In Emmerdale, Billy’s secret side job is set to be revealed next week, leaving him in a difficult position. After moving with Dawn and the kids to Holdgate Farm, the couple has been struggling financially due to their high rent and Billy’s regular job not covering expenses. In an effort to support his family, Billy has been secretly participating in underground boxing matches, hiding the truth from Dawn. Though he claims he’s saving money for emergencies, Dawn grows suspicious after seeing him stash a large sum of cash.

Billy’s situation worsens when, after another boxing match, he sustains an injury and shows up at Mackenzie’s house seeking help. Unable to face Dawn, Billy confides in Mackenzie, who helps him clean up and deal with his wounds. Billy refuses to go to the hospital, fearing police involvement, as he continues to hide the truth from his family. Meanwhile, Dawn, frustrated by Billy’s absence, turns to Gabby for help when Billy fails to pick her up on time to get their son, Evan, from the hospital.

The emotional strain intensifies as Billy faces the dilemma of whether to finally come clean about his secret fights, putting his life and family at risk. With his injuries worsening and the danger growing, Billy must decide whether he can continue this double life or if the truth will shatter his relationship with Dawn.
