Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale aired a major turning point in Moira Dingle’s ordeal tonight, as Cain Dingle got some game-changing news. Moira has spent most of this year so far in prison after being falsely blamed for double murder and human trafficking.

But tonight, although things took a turn for the worse for Bear Wolf, they do at least seem to be looking up for Moira.

Tonight’s scenes saw Cain receive a very positive phone call. He then told Robert and Aaron that all charges against Moira were finally being dropped. This means that, at last, she’s on her way home.

Earlier this week, viewers watched a guilt-ridden Robert – who played a huge part in her initial arrest – receiving word that Bear had recalled a time when he removed number plates from Ray Walters’ car after finding it splattered in blood, then giving them to Celia Daniels to hide.

That triggered a chain reaction that ended with a secret lock-up being found; packed with IDs, phones and incriminating paperwork from the evil, now-deceased traffickers.

However, tonight, all of that recovered evidence seemed to backfire on Bear; with DS Walsh theorizing that he was Ray’s partner in crime, not his victim. It was suggested that Bear murdered Ray in order to take control of the whole trafficking operation.

With a distressed Bear lashing out at prison staff, it seems that although Moira is now in clear and things are taking a dark turn for him…

Although it was Ray who killed Celia, viewers know that Bear, who had been enslaved in the trafficking operation, was the one who killed Ray — but only to stop the villain from murdering Paddy and Dylan.

As for Moira, next week’s scenes will see her plan some long-overdue alone time with Cain, who feels pressure to perform sexually after his prostate cancer diagnosis.

“Cain can’t cope with the pressure of sex,” our village source explained. “He and Moira finally have the house to themselves, but for Cain, it feels too much like a set-up.

“He suspects Moira has been talking about him – and storms out.”

Will the couple be able to find their groove again?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
