As Cain and Charity Dingle set out to find Belle, they stumble upon a terrifying scene at a cottage in Wales. It's clear something has happened to Belle, but what, exactly? Charity, realizing that no one else will believe her suspicions, turns to Cain for support. She's been triggered by Belle's behavior, which reminds her of her own past experiences with an abusive partner.
Without support from the other Dingle women, Charity relies on Cain to help her uncover the truth. At first, Cain isn't too concerned about Belle's new relationship with Tom. He sees Tom as a successful and charming guy, completely unaware of the hidden danger lurking beneath the surface. But with Charity's persistence, he begins to have his doubts.
When they don't hear from Belle, Cain and Charity break into her and Tom's cottage. They discover surveillance equipment and Belle's abandoned phone, confirming their fears. As they race to Wales, Cain still needs convincing that Belle is truly in danger. He can't help but wonder if they'll show up and find everything is fine.
But when they arrive at the cottage, their fears are confirmed. The place is trashed, with blood smeared on the walls. The scenes were filmed at a real property called Burden Head Farm, which was recently rebuilt. Long-time viewers may recognize it as the former location of Jack Sugden's farm.
Producer Sophie Roper explains that Tom's behavior is typical of a coercive and controlling relationship, making it difficult and uncomfortable to watch. The team behind the show received help from the charity Refuge while researching this storyline.
As they investigate further, Cain and Charity realize that the cottage is not as far away as they thought. In fact, it's just a short distance from the main village. Head of design Gillian Slight explains that they had complete control over the property, allowing them to decorate and furnish it to their liking.
Belle's moment of clarity comes when she overhears Tom making arrangements to stay at the cottage for longer. She realizes that she's in grave danger and must act quickly. What follows is a week of terror for Belle, as she goes from a happy vacation to her worst nightmare.
And just when it seems like things couldn't get any worse, the truth behind what happened at the cottage is finally revealed. Belle and Tom are nowhere to be found, leaving Cain and Charity to wonder if Tom's anger has led to Belle's death.
As the storyline unfolds, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next.
