Lachlan White looks like he could be about to take his fourth victim next week when he tracks down conman Fake Uncle Terry.
Doug Potts tells murderous Lachlan that ‘Terry’ is known to the police for conning mourners at funerals and the teen has revenge in mind after getting another sinister text.
He tells Belle that he’s off for a meeting but he secretly heads off to a funeral where he spots Terry trying his luck again.
When the conman separates from the rest of the mourners, Lachlan sets off after him, with murderous intent.
Is he planning on killing Terry for ripping off Doug and robbing the B&B? Or is he more bothered about the fact that the fake uncle knows his killer secret?
Seeing Terry – who arrived in the Dales after Gerry Roberts was murdered by Lachlan claiming to be Gerry’s long lost uncle – might be a bit of a shock to some Emmerdale fans who were already convinced that the baby-faced assassin had already bumped him off.
Terry found Gerry’s comic of Lachlan murdering mum Chrissie and grandfather Lawrence and realised what it meant.
So after he fled the funeral service in order to do a runner from the village without anyone realising, Lachlan followed him.
Attacking him in the B&B, Lachlan punched Terry to the ground forcing him to play his trump card.
“What are you going to do, finish me?” Terry told him.
“Did your family ask to be killed?”
As the realisation set in for Lachlan, Terry forced him to let him go, or at least let him think he was letting him go.
Terry added: “What I’ve done, what I’ve got in here will get me 18 months.
“I hid that comic in the middle of nowhere where it will quite happily rot away unless you give me a reason to dig it up.”
But after telling Lachlan how the evidence will remain hidden unless he gets it, viewers became convinced that Terry sealed his own fate and that Lachlan has killed him.
