The tides have surely turned in Emmerdale as Tom King continues to manipulate and control Belle Dingle from his hospital bed. Despite being the victim of her axe attack, Tom wasted no time in asserting his power over Belle by demanding she visit him at exactly 1pm the next day.
Belle, who has become accustomed to obeying Tom's orders during their coercive and controlling marriage, dutifully followed his instructions. However, little did she know that the tables were about to turn in a spectacular way.
As the episode began, the Dingle family was making plans for Belle to flee to Ireland to stay with Mystic Dingle, fearing that Tom would turn her in to the police for attempted murder. However, Belle felt the need to make a stop at the hospital first, alone. Tom made sure she knew who was in charge by pointing out that she arrived with only a minute to spare.
But then, Tom presented Belle with a deal. He wanted her to stop claiming that he was abusive in return for him keeping quiet about her attack on him. Using his manipulative tactics, Tom reminded Belle of her past murder conviction and her struggles with medication and hearing voices. He also brought up the incident where she was seen physically attacking him in public, threatening to use it against her in court.
Desperate to save herself from prison, Belle reluctantly agreed to Tom's terms. He even went as far as asking her to seal the deal with a kiss on the cheek. Revolted, Belle went along with it, but Tom turned his face so their lips met.
Later, Tom kept his end of the deal by telling the police that he remembered being attacked by two men who wanted to rob him. Even Jimmy King, who had previously believed Belle was the attacker, was convinced by Tom's convincing story.
Meanwhile, Belle had made her way to the police station with the axe she used to attack Tom. She bravely explained to the officer that she acted in self-defense and was a victim of domestic abuse. Will this be enough to turn the tides against Tom?
Belle's actions were incredibly brave and marked a turning point for her. Will Tom be able to twist his way out of this situation or will Belle's bravery finally bring an end to his manipulation and control?
