Emmerdale<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmerdale has finally confirmed the fate of Mackenzie Boyd<\/a>, and it\u2019s a twist that changes everything.<\/p>\n

Last week, Mack faced the wrath of John<\/a> when he realised that the sinister villain was responsible for Nate\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

But a tense showdown in the woods ended with John shooting Mack with a crossbow, before brutally hitting him with a rock.<\/p>\n

It seemed impossible that Mack could survive this horrific attack, but some viewers were sceptical as to whether he had actually been murdered<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, John has since disappeared with Aaron for a holiday in a remote cottage. But Aaron has begun to get suspicious of his husband, especially when he discovered a strange locked room in the house<\/a> that John was pretty cagey about. <\/p>\n

In today\u2019s episode<\/a>, Aaron told a neighbour that they\u2019d spoken to the owner of the cottage about buying it \u2013 but she revealed that the owner had died over a year ago.<\/p>\n

Realising that his husband had lied to him again<\/a>, Aaron used an opportunity to finally gain access to the locked room when John was out.<\/p>\n

As Aaron investigated, he discovered that this was John\u2019s old bedroom and that they were staying in his childhood home.<\/p>\n

When Aaron confronted him, John explained that his mum died in this house and he hadn\u2019t been ready to talk about this trauma. Aaron believed this story, and he even agreed to move to the cottage with John permanently.<\/p>\n

Back in the village, Charity grew increasingly worried about Mack<\/a>, continuing to send her husband messages and sharing her frustrations with Moira.<\/p>\n

She enjoyed a fun family day with Ross, but when he tried to kiss her, Charity made it clear that Mack would soon be coming back home.<\/p>\n

And Charity might be right \u2013 as we then discovered that Mack is in fact still alive, and that John is currently holding him captive in a creepy underground bunker in the woods.<\/p>\n

While this shock twist confirms that Mack isn\u2019t actually dead, he is still seriously injured and appears to be in a very bad way.<\/p>\n

What will John do next, and will Mack survive this frightening ordeal?<\/p>\n

Emmerdale<\/strong> airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
