Read our Emmerdale spoilers for this story in full below.
Tom’s bad day
As the story continues, Belle sneaks out to a doctor’s appointment. She tells Manpreet that she doesn’t want her contraceptives prescription sent to her home like her other medication.
Meanwhile, at work, Tom feels patronised by Vanessa when he wrongly diagnoses an elderly dog with cancer without doing the proper tests.
Vanessa and Paddy overrule Tom, carrying out the correct blood tests. Vanessa reveals that the dog has an abscess – and not cancer.
As their customer storms out, furious Tom plays the victim. He claims that Vanessa makes him feel unwelcome at the practice.
He invites the vet staff and their partners to a dinner party for tomorrow night to try to ease the tension.
At home, Tom tells Belle about their dinner party plans tomorrow – and makes it very clear she is responsible for its success.
The next day, Belle puts the finishing touches to her big dinner. Instead of being impressed, controlling Tom tells her to change into a more appropriate outfit.
The secret’s out
In the kitchen alone, Tom makes a shocking discovery. Before he can confront Belle, the guests start to arrive.
Later, while the dinner party is in full flow, Belle goes upstairs. Tom joins her in the bathroom and threatens her over his discovery.
Afterwards, Tom refuses to let Belle out of his sight. After an argument between Marlon and Rhona, the party ends awkwardly, leaving Belle and Tom alone.
Scared Belle is desperate for people to stay, but they all make excuses and head off. As the guests leave, Tom’s mood takes another menacing turn.
We finally see what really goes on behind closed doors as the full extent of his abuse is revealed. It’s not pretty, but can Belle get out of this before it’s too late?
And just what will Tom do next?
