In Emmerdale, Belle Dingle faces another crushing blow in her battle to bring her abusive husband, Tom King, to justice. Earlier in the week, Tom was arrested after Belle reported his abusive behavior, both physical and emotional. She had confessed to hitting him with an axe in self-defense when he locked her inside Wishing Well Cottage. However, Tom’s hidden camera footage on his tablet could provide the proof Belle needs to support her claims.

In Thursday’s episode, the tablet, holding crucial evidence, changes hands multiple times. Initially, Jimmy King’s son Carl finds it and uses it to play video games, and later it ends up with Isaac Dingle. Meanwhile, Belle gets disheartening news from detectives—they have found no incriminating evidence from Tom’s devices, leaving her without the concrete proof needed to press charges.

Desperate, Belle realizes that without evidence, she might face legal consequences for her confession of attacking Tom. The situation takes a turn when Moira Dingle finds Isaac playing with the tablet and discovers the hidden footage that could incriminate Tom. Just as she tries to notify Belle, Moira suffers another seizure due to her ongoing brain tumor diagnosis, and she forgets the importance of the tablet.

Moira’s memory loss leaves the critical evidence unattended, and it ends up on a bookcase, unnoticed by anyone who could help. Meanwhile, Tom’s lawyer advises him to find the tablet before the police do, as it could lead to his downfall. Tom is also encouraged to keep his new girlfriend, Amelia Spencer, close to undermine Belle’s claims. As tensions rise, the question remains: will the Dingles uncover the evidence in time to bring Tom to justice, or will Belle’s fight collapse under the weight of this latest setback?
