Cain and Chas Dingle have struck a deal to cover up the reason for Al's death in Emmerdale.

This week has seen Cain arrested on suspicion of killing Al because he shot his rival dead after discovering his secret affair with Chas.

Wednesday's episode opened with Cain on the phone from prison telling Moira that he wasn't going down without a visit.

"You need to prepare the kids for me not being there," he told a heartbroken Moira.

Back at the Dingles', Paddy couldn't figure out why Cain killed Al now after all of the chances he had in the past. Chas sat furious, still having not confessed anything about her affair with Al.

"There is a woman grieving, having to wake up every day without the man she loved," Chas replied back as the Dingles speculated.

Before letting on, Chas snapped out of it and told them: "Poor Kerry must be in bits."

Chas headed off to the prison to visit Cain – this would be their first opportunity to discuss both the shooting and Cain discovering her affair.

"Don't you dare sit there and judge me," Cain demanded.

Chas threw it back in her brother's face that he'd encouraged her to do whatever she needed to get through Faith's death º and what she needed was to be with Al, she claimed.

"I ended it loads of times but then I found out about you and Moira betraying me. This is all on you," Chas shot back.

However, the siblings struck a bargain when Cain mentioned Paddy never needed to find out what Chas had done behind his back with Al.

"If I don't tell Paddy about the affair, then it never goes public, and there's no more tiff to pin on you," Chas laid out to him.

When Chas brought up that Aaron could be a wildcard since he knew about the affair, Cain promised he won't talk. Cain also disposed of the burner phone Chas used and Al's device too.

"Al's gone, I'm talking about now, Chas," he insisted. "There's a reason you didn't tell anyone about your affair because it was shocking, shameful and all that still stands.

"But we bury it. I never breathe another word to anybody and your secret dies with him."

Cain demanded an answer, and finally Chas relented by telling him: "I will do what you want, but I will never forgive you."

Will Cain be able to beat the rap?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, and streams on the ITV Hub.
