Emmerdale’s Ruby Fox-Miligan held at gunpoint by a hallucinating Moira Dingle in explosive scenes
Moira causes a deadly fire at the barn with Ruby, but can they escape?
EMMERDALE’S Moira Dingle held Ruby Fox-Miligan at gunpoint after seeing her old nemesis Emma Barton.
Cain was taken aback and reeling to hear about Moira’s ‘kiss’ with Nate from Caleb in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale.
When Moira played down the moment, his incredulity only made her angry that Cain would believe such as thing and she denied kissing him.
Nate was a rabbit in the headlights when Cain turned up looking for an explanation and battered him.
When furious Cain returned, Moira was dismayed to realise he’s beaten-up Nate.
As he raged about her indiscretion, a flicker of deja vu began to intrude Moira’s thoughts.
Shocked and stressed, Moira slapped Cain after he called her “slag” and then said “we’re done.”
Arriving in the barn to gloat, Ruby became slightly sorry for Moira when she’s unresponsive to her jibes.
As stressed Moira spilled tractor fuel in the barn, Ruby’s voice began to blur with her old nemesis Emma Barton’s and an unrecognisable Moira raised her shotgun at a freaked out Ruby.
Soon padlocking the barn, a stressed Moira continued to see Emma instead of Ruby.
She fired a warning shot into the air, frightening Ruby.
The shot hit a light bulb, which caused a spark to take hold.
A tussle for the shotgun ended with Moira dazing Ruby with a blow to the head.
Hazy and shaken, Moira comes out of her daze and is soon confused to see Ruby lying on the floor unresponsive.
The spark caught the tractor fuel and quickly became a blaze as Moira froze, helpless next to Ruby’s body.
Can they escape before the fire spreads?
