In a chilling twist from tonight’s episode, newcomer Lewis Barton made a dangerous deal with his half-brother Ross.
All in a desperate attempt to uncover what really happened to his mother, Emma.

While the village prepared for the much-anticipated wedding between Aaron Dingle and Jon Sugden, things behind the scenes spiraled into chaos.
Both grooms went missing just hours before the ceremony.
And McKenzie Boyd, the best man, was nowhere to be found.

Turns out, Mack had been trapped in Lewis’s weed attic during a botched robbery attempt with Ross.
They had planned to steal and sell the plants to pay off Moira’s mounting debts.

But when Lewis got an alert from his phone app about an intruder, the heist fell apart.
In a snap decision, Lewis realized Mack and Ross were trying to steal from him—and he wasn’t having it.

Holding Mack hostage, Lewis forced Ross into a painful confession.
Under mounting pressure, Ross faltered and made a crucial mistake—switching pronouns while trying to protect someone.
“She finished what I couldn’t,” he blurted.

That was all Lewis needed to connect the dots.
“Moira k.i.l.le.d my mum,” he declared, leaving Ross in stunned silence.

The question now: will Lewis confront Moira directly or take everything to the police?
Either way, Moira’s days of peace are numbered.

But that wasn’t the only bombshell tonight.
Just as Aaron and Jon’s wedding ceremony was about to begin, the doors of the pub burst open.
In walked Robert Sugden—Aaron’s ex-husband—back from prison after six long years.

The man who once held Aaron’s heart returned at the worst possible moment.
As fans know, Robert was sentenced to life in prison for k.i.l.l.i.n.g rapist Lee Pausner and cut all ties with Aaron.

Since then, Aaron had slowly moved on with Jon, who, in a twist of fate, is Robert’s long-lost brother.
Talk about complicated.

Actor Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, teased that his return is full of unexpected turns and emotional wreckage.
“There’s a lot more to Robert’s return than just opening the pub door,” he said.
“It’s chaos, it’s electric—and it’s just the beginning.”

But there’s more danger lurking in the shadows.
Viewers were left stunned when Jon was seen visiting a mysterious comatose patient named Aiden Moore.

As secrets from Jon’s military past come to light—including the d.e.a.t.h.s of Nate Robinson and a near-fatal poisoning of his own nephew—suspicions are mounting.
Who is Aiden to Jon?

Some fans believe Aiden may be an ex-lover, or even Jon’s husband.
Others think Aiden holds the key to exposing Jon’s darkest secrets.

And now that Aiden has started to wake up from his coma, the clock is ticking.
Will Aiden reveal the truth and stop the wedding before it’s too late?

Back in the village, tensions are at an all-time high.
Moira is haunted by her past.
Aaron is torn between the love he rebuilt and the love he lost.
And Jon? He may be the most dangerous of them all.

With lives on the line, relationships unraveling, and long-buried secrets clawing their way to the surface, this week in Erdale has turned everything upside down.
Who will survive the fallout?
And will the truth finally destroy everything our characters have tried so desperately to rebuild?
