In the dramatic episode of Emmerdale on Tuesday, August 6, Samson Dingle was

sentenced to four years in prison for attacking his former friend, Josh Cop. The

identity of the informant who tipped off the police sparked intense speculation, with

Cain Dingle suspecting Moira Barton might be responsible, seeking revenge for Samson framing Maddie for the stabbing at the Hide.

Lydia arrived at the Woolpack to announce Samson’s prison sentence, and tensions soared as she accused Moira of being the informant. Moira denied the allegations, insisting she had no part in it. Cain defended Moira, asserting his trust in her and advising Lydia to look elsewhere for the culprit.

The episode highlighted the deepening rift within the Dingle family. Sam Dingle took an emotional trip to the prison with his son Samson, where a tearful farewell ensued as they expressed their love. Sam was visibly distressed as Samson was led away to serve his sentence.

Meanwhile, Amelia Spencer worried about the impact of Samson’s imprisonment on her baby, Esther, especially since her own father, Dan Spencer, is already incarcerated. Amelia’s concerns were heightened when she discovered that the last call made on her boyfriend Noah’s phone was to the police. Confronted with this revelation, Amelia realized Noah was involved in reporting Samson. Noah defended his actions, arguing that Samson could have been lethal to Josh if he hadn’t stepped in. Furious, Amelia ordered Noah to leave, ending the episode on a tense note.
