Matty Barton was left heartbroken when he returned to Emmerdale, only to be rejected by mum Moira.
Last week, Matty tried to sneak into his mum's house in a bid to get his birth certificate back.
But he was caught red-handed by Cain and was later forced to reveal his identity as Moira's son, who used to be known as Hannah .
Moira struggled to understand and hit out at her son and infuriated viewers by her reaction to his new identity.
Having already been stung by the experience, Matty isn't willing to lean on his mum when he ends up being brutally attacked.
Next week on Emmerdale, Matty is rushed to hospital after a violent attack.
Moira is shocked when she receives a call telling her that Matty is recovering in hospital after being beaten up.
Despite her rushing to his side, he makes it clear that he doesn't want her there.
Moira voices her concerns that he was attacked because he is transgender, but a defensive Matty insists that that wasn't the reason why.
She stays behind to try and connect with her son and it takes some time before it seems like she is making some headway.
But the next day, Moira is gutted when she visits the next day and finds out that Matty has discharged himself.
Will they ever be able to get close again?
*Emmerdale returns tomorrow at 7pm on ITV
