In the recent episode of Emmerdale, there was about to be a significant event for Nate Robinson (played by Jurell Carter), as his family and friends prepared for his farewell.

Instead of having a funeral that was off-limits to Cain Dingle and his entire family, as suggested by widow Tracy, the Dingles chose to hold their own memorial service at the Woolpack, inviting themselves.

In the midst of my suspicions towards both Cain and Tracy about Nate’s murder, I find myself unaware that our latest family member, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), was actually the one who inadvertently took Nate’s life and secretly dumped his body into the lake.

Medic John felt a bit on edge as Aaron Dingle, Nate’s cousin and played by Danny Miller, inquired if he could have a chat with Tracy about possibly removing the restriction she was under.

When he agreed with some hesitation, Tracy declined, but she informed John that it was perfectly fine for him to attend the service on his own.

Later, Tracy was stunned to receive a letter telling her she was entitled to Nate’s life insurance.

While at Nate’s memorial, Cain found himself consuming alcohol frequently, yet he had a hard time celebrating the life of his son instead.

As a passionate cinephile, I wholeheartedly empathized with Caleb Miligan (William Ash), and it was apparent that Cain relaxed a bit more when Sam Dingle (James Hooton) inadvertently splashed his drink on Cain during an enthusiastic tale about Nate. The spill seemed to break the ice, allowing for a moment of camaraderie between them.

At that particular instant, it turned out to be an unfortunate timing for Cara (Carryl Thomas), as she mistakenly thought we were mocking Nate’s death by our laughter.

As a cinephile, I couldn’t help but express my outrage when I noticed Cain reeking of alcohol and the violent manner he treated Nate on what turned out to be his final day.

Later, she publicly reproached Moira (Natalie J Robb) for her previous relationship with Nate, and likewise scolded Caleb for causing the dissolution of his own marriage.

At Tracy’s, Sam arrived to explain to Cara that it was his fault Cain reeked of alcohol.

However, upon learning that Tracy would receive money from Nate’s insurance policy, Sam viewed it as further evidence of Tracy’s suspected wrongdoing. Consequently, he hastened back to the pub to inform Cain about this development.

In the role of a movie critic, I find myself simmering with anticipation as I share this revelation: The next day, I will pay my respects at Nate’s funeral, an event over which Tracy holds no power to alter, as I, Cain, have decided.

With a police presence outside the church unsettling Tracy, and suspect John taking on the task of delivering the eulogy, what can we expect at Nate’s funeral ceremony?
