In the present day, Charity’s suspicions about Tom continue as she confesses to Cain that Belle’s husband reminds her of her abuser Mark Bails.

Cain promises that he’ll try to reach Belle, but admits the next day he’s had no luck. Charity and Cain agree to break into Dale Head where they are alarmed to see all of Tom’s surveillance equipment.

When Charity finds Belle’s phone and a scrap of paper with an address for a Welsh cabin, the two decide to track down Belle.

Cain and Charity arrive at the Welsh holiday property and stumble on a shocking scene, where blood is streaked across a door.

The soap will then shift into flashback scenes from Tom and Belle’s arrival at the cottage. Although the holiday seems to be going well at first, Belle is upset that she’s lost her phone and has had to go away with no devices.

Belle later overhears Tom arranging to rent the cottage for longer than expected, setting the stage for Cain and Charity’s eventual discovery of the cabin in disarray.

These scenes will be airing next week.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
