Tom King had high hopes that his latest actions would finally lead to his freedom, but Belle couldn't help but be concerned. The latest episode of Emmerdale, which is now available on ITVX, saw Tom being rushed to the hospital after a code red was declared. It was a desperate attempt by the prisoner to take his own life.
As viewers know, Tom is currently behind bars awaiting trial for domestic abuse and coercive control, following a report from his wife Belle Dingle. Throughout his time in prison, Tom has been manipulating and gaslighting everyone around him in a desperate attempt to regain control. But even with all his efforts, he has failed to sway the situation in his favor.
In the latest episode, Jimmy King received a phone call from the prison, informing him of Tom's suicide attempt. The news quickly spread throughout the village, leaving Belle in shock and Jimmy to fill her in on the details. Belle couldn't help but remember how Tom had threatened to take his own life before if she ever left him, seeing it as a way to trap her into staying with him. But now, she was left worried that he may have actually gone through with it this time.
Charity was also worried about Belle, knowing that this news would weigh heavily on her mind. Belle requested some time alone to process everything that had happened. Meanwhile, at the hospital, it became clear that Tom had staged the suicide attempt in hopes of disrupting the trial.
Belle was horrified to learn of Tom's actions, but he remained hopeful that his plan would work. His lawyer, Ollie, informed him that he would still need to be assessed to see if he was fit to stand trial after his suicide attempt. But Tom was convinced that without Belle's testimony, the proceedings would fall through.
The question remained, would Tom's theory come to pass? Would Belle back out of the trial? Despite Tom's manipulations, the trial was set to begin later that week. But whether or not Belle would make it to the proceedings was still uncertain.
