Tom's plan seemed to be going smoothly, but it was overshadowed by the emotional turmoil that Belle Dingle was going through. As she woke up on the fifth anniversary of her mother Lisa's passing, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. Belle had taken the day off work, hoping to spend some time cherishing the memories of her beloved mother. However, her abusive husband, Tom King, had other plans in mind.
He insisted that Belle stay inside and wait for a parcel while he went off for his performance review at the vets. Even when Belle's cousin Lydia Dingle stopped by with an invitation for a picnic, Belle declined, prioritizing Tom's demands. Despite Lydia's understanding and offer to wait for the parcel, Belle didn't want to risk it. She longed to be with her family, and as soon as the clock struck 1:13, she couldn't wait any longer and set off with her dog, Piper.
Meanwhile, Tom's performance review at the vets didn't go as well as he hoped, and he met up with Belle at The Hide. She tried to bring up the fact that it was the anniversary of her mother's death, hoping for some comfort or understanding from her husband. However, Tom was only interested in the fact that she had missed the delivery. This further added to Belle's emotional distress.
In a fit of anger and frustration, Belle pushed Tom to the ground, and the commotion was seen by her family members Marlon Dingle, Vanessa Woodfield, and Rhona Goskirk. They rushed over to separate Belle from Tom and took her back to Dale Head, where she broke down in tears. She felt like she couldn't do anything right and carried the weight of guilt on her shoulders.
Meanwhile, at the pub, Liam Cavanagh approached Tom, wanting to discuss Belle's behavior. Tom took advantage of the situation and painted Belle as someone with anger issues, even though he was the one who had been abusing her. This only strengthened his false narrative and made it seem like he was the one who needed help, not Belle.
Later on, when Tom returned home, he announced in front of Belle, Sam, and Lydia that he had started seeking help for his issues with Liam and wanted Belle to do the same. With no choice but to agree, Belle naively said yes. But little did she know, Tom was the one who needed help, not her.
