Tom King isn’t exactly a popular man in Emmerdale right now. Last night’s episode of the soap (Thursday, October 31) saw Tom face increasing pressure as the police investigated claims that he’d terrorised a child and disposed of vital evidence.
This came as Nicola took Carl down the station to tell investigating officers all about Tom and the missing tablet.
The police released Tom without charge, but he was more unpopular than ever – with Nicola growing increasingly convinced of his guilt.
Emmerdale: Tom under fire as Nicola issues a warning
Back at home, Nicola warned Tom that he had better behave – or else. With Angelica being released from the detention centre, she wanted a calm and safe environment. And if Tom did anything to violate that, he’d be out on his ear.
Trouble didn’t take long to come calling. And, as the episode ended, Tom discovered that someone had smashed the windshield of his car with a brick.
Fuming, Nicola took this as all the proof she needed that Tom was a bad influence on their household.
But whodunnit?
Who bricked Tom’s car?
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their theories as to who smashed up Tom’s car. Jimmy immediately suspected the Dingles, but Tom has no shortage of enemies in the village… if he didn’t do it himself, that is.
“I reckon it was Dawn or Rhona who threw the brick at Tom’s car…he did threaten to sue the vets,” suggested one fan.
“I reckon it was Nicola that smashed Tom’s car window!” another guessed.
“It was probably Carl that threw the brick at Tom’s car,” said a third.
Meanwhile, another theory suggested that Tom smashed up his own car in order to garner sympathy from Jimmy and Nicola.
“I think Tom put a brick through his own car window as he’s losing control,” one fan said.
Who do you think attacked Tom’s car?
Emmerdale tonight: Nicola won’t let it go
As the story continues tonight (Friday, November 1), Nicola finds herself unable to let her suspicions slide. She may have promised Jimmy that she’d leave Tom be, but she’s still on a hunt for answers.
As her dogged pursuit goes on, she clashes with Jimmy over what to do. Can she make Jimmy see sense?
