Tom has found himself in a precarious position after being arrested for coercive and controlling behavior, along with assault. His estranged
wife, Belle, has learned that the police need solid evidence to build a case against him. With the stakes so high, Tom is under immense pressure to recover the missing tablet that contains damning hidden camera footage.
Originally, Tom’s cousin Carl found the tablet, but it has since been passed to Isaac Dingle. Isaac’s mother, Moira, stumbled upon some disturbing videos on the tablet but lost track of it after her health took a turn due to a seizure.
In the latest episode aired on October 4, Tom became suspicious of Carl’s behavior and figured out he might know something about the tablet. In a manipulative move, he offered to take Carl to his dentist appointment, where he confronted the boy alone.
During this confrontation, Tom frightened Carl by demanding to know if he had stolen the tablet. When Carl confessed that he had indeed taken it to play games and later gave it to Isaac, Tom lost his temper. He shouted at Carl, insisting he needed that tablet back because his “whole life is on it.” This moment highlights Tom’s willingness to intimidate a child to protect himself.
Back at Victoria Cottage, Tom continued to exert control over Carl, suggesting that he could end up in jail like his sister Angelica for stealing. Carl, frightened and feeling guilty, begged Tom not to inform his parents, Jimmy and Nicola King.
The Milkshake Ruse
When Nicola returned home, Tom concocted an excuse to take Carl for a milkshake. The two spotted Isaac with the tablet in the village, but Tom immediately stopped Carl from approaching him. Instead, he insisted, “I will deal with Isaac however I decide.” This shows that Tom is plotting a more sinister approach to retrieve the tablet, hinting at his manipulative nature.
What’s Tom Planning?
The big question on everyone’s mind is: What is Tom planning? Is he going to confront Isaac directly, or will he resort to more underhanded tactics to reclaim the tablet? Given the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences of the footage being revealed, it seems likely that Tom’s next steps will be both calculated and desperate.
