Emmerdale viewers can expect a whirlwind of drama in the Dales next week. Liam probes John about his relationship with Aaron, but John is reluctant to discuss it.
Later, PC Swirling confronts Aaron on main street to question him about some stolen smartwatches, after his car was spotted leaving the crime scene.
Aaron pretends to be innocent as John approaches. Aaron is pleased to have kept John oblivious when Swirling finds no evidence.
Aaron becomes interested when Mack suggests using John's van to dispose of the smartwatches. When John refuses to lend his van to Aaron, Aaron initiates his plan by stealing the keys while John is distracted.
