In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, airing on ITV on October 18, viewers can expect a poignant exploration of the Dingle family as they confront their past, present, and future while grappling with the absence of Zak. Belle and Sam use the occasion of their father’s funeral to address long-buried issues, compelling Cain to confront Moira’s health struggles. After some coaxing and a few drinks from Zak’s hidden malt whisky stash, Cain discloses that Moira cancelled an important appointment to attend the funeral, fearing he wouldn’t be able to cope with the potential loss of her.
The episode also touches on Cain’s newfound role as the ‘head of the family,’ a title bestowed by Zak that he feels unprepared for. Later, overwhelmed by regret, Cain expresses his frustration over not delivering a heartfelt speech at the funeral and shares the words he had prepared with Belle and Sam, deepening the emotional resonance of this reflective episode.
