The recent episodes of Emmerdale left viewers shocked when Charity Dingle's mental health finally took a toll on her. In a night terror, she ended up attacking Mackenzie Boyd with a knife, leaving him in critical condition and fighting for his life.
This incident was the result of weeks of trauma that Charity had been dealing with in secret. Ever since she accidentally killed Damon 'Harry' Harris on Christmas, she has been haunted by the memory and has been struggling with panic attacks, bouts of fear and rage that she cannot control.
Following the stabbing, Mackenzie is rushed to the hospital and the detectives want to question him about what happened. Despite his injuries, he tries to protect Charity and she is later released and allowed to go home.
In a state of panic, Charity stabbed Mackenzie and her brother, Cain, tries to console her. But Charity pushes him away and insists on being left alone to process what just happened. Her grandchildren, Sarah and Noah, are also worried and rush to her side, despite Cain's suggestion to give her some space.
However, their presence only makes Charity more anxious as she starts to fear that someone is trying to break into her house. Sarah, concerned for her grandmother's safety, kicks the door down but Charity, overwhelmed with fear, forces both Sarah and Noah to leave.
Meanwhile, as Mackenzie eventually returns home, Charity is afraid that she might hurt him again and begs him to leave. It is then up to Cain to reason with her and convince her that she is not a danger to anyone, including himself. He suggests that she should consider seeking professional help, something that Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, has also shared in an interview.
Cain believes that counseling could be beneficial for Charity, just like it was for Kyle, who had also been through a traumatic event. But Charity is in denial and refuses to acknowledge that she needs help. However, with the support of her sister-in-law, Chas, she eventually agrees to make an appointment with a doctor and seek the help she desperately needs.
In the midst of all this, other dramatic events are also unfolding in Emmerdale. Gus Malcolm gets injured in a clash with Marlon Dingle, Moira fears that Cain might have cancer, Aaron receives worrying news, and Tom continues to be cruel towards Belle.
