Dream holiday
Belle and Tom have gone to Wales for a break. What Belle‘s not aware of though, is that Tom’s actually planning on moving them away permanently.
She’s been walking on eggshells since she told her husband she had aborted their baby. She knows he’s unstable, aggressive, even violent, but she’s been broken by his manipulative behaviour and now it’s clear she blames herself for his abuse.
Meanwhile Tom’s determined to get his new wife away from her friends and family in Emmerdale – a common tactic used by abusers.

Emmerdale spoilers: soap airs flashbacks
The story of Belle’s torment in Wales is told in flashback as we first see Charity concerned about Belle.
Charity is uncomfortable about Tom because he reminds her of her own abuser, Bails. So when she finds out about Tom’s job interview in Wales she is really concerned.
As she does some digging and discovers Belle’s been missing her mental health appointments she’s even more worried – so she enlists the help of Belle’s big brother, Cain.
Charity and Cain break into the Kings’ house to see what they can find out. They spot all of Tom’s creepy surveillance equipment and realise, with growing horror, that Charity is totally right about what Mr King is really like.

Tracking them down!
Luckily, after a bit of rummaging, where they come across Belle’s phone stuffed in a drawer, they find out where they are. Understanding that time is of the essence, the frantic pair head off to Wales to track them down.
But when they arrive, it looks like they’re too late. The cottage Belle and Tom are staying in has been trashed, with blood on the walls, and they’re nowhere to be seen.
The action then flashes back to when the couple arrived at the cottage.
As the sun rises the pair arrive and seem happy and loved-up as they explore their holiday home.
Belle is upset to have left her phone behind because she couldn’t find it before they headed out.
Of course, it’s not long before Tom starts his manipulations. Belle though is still hopeful their holiday will get off to a good start.
But when she overhears Tom arranging to rent the cottage for longer, she’s confused.
And as the flashbacks continue we see the blissful holiday getaway turn into a terrifying ordeal for a frightened, lonely Belle.
