As Emmerdale barrels toward one of its most chilling chapters yet, the discovery of Nate Robinson’s body has left the village rattled—and one familiar face might be next in the firing line. Tracy Robinson, already reeling from the devastating news, now finds herself at the center of a dark and deadly mystery. And with Jon Sugden lurking in the shadows, fans are asking a terrifying question: Is Tracy about to become collateral damage in Jon’s ruthless cover-up?

The ripple effect of Nate’s murder has been swift and merciless. For Cain Dingle, the grief is suffocating. As the reality sinks in that his son is gone, he’s forced to relive the final moments they shared—ones laced with anger and violence. Cain confessed to the police that he had physically attacked Nate shortly before he vanished, hoping to be honest, even if it painted him in the worst possible light. But Tracy, determined to do what she believed was right, wasted no time confirming Cain’s confession to the authorities. That moment of truth would change everything.

Almost immediately, Cain found himself in the hot seat, emerging as the prime suspect in his son’s disappearance and now, in his murder. While Cain wrestled with guilt and fear, Tracy began to question whether the man she once trusted might be capable of something far more sinister. Could Cain, blinded by rage, have actually gone too far?

But as suspicion swirls around Cain, the real killer remains out there—undetected, calculating, and growing more desperate by the hour. Enter Jon Sugden, who, until now, has been off the grid, enjoying a romantic honeymoon with Aaron Dingle. But Jon’s silence is no accident. Fans are increasingly convinced that Jon has far more to hide than he’s letting on, and the theory gaining traction online is as shocking as it is disturbing: Jon killed Nate. And Tracy may be next.

Social media has erupted with speculation. One fan on Reddit theorized: “Jon kills Tracy. Frankie goes to Cain and Moira.” Another on X (formerly Twitter) was more blunt, suggesting, “Tracy is the most pointless character now. Hope Jon kills her next.” While brutal, these fan theories tap into a chilling possibility: if Jon is indeed the killer, and he believes Tracy could expose him—intentionally or not—she might become his next target.

The danger escalates in next week’s spoilers as Jon, determined to protect himself and deflect suspicion from Cain (now a member of his extended family through marriage), sets a chilling plan into motion. Knowing Tracy’s proximity to the truth—and her role in casting suspicion on Cain—Jon manipulates the narrative to paint her as suspicious. Soon, the police arrive at Tracy’s doorstep with a warrant in hand.

Tracy, stunned but defiant, insists there’s nothing to find. But what they discover shakes her to her core: Nate’s phone, buried in little Frankie’s playhouse. The horrifying implication is undeniable—someone planted it there to frame her. As Tracy is led away by police, her confidence begins to crumble. She grows even more panicked when investigators reveal there’s no record of the removal man who supposedly helped clear out Nate’s things. Every detail of her story is unraveling, and fast.

With her back against the wall, Tracy offers up her alibi: she was with Vanessa the night Nate disappeared. But even that might not be enough to save her. The burning question remains—will Vanessa support her story, or will she distance herself to avoid becoming tangled in the escalating drama?

Meanwhile, Cain, still unaware of Jon’s schemes, is wracked with self-blame. His tough exterior is cracking as he contemplates the horrifying possibility that his anger may have pushed his son into the hands of a killer—or worse, that he could have prevented it all. Moira stands by his side, but even her steadying presence isn’t enough to ease his spiraling emotions.

Elsewhere, Aaron could return from his honeymoon to find that the man he married may be hiding a monstrous secret. If Jon’s guilt becomes impossible to ignore, how will Aaron react? Will he stand by his husband, or will the truth destroy them both?

For Tracy, time is running out. She’s caught in a web of lies, suspicion, and betrayal. If she’s not cleared soon, she could not only lose her freedom—but her life. Jon, cunning and dangerous, is watching from the wings, ready to eliminate any loose end that threatens to unravel his secret. And Tracy, heartbreakingly, may not realize she’s in the line of fire until it’s too late.

As the village holds its breath, Emmerdale fans are left to wonder—will justice be served, or will another innocent life be claimed in Jon Sugden’s deadly quest for self-preservation? One thing’s for certain: nothing in this idyllic village will ever be the same again. And with danger closing in from every side, Tracy’s fate may already be sealed.

Stay tuned. The storm is far from over.
