Cain is nervous as he awaits his appointment and speaks to a patient with prostate cancer. His consultant, Ms. Rhodes, confirms that Cain has aggressive, yet localised, prostate cancer.
Overwhelmed by the diagnosis and the potential side effects of the recommended radical prostatectomy, Cain cuts the consultation short and leaves.
Cain returns to the village in a daze as he struggles to process his diagnosis. His mounting denial and anger cause him to clash with anyone who comes across him and he is keen to be left alone with his inner demons.
Later, Cain sits alone at Zak’s graveside, struggling to cope with his diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Moira makes a call.
The next episode of Emmerdale airs on Friday 6 February.
