The truth had finally been revealed to Emmerdale's Charity Dingle. She was certain that Tom King was up to no good and she was determined to bring him down in order to protect Belle. However, her mission was not an easy one, especially with the rest of the Dingle women against her. But she knew that she could count on one person for help - Cain.
At first, Cain had no idea that Belle was in any kind of danger. But Charity had noticed some familiar signs, having gone through a similar situation with Bails in the past. "She sees that Belle has suddenly become a shadow of her former self," actress Emma shared with The Agency. Charity was convinced that Belle needed her help and when she found out that Tom had taken Belle on a job interview in Wales without informing the family, she knew that something was not right.
Determined to take action, Charity turned to Cain for assistance. At first, he wasn't too concerned and didn't understand Charity's worries. Actor Jeff Hordley explained, "It's only Charity that alerts him [Cain] to this and slowly but surely there are a few little pointers." Bit by bit, Charity helped Cain see the truth.
As they both tried to contact Belle but failed, Cain's suspicions were raised. Charity's anxiety continued to increase when she learned that Belle had been missing her mental health appointments. Together, Charity and Cain decided to take extreme measures and broke into Tom and Belle's cottage.
Once inside, they found several red flags, such as cameras and security systems, which made them even more suspicious. To make matters worse, they discovered that Belle's phone had been left behind. After searching through Tom's belongings, they found a book with the address of the cottage. With no other option, they headed to Wales in search of Belle, although Cain was still unsure about their findings.
Even as they drove to the cottage, Cain remained hesitant, unsure of what they would find. Jeff explained, "Even when Cain's driving there he's still like, 'I'm still not 100% sure whether we're going to turn up here and they're going to be really happy and like, what are you doing here?'" But when they arrived, their worst fears were confirmed. The cottage was destroyed, with blood smeared all over the walls, and there was no sign of the young couple.
A flashback revealed the events leading up to this horrifying scene. Tom and Belle had arrived at the cottage seemingly in love and happy. But as time passed, Tom's true intentions were revealed and he began manipulating Belle. Cut off from the outside world without her phone, Belle found herself in a dangerous situation.
But the biggest question remained - whose blood was on the walls? While it was easy to assume it was Belle's, there was a possibility that it could be the result of self-defense. Emma hinted that things may not be as they seem, saying, "I think we immediately fear for her safety, because why wouldn't we? We know that she's gone away and she's missing and there's no one in the house when we get there, we see blood. We immediately assume Belle is in real trouble." So, whose blood was really smeared all over the cottage?
