After enduring yet another violent encounter with her abusive husband Tom, Belle has finally made the difficult decision to leave Emmerdale village. This comes just a few weeks after a terrifying holiday where Tom attacked her and locked her inside a cottage in Wales. Fortunately, she managed to escape and return to Wishing Well.
But Tom was not done trying to control and manipulate Belle. In an attempt to villainize her, he spread lies to their friends Charity and Cain, claiming that she had lied about having a miscarriage and had actually had an abortion. He even went as far as to express concerns about her mental health after she stopped taking her medication. Sadly, the Dingle clan believed his lies.
Belle's friend Vinny urged her to be honest with him about Tom's behavior, and she admitted to being subjected to verbal insults, but she couldn't bring herself to reveal the full extent of the physical and psychological abuse she had endured.
Meanwhile, Charity and Cain were the first to arrive at the holiday cottage in Wales, where they found Belle in a state of distress. Later, a heated argument erupted between Vinny and Tom at the pub, and in the heat of the moment, the truth about Belle's abortion was revealed to everyone present. This only made Belle more hesitant to confide in Vinny.
Tom continued to twist the knife, telling Belle's uncle Jimmy and his wife Nicola that their marriage was over because she had moved on with Vinny. The Kings, unaware of Tom's true nature, allowed him to stay with them.
This gave Belle the opportunity to move back into Dale Head, but Tom made sure to let her know that he had changed the locks, conveniently leaving out the fact that he had kept a spare key for himself. As Belle settled back into her cottage, she began to research the signs of an abusive relationship. She also started taking down the CCTV cameras that Tom had installed after staging a break-in, unaware that he was watching her from a distance.
Tom made it clear to Belle that even though he had moved out, he had no intention of leaving the village and would always be around. This only added to Belle's fear and anxiety. Later, when Charity came by and found Belle dismantling the motion detectors in her living room, she suggested that Belle take a break and visit her dad Zak and niece Debbie in Scotland.
At first, Belle was hesitant, but she eventually agreed, seeing it as an opportunity to get away from the overbearing Dingles. As they packed up the car and prepared to leave, Tom showed up and demanded to know where Belle was going. He even had the audacity to say he would have driven her, but Belle reminded him that he had sold her car.
Now, the question remains: what will Tom's next move be? As Belle prepares to leave for Scotland, will Tom find a way to continue controlling and manipulating her from a distance? Only time will tell.
