He wasn't about to give up, not after everything that had happened. With Tom King now behind bars for breaking his bail conditions in Emmerdale, he knew he needed someone on his side if he wanted to avoid a long prison sentence. But who could he turn to in the village? It seemed like almost everyone had turned against him.
In Monday's episode, Tom contacted his uncle Jimmy King through an email from prison. He wanted to add Jimmy to his list of contacts, perhaps hoping that he could be the one person who still believed in his innocence. Jimmy had always been there for Tom, even when no one else was. He refused to believe that his nephew could be capable of the terrible things that Belle Dingle had accused him of.
However, Jimmy's eyes had been opened recently. He finally realized that Belle was telling the truth and he apologized to her for doubting her and making the situation worse by supporting Tom. But when he received the email from Tom in this episode, he found himself being drawn back in. He hid the email from his wife Nicola, not wanting to cause any more trouble. Little did he know, they shared the same email address and Nicola was fully aware of what was going on.
Despite everything, Jimmy still had a shred of sympathy for Tom. He reminded Nicola that he had known Tom since he was just a little boy. But Nicola wasn't having it. She reminded him that he also knew Tom's father, Carl, who turned out to be a psychopath. She firmly believed that Tom was guilty and that he deserved to be punished. Reluctantly, Jimmy agreed and said he would email the prison to have their details removed from Tom's list of contacts.
Meanwhile, their daughter Angel was listening to the conversation. She seemed distracted with her earbuds in, but she was actually paying attention. Later, she opened the email from the prison and approved the request to add Jimmy to the list of contacts, even filling in his details for him. It was clear that Angel still had some sympathy for Tom, despite everything that had happened.
In a previous episode, Angel had overheard Belle and Amelia Spencer talking about Tom. After Amelia finally realized that Belle had been telling the truth about Tom's controlling behavior, she apologized for not believing her and for making things worse. Angel could relate to their situation. She had been shunned by many people in the village after accidentally killing Heath Hope and had even felt like there was something wrong with her, like she was evil.
Perhaps this is why she was drawn to Tom. Her naivety and feeling of being an outsider in her own family and in the village made her the perfect target for Tom to manipulate. And with her involvement, could Tom have a glimmer of hope that he might be able to evade justice? Only time will tell.
