Tom King winced as he realized that his past was about to resurface, haunting him once again. The culprit? DS Foy's relentless investigation into Tom's actions in Emmerdale. It seemed that Tom's time was finally running out, as the police had uncovered the smoking gun that would prove his guilt. They had found the missing tablet that Tom had desperately tried to destroy weeks ago.
As viewers know, the electronic device had been in the possession of Tom's cousin, Carl Holliday, who had borrowed it to play games. Tom, afraid of the police seizing all his devices, had terrorized Carl into handing it over and then destroyed it in the garden. He hoped that by destroying the evidence, he could erase any proof of his abuse towards his wife, Belle Dingle. However, little did Tom know that Carl had witnessed his actions. The little boy, scared of Tom, had confided in Nicola, who soon realized that Tom was not as innocent as he claimed to be. Despite Jimmy's unwavering support for his nephew, Nicola knew that the police needed to be informed. So, she took Carl to the station and reported the incident to DS Foy.
Tom was then brought in for further questioning and was held overnight. As usual, he tried to paint himself as a nice and understanding guy, but his facade started to crumble when DS Foy revealed that he had found some pretty incriminating evidence against him. Despite Tom's previous claim of only having installed one camera in his and Belle's home, his bank statements showed multiple purchases of such devices. This evidence aligned with the numerous drill holes found in their property's walls.
Tom was speechless, but he had to come up with a cover story to explain away the purchases. He revealed that he had been on edge ever since he was mugged last year, which led him to install cameras for security reasons. However, DS Foy was skeptical of this explanation, especially when he brought up the second burglary incident, which was a complete fabrication. Records showed that Tom had never reported the incident to the police, despite telling Belle otherwise. DS Foy wanted to know why that was and why Tom had lied to Belle.
Tom continued to lie through his teeth, claiming that he only did so to reassure Belle, who was understandably frightened. However, DS Foy noted Tom's lack of concern for Belle's mental health and even spoke to her mental health worker, Rachel, who confirmed that Belle was in a sound state of mind when Tom claimed otherwise. Tom realized that his lies were not doing him any favors, and matters only got worse when the police found his broken tablet during a search of Victoria Cottage.
As soon as the tablet was uncovered, Tom's demeanor changed. DS Foy pressed him to reveal what they would find on the device once the tech experts did a thorough analysis. However, Tom's lawyer stepped in, advising him not to say anything and calling the investigation a "fishing expedition." Against DS Foy's frustration, Tom kept quiet and was eventually released.
But his temporary freedom may not last long, as the police were likely to retrieve some material from the tablet. This left Tom wondering how he would talk his way out of this situation. The walls were closing in on him, and even his family was starting to see him for who he truly was. Back at Victoria Cottage, Nicola and Jimmy were at odds over Tom until they received news that their daughter, Angelica, was coming home. They put their differences aside and were overjoyed at the thought of being reunited with her. Jimmy pleaded with Nicola to let the situation with Tom go if he was released without charges, and she eventually agreed. However, when Tom returned to Victoria Cottage, Nicola couldn't hide her animosity towards him, making it clear that she saw him for the manipulative and abusive person he truly was.
