Emmerdale teen Samson Dingle has another nasty surprise for his cousin Noah tonight (February 27).
Last week, Samson bagged himself £2,000 after encouraging Noah to pay him off in return for staying away from Amelia Spencer and baby Esther.
When Samson and Amelia's daughter was born last October, Samson shocked everyone with his stubborn refusals to have anything to do with her.
More recent episodes saw Samson seemingly have a sudden change of heart. He started taking an interest in Esther's upbringing after hearing that Amelia's boyfriend Noah had been granted a trust fund containing thousands of pounds.

Coming up with a cunning plan to make Noah feel insecure, Samson hinted at taking his place as he tried to get closer to Amelia and Esther.
Noah became so paranoid that he willingly gave up the two-grand when Samson revealed that he wanted money to stay away. He was left disappointed when Samson later hinted that he wouldn't disappear so easily.
In Monday's episode, Samson is in high spirits after enjoying a spending spree with Noah's money.
His joy couldn't be more different to the mood of his family, who are struggling to make ends meet amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. Samson's dad Sam also wishes he could do more to help support Esther.

Samson is having such a good time that he decides to see if he can extort even more money from Noah.
During a tense meeting at the café, Noah begrudgingly agrees to give Samson another £2,000 bribe.
Noah hopes that this will be enough to keep Samson away from Amelia and Esther, but is this nothing more than wishful thinking?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
