Aaron calls killer John out over his lies in heated Emmerdale showdown
Trying to turn everyone against his rival Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), John engineered a situation where Robert became angry with his nephew Harry, and used this to turn Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) against him. He then goaded Robert about what had happened until Robert was in despair.
Aaron (Danny Miller) heard Robert smashing up his room and went to investigate, and as he comforted an absolutely broken Robert the two men gave into the feelings that they still have for each other and ended up sleeping together.
Obviously it's the last thing John would have wanted, but he was busy getting some bad news elsewhere.
The police had discovered that the evidence against Owen, the man John framed for the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) was shaky at best. So from thinking he was nicely in the clear for that killing, John is once again worried that someone will finally link him to Nate's death.
In upcoming episodes, Robert feels that he and Aaron have turned a corner and are meant to be together once again. Aaron, however, is full of guilt that he betrayed his husband John. He confides in Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb), who is annoyed by what he hears.
Wracked with guilt, Aaron starts to think that leaving the village could be the only way he can remove himself from the temptation of Robert and make a proper go of things with John.
This idea suits John very well. With the police having found an inconsistency with Owen's 'suicide note' – the document John wrote while he waited for Owen to die of a drugs overdose – the pressure is getting to be too much.
There's some respite, however, when the removal man who came to take Nate's stuff away apparently confirms that Owen was the one who paid him to do the job, and Cain (Jeff Hordley) is satisfied that Owen is the man who killed his son.
In the wake of this, Robert starts to think that perhaps he was wrong to be suspicious of John. But soon after that another villager finds a clue that raises disturbing questions. More Trending
John has offered Mackenzie a lift in his van, and Mack finds something very suspicious in the vehicle. This leads to deadly danger for him as John realises he can't let Mack tell anyone else about his suspicions.

'Botox bandits' who nearly blinded Scots among 900 cosmetics complaints to watchdog
Horror cases revealed by Advice Direct Scotland include a woman who was left with eye damage and another unable to drive after being injected by rogue practitioners. "Botox bandits" who nearly blinded Scots were among more than 900 cosmetics complaints reported to a consumer watchdog. Horror cases revealed by Advice Direct Scotland include a woman who was left with eye damage and another unable to drive after being injected by rogue practitioners. The charity issued a warning yesterday after being hit with 901 beauty and cosmetic cases in just two years. It revealed it had dealt with 289 complaints about beauty treatments, such as fillers and laser hair removal, 155 about cosmetic services including fat dissolving injections and 12 cases involving hair replacements. Hazel Knowles, consumer project lead at Advice Direct Scotland, said: 'These cases highlight concerns about unregulated and unsafe practices across Scotland's beauty sector. 'We've supported people who have suffered serious health consequences including impaired vision due to botched Botox injections by unqualified practitioners. 'The rise of these so-called Botox bandits - untrained individuals offering aesthetic treatments in non-clinical settings - has created a potential health risk. 'Victims have reported lasting physical damage and emotional distress. People need to be aware of the pitfalls.' The charity found one rogue practitioner advertised herself as an 'advanced trained nurse practitioner' with prescribing rights but was not listed with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). She also offers unregulated training courses and reportedly prescribed medication to trainees raising serious ethical and legal concerns. One former client reported how she suffered eye damage from a Botox injection that targeted the wrong muscle. In another reported case, the victim had 'damage caused to her eyes that prevented her from driving again'. Another woman contacted the watchdog after she was unhappy with the results of cosmetic treatments through another practitioner that two follow-up visits failed to fix. They had also administered Botox, which went wrong. Despite multiple letters requesting a refund and resolution, the trader refused to engage, leaving legal action as the only remaining option. Two independent aesthetics professionals reviewed the results via video call and agreed they were below standard. Hundreds of similar complaints have emerged across Scotland.

Abrego Garcia's lawyers want smuggling charges dismissed on grounds of vindictive prosecution
Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia asked a federal judge on Tuesday to dismiss a human smuggling case against him, saying the government was prosecuting the Maryland construction worker to punish him for challenging his removal to El Salvador. Their motion filed in court said attempts to dismiss indictments on the grounds of 'selective or vindictive prosecution' are infrequent and rarely succeed, 'but if there has ever been a case for dismissal on those grounds, this is that case.' The attorneys said senior cabinet members, Justice Department leaders and President Donald Trump mounted unprecedented public attacks on Abrego Garcia and that 'vindictiveness is clear from the record.' Acting U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire in Tennessee, where Abrego Garcia is in jail, said in an email prosecutors would have no other comment beyond what they file in response to the motion. No prosecutor motion was filed as of late Tuesday. Abrego Garcia became a prominent face in the debate over Trump's immigration policies following his wrongful expulsion to El Salvador in March. Trump's administration violated a U.S. immigration judge's order in 2019 that shields Abrego Garcia from deportation to El Salvador because he likely faces threats of gang violence there. The administration claimed Abrego Garcia was in the MS-13 gang, although he wasn't charged and has repeatedly denied the allegation. Facing mounting pressure and a U.S. Supreme Court order, the Trump administration returned Abrego Garcia to the U.S. in June to face the smuggling charges, which his attorneys have called 'preposterous.' Tuesday's motion alleged the government was trying to paint Abrego Garcia as a criminal to punish him for challenging his removal to El Salvador and to avoid 'the embarrassment of accepting responsibility for its unlawful conduct." The motion said the government also aimed to change public opinion about Abrego Garcia's deportation. Abrego Garcia's attorneys asked the court at least to order a hearing on the government's motives. The smuggling case stems from a 2022 traffic stop for speeding, during which Abrego Garcia was driving a vehicle with nine passengers. Police in Tennessee suspected human smuggling, but he was allowed to drive on. A federal judge in Maryland last month prohibited the Trump administration from taking Abrego Garcia into immediate immigration custody if he's released from jail. The judge ordered the government to provide three business days notice if Immigration and Customs Enforcement intends to initiate deportation proceedings against him.
