Emmerdale’s Tom King is taking a dark turn as he spies on Belle in sinister scenes set to air next week. The ITV soap delves deeper into the couple’s domestic abuse storyline after Belle decided to leave Tom. Following their disturbing holiday in Wales, Belle sought refuge in Scotland with her family, trying to reclaim her life. However, Tom, unwilling to let her go, schemes to regain control over her.

Upon Belle’s return to the village, Tom enlists Sarah’s help to reveal a surprise—a retro mini car he bought for Belle. Ignoring Belle’s boundaries, Tom lets himself into Dale Head without permission, pressuring Belle to talk about reconciliation. Belle stands her ground, rejecting both the car and Tom’s attempts to get back together. Despite her clear refusal, Tom manipulates her, trying to induce guilt for rejecting him.

Tom’s efforts to win Belle back fail as she remains resolute in her decision. He finally appears to accept her rejection, agreeing to her terms and leaving, which leaves Belle relieved but suspicious. However, the nightmare is far from over. Later, Tom is seen in the Woolpack’s beer garden, spying on Belle through secret security feeds he has installed. This chilling behavior indicates that Belle’s ordeal with Tom is not yet over, and his sinister control continues to loom over her.
