In the latest episode of Emmerdale, viewers were shocked as Tom King stooped to a new low by attacking his own wife's beloved dog, Piper. Belle Dingle had just returned to the village after some time away, and Tom wasted no time bombarding her with messages, eager to have her back under his watchful eye. But Belle's friend Lydia encouraged her to attend Sam's birthday celebration at The Woolie, where Tom was also present and eager to talk to her.
Despite Belle standing her ground and asking Tom not to attend her family's gathering, he became furious and grabbed her wrist, threatening her. However, this only seemed to fuel Belle's confidence and she exploded, demanding that he leave immediately. Tom was embarrassed when the rest of the Dingle clan overheard their argument and he left, but it was clear that he was not done causing trouble in Belle's life.
In his latest scheme, Tom was furious when Belle refused to accept the new car he had bought for her. In a fit of rage, he smashed the GPS tracker and drove to Wishing Well Cottage, where he spotted Piper innocently playing. In a shocking turn of events, he drove the car towards her, endangering the poor dog's life.
At the end of the episode, Tom pretended to have found Piper injured on the road and rushed her to the vet, promising to do everything he could to help her. Fans were left worried for Piper's wellbeing, but unfortunately, things were not looking good for the beloved pet.
In the upcoming episode, Belle confronts Tom and asks him if he had a hand in what happened to Piper. The preview clip shows the former couple walking down Main Street, discussing their loss. Tom once again puts on an act of being concerned for Belle's mental health and suggests moving back in with her. But in a sudden moment of clarity, Belle realizes that Tom was the one who ran over Piper.
"It was you!" she exclaims. "You've killed her!" Tom is left stunned, as he didn't expect Belle to figure out his involvement in the incident. The question now is, will she be able to prove it? And will poor Piper get the justice she deserves?
