The episode concluded with the villagers counting down to the New Year at the pub, interspersed with tense scenes from next year.

"Here's to the future, whatever that may be," said Moira, before the first of the five flashforwards showed Mackenzie Boyd frantically running through a forest. Is he being chased, or is he chasing someone else?

The second flashforward teased a deadly fate for Caleb Miligan, who was shown in a hospital bed with his monitor flatlining.
The third featured Cain Dingle mourning at a grave - but whose? After undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumour, Cain's wife Moira was told that her treatment should continue as she now needs radiotherapy. Could her health take a turn for the worse?
Despite their turbulent relationship, it's also possible that Cain is mourning his half-brother Caleb, whose fate we now know is left hanging in the balance.

The fourth flashforward featured a wrapped-up body being disposed of in the river, with no clues as to whose body it is or who is disposing of it.
The fifth and final flashforward featured an unknown figure trapped beneath ice, desperately banging for help.
Before the flashforward was shown, the camera focused on Joe Tate and Dawn Fletcher half-heartedly raising their glasses to 2025. Could either of them be the unfortunate victim?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
