Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Barton family will be the victims of a shocking attack as Ross continues to bring trouble to their doorstep.
Next month, Ross is concerned by the reappearance of bad boy Marcus, who was central to the job that got him injured last month.
Wanting payback after the planned crime went wrong, Marcus and his men head to Butler's farm, beat up Adam (Adam Thomas) and lock Moira (Natalie J Robb) in a van as they cause carnage.
Marcus and his gang of men head to Butlers Farm.
The thugs trash the house as well as stealing and destroying vital equipment for the farm's day-to-day running.
Later, Cain and Ross arrive back to sheer devastation. Realising he is to blame, how will Ross react? And will this be another obstacle for Cain and Moira's relationship?

Moira Barton is left fearing her son Adam has been killed when a gang of thugs storm the farm and destroy it. Gangster Marcus comes looking for Ross Barton, hell bent on revenge for a deal they worked on. Screaming Moira gets locked in the back of a van while Marcus' cronies give Adam a savage beating. And with him out of the way they set about destroying the farm, damaging equipment and setting fire to the barn.
A show insider said: 'Moira can hear them beating Adam up and she's scared stiff they're killing him She's trapped inside the van and has no idea about the devastation they're causing but all she can think about is her son.'

Emmerdale couple Alicia Harding and David Metcalfe look set to take centre stage in the soap's Christmas episodes as they book their wedding for December 25.
The loved-up pair set the date for their ceremony in next week's episodes, wanting to make a commitment to each other sooner rather than later.
Although Alicia (Natalie Anderson) and David (Matthew Wolfenden) are thrilled to have a joyful Christmas season ahead, they're well aware that their decision could prove controversial.
With pregnant Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade) still heartbroken after losing David, it's unclear how she may take the news so soon after her own wedding plans were left in tatters.
Viewers will see David propose to Alicia later this week due to a misunderstanding involving Jacob.
Although neither David nor Alicia had planned it, they soon decide to go ahead with tying the knot.

In an attempt to win Charity back, Jai buys her a flashy new car, but while she may seem temporarily impressed, her smile fades to rage.
Later, Charity asks Cain to sell the car for her, offering to split the profits in a bid to keep him quiet about her drunken come-on. When Charity tells Jai that she has given the car to Cain, he does not quite react as she might have expected.
Meanwhile, Laurel faces her court appearance with dread, keen to get the whole thing over and done with. She is upset at the injustice when she is told to pay Ross's fees after he is portrayed as the helpless victim. When they return to the village, Laurel encourages Marlon to go for drinks with Paddy and Rhona, but all fail to notice a hiding Ross. Later, Laurel is shocked when a dishevelled Ross darts in to Tall Trees demanding his money.

Emmerdale newcomers Anthony Quinlan and Joe Gill will make their debut on screen next week as the newest members of the Barton family.
Moira will pay a visit to James's farm, where he lives with his other two sons Pete (Quinlan) and Finn (Gill). Fans have already been introduced to their brother Ross (Michael Parr).
However, when Moira arrives at the farm, she is shocked to find it in a complete state of disrepair and feels inclined to help.
Natalie J Robb, who plays Moira, said: "With the recession and because James has given so much time looking for Ross, he's let his farm go downhill.
"James's son Pete is trying to run it himself singlehandedly and it just doesn't work - it's a full-on job to be a cattle farmer. That's what he used to be known for. So he's still got his cattle, but that's it really - it's not really doing anything. Nobody's really interested.
"It's a total shock to Moira. She just thinks, 'God, he's in a worse state than I am', and she ends up offering him help."
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Friday, December 6 at 7pm on ITV.
