Moira and Cain are back together, but this fan theory suggests another huge secret will divide them – and it’s about Nate’s death
The couple decided to give their relationship another go
Viewers rejoiced as Moira and Cain finally decided to get back together in last night’s episode of Emmerdale. But while they may have happiness now, some fear another huge blow is around the corner. And it’s to do with Nate’s murderer.
After a conversation with Ruby of all people, Moira decided she wanted her marriage to Cain to work. And she told him exactly that, while also using a chicken burger analogy. It took Cain a minute to realise what she was saying, but when he did, the pair kissed and made up.
Fans were immediately thrilled that their break-up wasn’t going to last long, and that they are putting things right between them. But one commented that the quick make-up may actually be pointing towards a more sinister turn. As Nate’s body is bound to be discovered soon. And perhaps Moira had more to do with that then anyone knows.
Moira and Cain reunite, but did she kill Nate in Emmerdale?
Nate’s body is sinking under the lake after the huge limo crash reveal. Poor Amy was trapped under the ice alongside him. But she made sure to use her last words to warn Matty that he was under there – although he didn’t get what she was saying.
A few episodes later we saw a figure wearing a black hoodie stood beside the lake as police cleared the scene. Since then there have been numerous theories on who the hooded figure was, but Caleb and John seem to be the most common. However, after Moira’s outfit choice last night, some fear that it may have been her. And it’s not like she didn’t have motive or opportunity.
Taking to a reddit thread, one user commented: “I’m not going to lie, when I saw the episode I noticed Moira was wearing a black hoodie and my heart sank. All I can think about is that Emmerdale are going to pull a ‘Can you forgive the woman who killed your son and forgot about it’ storyline with them. I really hope it’s anyone else. John or Ella. Or even Bob – just not Moira.”
Was it possible?
Could she have done it? While it seems a bit extreme for Moira to have killed her son-in-law, at the time of Nate’s exit she was having a lot of memory issues.
Moira was unaware of her brain tumour, and was living a very reckless life. She even got Ruby in the barn and set fire to it to try and kill her because she was hallucinating Emma Barton.
And everyone had just accused her and Nate of re-starting their affair. Admittedly that means a lot of people were angry at Nate, but in Moira’s mind-set back then, she may have wanted to prove that there was nothing going on.
If she did kill her husband’s son, perhaps she completely forgot about it and someone else covered it up? Or when she remembered did she panic and cover her own tracks.. she wasn’t in a good place back then.
Either way, it remains to be seen if Moira did kill Nate. But we would hope that Emmerdale lets her and Cain have a little bit of happiness sometime soon – they deserve it.
