Eric Pollard was in a tough spot. He had foolishly invested Brenda Walker's life savings into a cryptocurrency venture that ended up failing. Now, he owed her a significant amount of money and had no immediate way of paying her back. He had essentially destroyed their relationship and was now feeling the weight of his actions. He knew he had a responsibility to repay Brenda, but as someone who was practically penniless himself, he was at a loss for how to do it.
The obvious solution was to sell his shop, but even that was proving to be a challenge. No one seemed to be interested in buying it at the price he needed to sell for. Eric couldn't help but feel like he had let Brenda down, and the stress of it all was only making things worse for his health. His friend Kerry Wyatt tried to reassure him that Brenda would understand if he waited for the right time to sell, but Eric couldn't shake off the feeling of failure.
However, Eric was a man who refused to listen to anyone, not even when it came to his own well-being. Kerry pleaded with him to slow down and think things through, but he was too consumed by his own thoughts to listen. In his desperation, he came up with a drastic plan: burning down the shop and collecting the insurance money. Kerry was horrified when she found out and tried to make him see reason, but Eric was convinced it was a victimless crime.
Meanwhile, Kerry was dealing with her own past trauma related to a fire. She had made some bad choices in the past that led to an accident, and the guilt and regret had haunted her ever since. She couldn't bear to see Eric in a similar situation and felt the need to protect him. In a last-ditch effort to make him see the consequences of his actions, she revealed a shocking secret from her past involving a former resident of Emmerdale. Will it be enough to make Eric reconsider, or will it backfire?
