Emmerdale’s Mackenzie Boyd appeared to meet a brutal end at the end of the latest episode that saw him chased down by an axe-wielding John Sugden on the side of the road
Mack Boyd could be dead after a chilling twist at the end of the latest episode.
Mack made a desperate attempt to escape after being held captive and chained up for days by killer John Sugden. It was previously feared Charity’s love had been brutally bludgeoned to death by John in the woods, but it turns out he was still alive and being held in a disused bomb shelter.
It looked like Mack had managed to break free on Thursday night (September 4), but things took a horrifying turn. John had set up cameras realised Mack was out of the bunker as he was drugging husband Aaron, who had appeared to suffer a seizure.
John set off to stop Mack escaping, only for a Aaron to stagger out into the woods. Mack began calling out to Aaron after realising what was going on. He begged John to save Aaron, insisting he needed help.
But John hit Mack over the head with a rock to stop him fleeing the woods. Despite this, Mack managed to get up, and we saw him staggering towards a road at the end of the episode.
With a broken ankle and other injuries, Mack had stumbled through the fields and made it onto the road. He smiled in relief, believing he was finally free. But as he fell to the floor, his hopes of being rescued soon faded.
When a vehicle pulled over, Mack begged the driver to help Aaron, but in a horrifying twist, the driver was revealed to be John. He’d managed to catch up with Mack and this time, it seemed as if he wanted to finish off Mack for good..
John emerged from the vehicle wielding an exe as Mackenzie laid on the floor helpless. His eyes widened with terror when he saw John walking towards him with the weapon in hand. John claimed “he’d helped Aaron like he said he would” before moving in on his victim.
Mackenzie looked up terrified at what could be his final moments, and the screen faded to black. It could be that John has finally managed to kill Mack in grisly fashion, following reports that Mack is leaving the soap.
Or maybe Mack can survive John once again. And perhaps Aaron will somehow find out that John knows more about Mack’s disappearance than he’s let on and get help for the both of them.
