Belle hits back

With Belle convinced Tom is getting help for his anger issues, she has no idea he’s actually lied to Dr Liam that she’s the one with the problem.

It’s the anniversary of Lisa’s death tonight and Belle wants to spend it with Sam and Lydia at a memory picnic. However, Tom has other ideas and engineers it so she has to wait in for a parcel to be delivered.

Tom himself is worked up as it’s the day of his performance review at work. He’s soon under pressure as Rhona and Vanessa give him some criticism. Tom does not handle the review well at all.

Soon, he’s taking his frustrations out on Belle again when he learns she didn’t wait in for the parcel. Knowing he’s losing control, Tom blames her for ruining the day. He then makes harsh comments about her mum.

Belle sees red. She snaps and pushes him to the ground in full view of the villagers. But with Tom spouting nonsense that she’s the one with the anger problem, has she just played right into his hands? Will the village turn against Belle the victim rather than seeing the true story?
