4 Emmerdale spoilers next week: Bear Wolf secret exposed as Joe Tate deals an ultimatum

Next week on Emmerdale, several secrets will be revealed, starting with the truth about Ray Walters’ death: Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) accidentally killed him.

Dylan Penders reveals the truth to April Windsor, who then encourages Paddy Dingle to seek help from a professional for his father.

But will chatting to a counsellor blow their cover?

Okay, so things are really heating up for Victoria Sugden. She finds out her brother Robert’s been up to no good with Joe Tate, and it’s a messy situation. Cornered and desperate, she tries to convince Moira Dingle to sell her part of the farm – Butler’s – which feels like a pretty big move and definitely sets the stage for some drama. I’m really curious to see how Moira will react!

Cain Dingle receives news about his prostate cancer, and Tracy Robinson comes up with a scheme involving John Sugden’s ashes.

Here’s a rundown of what’s happening on Emmerdale from Monday, February 9th, to Friday, February 13th.

4 Emmerdale spoilers for next week

1. Paddy Dingle realises Bear Wolf needs help

Next week, the truth about who knows what happened to Ray comes out. Dylan will tell April he witnessed Ray’s murder and explain everything that occurred. He’ll reveal it was an accident, and that Paddy was in danger at the time.

Paddy was outraged when he found out what Dylan had done, and Bear became increasingly distressed as things escalated. April suggested going to the police, but the others quickly dismissed the idea, worried it would implicate them all in something bigger.

Now that the murder is widely reported, Paddy worries that seeking counseling for his father might attract unwanted attention.

Bear later discovers April is upset and learns she’s worried about facing legal consequences for things she did in the past. He then confides in her about his remorse over killing Ray, and she comforts him, letting him know everyone is there for him.

But when April portrays Ray negatively, he becomes upset and shows inner turmoil. Paddy intervenes and begins to understand his father might require professional help. He promises April he’ll arrange counseling, even though it could be challenging.

When Bear arrives at the consultation, he suffers from immense guilt.

Things are really tough right now. I just heard that Dylan’s feeling terrible – he actually told Paddy he thinks he’s brought bad luck on all of us and that he needs to leave. And April is really taking the blame for selling drugs, she’s determined she deserves to be punished.

2. Joe Tate deals an ultimatum to Victoria Sugden

Vic learns that John’s death has been officially determined to be a suicide, but she’s still deeply upset. She’s reluctant to sell her part of Butler’s Farm to Joe and is thinking about confiding in Cain about everything that’s happening.

Honestly, I was floored when Joe started really twisting the knife with Robert. He basically told him to hurry up and sell the property, threatening to plant evidence on Moira himself if Robert didn’t play along. And watching Vic overhear all this? It was heartbreaking. She just couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that her own brother would stoop so low and betray someone like that. It was a truly shocking moment.

She figures out Joe used the video of her murdering John to blackmail her, and Robert points out he isn’t obligated to keep her safe.

Desperate to protect Moira from going to prison for a crime she didn’t commit, Victoria decides to turn herself in to the police. Joe pressures her to sign some contracts right away, and when she asks to review them first, he threatens to release a damaging video if she doesn’t comply.

The following day, he delivered a terrible threat: she had just six hours to convince Moira to transfer her ownership of the farm, or he would send the video to the authorities.

I was completely hooked by this scene! Victoria heads to the prison to tell Moira she’s decided to sell the business, explaining she just can’t handle it all anymore. Moira was hesitant at first, understandably, but she started to see Victoria’s point… until she found out who wanted to buy it – the Tates! You could feel the tension instantly. It’s a classic setup, and I’m already wondering how this will play out.

3. Robert Sugden spirals as John’s ashes are delivered

Robert and Aaron don’t know what to do with John’s body, but Tracy has a plan. She believes she should take custody of his remains to get revenge for Nate, and she goes to the pub with Robert to discuss it.

Victoria was stunned to discover the ashes were gone, and quickly found her brother and Tracy trying to flush them down a toilet at The Woolpack.

Will they go through with the act?

Aaron soon discovers Robert crying in Annie’s Field. He’s devastated, feeling ashamed that Joe’s actions have ruined his family’s reputation.

Wanting to cheer up his fiancé, Aaron gave him a piece of the original sign from Emmerdale Farm. This gift renewed his hope of reclaiming the farm and reconnecting with his family.

4. Cain Dingle faces the prospect of battling cancer alone

Cain realizes Bear is the only one who can help Moira, so he attempts to drag him to the police station to give a statement. Dylan steps in to prevent Cain from using force against Bear, who is clearly distressed and fragile.

Now that Moira’s story is all over the news, Cain is more motivated than ever to prove her innocence.

Sarah grew worried about her grandfather’s health and went with him to a doctor’s appointment. The doctor explained he needed a major surgery to remove his prostate, and he realized he would have to face cancer without his wife, Moira, by his side.

After scrunching up a hospital leaflet, he wonders if he’ll be strong enough.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1. Stream on ITVX.
