Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) is set to discover the truth regarding the fate of his best friend Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) as his deranged husband John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) finally comes unstuck, leading to a deadly showdown.

John looked set to escape the Dales with the life he dreamed of. Husband Aaron by his side and with only love-rival/half-brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) not won over by his ‘hero’ act. But along came Mack.

Audiences watched in horror as John shot poor Mack with a bow and arrow after he John’s scrapbook. Though fans believed that John had callously murdered Mack, he’s actually keeping him (barely) alive in an underground bunker.

Determined to keep Aaron in line amidst the situation he’s found himself in, John takes to drugging his husband, though it isn’t long before Aaron begins to wake up to who he’s trapped in a cottage with.

‘I think he starts to realise that there’s stuff going on that he doesn’t know about.’

‘Of course he’s got Mackenzie’s voice in the back of his head, and he’s got Robert’s voice in the back of his head and he’s trying to ignore all that because he wants it to work with John,’ Danny Miller said, on Aaron starting to work out what’s really going on.

Though we won’t reveal just how Aaron discovers the link between John and Mack’s disappearance, rest assured that he does, and he’s determined to discover what happened to his friend.

As things head full steam toward a crescendo, Robert arrives at the cottage with a bag full of accusations to lay at John’s feet.

The verbal sparring soon gives way to a physical fight and Robert is left unconscious, while Aaron shoots his shot.

Desperately searching the woods for the hatch that could provide him with the answers to Mack’s ultimate fate, Aaron is caught by John, who’s still clinging to the hope that the two can work things out.

We know things are about to take a downward turn, but before Aaron finds himself at the bottom of the gorge with his unhinged husband, will he learn what happened to his bestie? Will Mack finally be set free?
