Belle Dingle was left feeling utterly shattered and terrified after the brutal attack from Tom King on Thursday's episode of Emmerdale. The recent topic of conversation had been Belle and Tom's plans to start a family, but deep down, Belle wasn't ready for motherhood. However, her husband had been slowly convincing her that it was the right thing to do.
In tonight's episode, Belle's friends Mandy and Lydia stopped by to try and clear the air. The initial tension slowly melted away as the three of them shared a joke about Tom's job at the vet and his questionable smell. But little did they know, Tom was secretly listening in on their conversation through the puppy cam.
As soon as Tom heard the conversation, he rushed home with a fire burning inside him. His only focus was confronting Belle, which meant getting Mandy and Lydia to leave. With them gone, Belle was left alone with her husband who unleashed a barrage of verbal abuse on her. He called her a pushover and tried to justify his actions by saying he felt "triggered" and would never hurt her.
But Belle wasn't going to take it lying down. She reminded Tom of the recent incident where he burned her hand with hot water and pointed out other concerning behaviors. As she realized that Tom had been watching her through the puppy camera, she begged him to seek help. But her pleas fell on deaf ears as Tom lashed out and punched her in the stomach.
Terrified and in pain, Belle ran to the bathroom and locked herself in. But Tom's anger only grew as he banged on the door, threatening to break it down. Meanwhile, outside, Lydia and Sam had arrived with dinner for Belle, but were puzzled when she didn't answer the door.
Inside, Belle was huddled on the floor, crying her eyes out and seeking comfort from Piper the dog. As the evening drew in, her friends grew worried and wondered what could be next for their beloved Belle. Will she be able to escape the clutches of her abusive husband? Only time will tell.
