods, including the metal door and someone screaming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He&#8217;d heard Mack shouting for help and calling his name, but didn&#8217;t realise it at the time. It was only on Friday when he tried to recall everything that had happened, not sure what was real as John claimed it was all in his head, that he remembered the voice was Mack&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">John denied Mack was anywhere near them leaving Aaron confused. But a shocking moment later in the episode confirmed Aaron&#8217;s worst fears, and left him truly horrified.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/0_Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-163133jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"There were yet more tense scenes on\u00a0Emmerdale\u00a0on Friday as Aaron Dingle finally realised what his husband John Sugden was up to\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>There were yet more tense scenes on\u00a0Emmerdale\u00a0on Friday as Aaron Dingle finally realised what his husband John Sugden was up to(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He realised John was drugging him and after failing to get away he decided to look for a phone.

In that chilling moment Aaron realised that not only was his husband dangerous and a liar, but there was every chance he&#8217;d done something to Mack, who had been AWOL for two weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">So what will Aaron do next?
