Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) had backed Ross (Michael Parr) into a corner during tonight’s episode of Emmerdale.
Recently in the soap, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) snuck into Lewis’ house to try and find more weed plants. The plan was to steal and hide them in a barn at Butlers, where Mack and Ross would sell the products and use the cash to pay off the farm fines.
Mackenzie entered the loft at Lewis’ place and, to his shock, found the room had been turned into a cannabis farm. What Mack failed to notice was that Lewis had installed a security camera in the loft, which meant he had got a notification informing him of the break-in.
Lewis locked Mack inside and told Ross that he would be let out once he learns the truth about how his mum died. Previously, Ross stuck to the family’s story of claiming that Adam Barton pushed Emma from the bridge, but Lewis has thought about this ever since and reached the conclusion his brother was hiding something.
Unfortunately, Ross made a mistake by saying ‘she’ instead of ‘he’ which made Lewis work out that it was Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb).
Ross informed Moira of the development tonight which meant she had to leave John (Oliver Farnworth) and Aaron’s (Danny Miller) wedding early.
At Butlers, Moira confirmed that she did k.i.l.l Emma, but also explained to Lewis that his mum goaded her, eventually causing her to snap.
Frustratingly for Moira and Ross, Lewis processed the information in the wrong way. Despite knowing a little bit about the dark life Emma lived, Lewis believed that his mentally unwell mother deserved justice.
Standing up, Lewis announced that he’d be going to the police station to report Moira.
