Paddy worries for Bear, and Graham goes public.
It's a horrific time for the Dingle clan in Emmerdale next week, as both Moira (Natalie J Robb) and Cain (Jeff Hordley) are hauled in for questioning over a double murder.
Moira soon finds herself in an impossible situation and is charged, while Cain is receiving some truly heartbreaking news - he has prostate cancer.
Meanwhile, Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) worries that dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) will slip up about Ray Walters's (Joe Absolom) murder during a conversation with DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan).
Elsewhere, as more and more people discover that Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) is alive, Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) resolves that he must make a public appearance.
Here's everything you need to know about the Emmerdale episodes airing between Monday 2nd and Friday 6th February.
4 Emmerdale spoilers for next week
1. Moira Dingle is charged with the murders of Celia Daniels and Anya Berisha
Cain and Moira receive a huge shock when police descend on Butler's Farm and arrest them for murder in front of their children.
While he stays tight-lipped, Moira continues to plead her case, explaining that she was clearly set up by Celia. However, when DS Walsh reveals that Celia is one of the bodies found, she's left speechless.
The evidence is stacked up against her, and Cain is alarmed when Caleb relays the information that one of the bodies was wrapped up in Moira's blanket and covered in her DNA.
DS Walsh has no option but to charge her with both Celia and Anya's murders. The Dingles watch in horror as she's carted off in the back of a police car.
Later that week, Cain visits his wife in prison and is anxious to see her sporting a black eye. Will Moira be ok?
2. Cain Dingle receives a prostate cancer diagnosis
Amid the family drama, Cain nervously awaits his hospital appointment. As viewers will recall, at the conclusion of the Coronation Street crossover, doctors told him that they had found a sizeable mass.
In upcoming scenes, the consultant very sadly confirms that he has an aggressive, yet localised form of prostate cancer.
He's overwhelmed by the diagnosis and the side effects the radical prostatectomy may have, and cuts the consultation short and leaves. Unable to process the news, he clashes with anyone who crosses his path and he's left alone with his inner demons.
At breaking point, he lashes out at Sarah and Liam, before heading to Zak's graveside to try and deal with such a traumatising week.
3. Bear Wolf is questioned about Anya's death
Ruby is guilt-ridden over Anya and lies to Bear that the ribbon he left for Anya worked, and they think that she may have been found. Bear opens up about her final moments, and that Ray attempted to give her some medical attention.
Ruby refuses to accept that he did have a good side and declares that he deserved to have a slow and horrible death. Bear is alarmed by the conversation and breaks down, causing Paddy to shove Ruby out of the door.
When DS Walsh arrives at Tenant House, Paddy and Dylan are concerned that Bear will accidentally spill that he's Ray's murderer. She questions him over Anya, and he reveals that he dug her grave.
Paddy panics and cuts the interview short, pleading with Walsh to be more compassionate with his dad. He's left confused when he learns that Anya's body was wrapped in Moira's blanket.
4. Graham Foster prepares to go public
There's more confusion when Gabby and Lydia stumble across Graham at Home Farm. Joe realises that he can't stay hidden for much longer, as it's only a matter of time before the rumours will begin to spread.
Graham prepares for a public appearance, where everyone can learn that he's still very much alive.
