Emmerdale spoilers: Aaron Dingle faces a 𝕕eadly reckoning after Cain wakes up from 𝕒ttack

The conflict between Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Aaron (Danny Miller) took a significant turn on Thursday, January 25, when a brawl broke out and Cain was rendered unconscious.

Aaron has been at odds with his uncle and pretty much everyone who has seen him in the eye ever since he came home last year.

Although the specific cause of Aaron’s lack of smiles in recent months is unknown, we do know that it has to do with his inability to cope with his sister’s passing and his overall sense of outrage at the world for everything that he has endured.

Cain has discussed the latter point many times with his nephew. After they had previously interacted, during which Cain had told Aaron to mature “just because life isn’t fair,” he paid him another visit tonight and made a sincere effort to connect with him.

Cain questioned Aaron’s true motivations when he stole his vehicle and was interrogated by the police. However, an unyielding Aaron assured his uncle that he “doesn’t answer to him” and sent Cain on his way.

That night in the garage, Cain snapped and started squabbling with Aaron. After many punches and a near-spanner assault by Cain, Aaron struck Cain hard enough to knock him down, ending the altercation.

Aaron went back to his place, leaving Moira (played by Natalie J Robb) in suspense as to Cain’s whereabouts. Neither of them realised that Cain had passed out and was now awakening in the garage.

Although Cain has survived the struggle, there is still more to come as he will be healing in the hospital in the next episodes.

Will he go after Aaron for revenge?
