Blackmailed over Anthony's (Nicholas Day) body, Caleb Miligan (William Ash) was forced to help John flee from justice over his many crimes.
A stand-off led to John trying to go on the attack, but Cain was one step ahead as he prepared to fire the weapon.
As Cain fell, he accidentally pulled the trigger, but although Cain was unconscious, no one else was harmed.
Caleb had no choice but to continue with John's plan so he could protect wife Ruby (Beth Cordingly) from doing time for killing her abusive father.
Mack urged Aaron to get in touch with his ex-husband and soulmate Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), cheekily adding that he missed Aaron's "cute little smile" when he was happy.
Robert himself insisted to Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) that he would stay away as Aaron had asked.
Deleting his incriminating email in front of Caleb, John was dropped off at a service station in Rotterdam, having asked Caleb to tell Aaron he loved him and Cain that he was sorry over Nate.
Now, with John seeming to have escaped, is this really the end of his story?
Has John Sugden gone for good in Emmerdale?
But with no definitive answer on whether the character has made a permanent exit, surely this isn't how his story ends?
As gripping and satisfying as it was to see John receive the Cain treatment, it doesn't feel right for the villain to ultimately get his own way, and we have some thoughts on how John could be taken down for good...
How will John Sugden get his comeuppance?
Whether Cain chooses to end John's life or find another way to stop him getting away with his actions, there are several options to ensure John is made to pay.
No one wants to see Ruby jailed for the crime, and aside from seeing John go down for his actual evil deeds, framing him for Anthony could be the icing on the cake for those involved in that cover up, who have also suffered at John's hands.
Speaking of said leak, Mack was blamed for the incident and has been through a harrowing underground ordeal thanks to John; while Victoria's (Isabel Hodgins) young son Harry (Adam Pryor) nearly died due to drinking the contaminated water.
Then there's Robert, who has been repeatedly targeted by his half-brother and deserves his chance to confront John one last time.
One way or another, we're expecting an almighty pay off before John Sugden's reign of terror is well and truly over.
