Emmerdale spoilers: Sam punches Cain as Samson’s lies are exposed
But it could be too late for poor Matty
In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Samson Dingle admits the truth about his stabbing to the police after weeks of, frankly frustrating, lying.
But the confession leaves the Dingles in a right state. Sam and Cain are still at war and Sam soon turns violent. Meanwhile it causes problems for Sam and Lydia after she was instrumental in Samson coming clean.
Can the Dingles come together – or has this torn them apart for good?
Sam at war with his family
So the truth is out that Matty did not in fact stab Samson in cold blood, but accidentally when Josh pushed Samson on to Matty. The Dingles are a house divided over the revelation, however.
On one side is Sam, who is determined that Samson can’t get in trouble for this and must do the Dingle thing and run away. On the other is moral Lydia who is insistent Samson cannot evade the law.
As Sam and Samson have a secret meet-up, Lydia shows up and pleads with Samson to do the right thing. He eventually does and tells the police what really happened.
Sam is furious at everyone, Lydia for making Samson own up and Moira and Cain for reasons unknown when his son is clearly in the wrong.
Sam loses it in Emmerdale spoilers
Lydia faces the Dingle family, but stands her ground knowing she did the right thing. Meanwhile, Moira is feeling hopeful, but Sam makes it clear how angry he is with her.
Sam then comes face to face with Cain and for some reason lamps his brother one, punching Cain to the floor. Will Cain let this one go?
What Cain’s really concerned about is that Samson doesn’t try to do a runner again. Samson is left alone with his uncle and is nervous about what will happen – can’t say we blame him.
Will Cain exact revenge? Or leave that to the authorities?
Danger for Matty
Meanwhile, in prison, Matty is relieved to hear that Sam has confessed, but what little hope he has is soon forgotten when he finds Robbo waiting for him.
He goads him with transphobic threats and cowers in fear. As other inmates join in, has Samson’s confession come too late to save Matty’s life?
