What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom returned to torment Belle as Charity and Noah turned the tables on Joe

Tom King returned to our screens in Emmerdale tonight (Tuesday, February 11) as Belle attempted to start divorce proceedings. Manipulative Tom saw this as an opportunity to get his claws into Belle again, and demanded a face-to-face meeting. What is Tom up to?

Elsewhere, Joe celebrated as his plans for Noah began to come together. But, as he and Charity suddenly turned the tables, he found that the scamster had suddenly become the scam-ee. And, as Dawn fretted about Charity, she began to see Joe’s true colours..

Meanwhile, Moira rejected Cain, and Rhona and Marlon continued to pester April.

Here’s everything that happened on Emmerdale tonight.

Tom returned on Emmerdale tonight

Tom King was the first face we saw as the opening credits finished rolling on tonight’s episode. Receiving a visit from the prison chaplain, he had something on his mind.

Having learned that Belle had begun divorce proceedings, he was desperate to see his wife again. He seemed convinced that seeing Belle face-to-face again would help him to iron out all the, ahem, misunderstandings between them. He asked the chaplain to speak with Belle’s solicitor on his behalf.

Meeting with her solicitor, Belle set into motion the terms of the divorce. After warning her that Tom would probably try to delay proceedings, Belle’s solicitor suggested it’d be a good idea to pay Tom a visit in prison.

The prison chaplain’s message passed on, Belle mulled over going to see Tom. Back in his cell, Tom took out his temper on the chaplain – only to be informed that she’s planning on visiting tomorrow.

“I’ve been dreaming of this moment. This is the chance I’ve been waiting for since I’ve been locked up… and I’m not about to waste it,” he sneered sinisterly. What does Tom have planned for Belle now?

Noah and Charity turned the tables on Joe

Noah was dismayed to find that someone had broken into his van and stolen his tools. Smug Joe was on hand to ask him if he was regretting not taking the Dubai job yet – real subtle, Joe.

He continued to rub it in, accusing Charity of making Noah miss out on the biggest opportunity of his life to stay home and ‘be a mummy’s boy.’  We’d agree, if he didn’t so obviously have something terrible planned for his half-brother.

As Noah left for his job and Joe sauntered off, Dawn headed over for a word. Charity reassured her that she had no interest in snitching on their affair – but left her with a warning.

Later, sulky Noah unloaded on Lydia, telling her how he felt his business was dead in the water. In the cafe, Joe continued to bang on about Dubai, telling him that the offer remained on the table. Noah accepted and, as they shook on it, agreed to meet later to celebrate in the Woolpack.

Back at Home Farm, Dawn wanted to talk about Charity’s blackmail. Joe, however, was utterly disinterested (“I don’t have a marriage to ruin, so it’s not my problem”), leaving her under no illusion as to where she stood.

Selecting a bottle of the Woolpack’s finest champagne, Joe was in the mood to celebrate – and rub Charity’s nose in it. However, she had news of her own. They’d found Noah’s tools in a local pawn shop, and she and knew Joe had put them there.

Reveling in Joe’s anger, she informed him that they’d bought back Noah’s tools – and gotten him some work too. As he stormed out, Charity and Noah celebrated a plan well foiled.

Rhona and Marlon pestered April

Rhona returned home, having taken down all of the Missing Child posters from around town. She and Marlon worried about how they could best protect April from all of the gossip, online and around the village.

Joining them in the kitchen, April re-iterated her need to be left alone. No chance of that – and they barged into her room without knocking. “We need to talk,” Marlon insisted, ignoring her admission that she wasn’t ready to do so yet.

Rhona told her that she and Marlon planned on registering the baby’s birth on her behalf. In no mood to talk about it, April suggested they do what they want… just leave her alone.

Moira felt self-conscious on Emmerdale tonight

Moira and Cain returned home after another radiotherapy session. As she fretted, he reassured her that he was still attracted to her. She was shocked as a clump of her hair fell out while she sat on the sofa. Upset and wanting to be alone, she packed Cain off to the pub while she sat behind and wept.

In the Woolpack, Cain sought advice from Charity and Lydia. They told him that he needed to prove his dedication to Moira – and stop feeling sorry for himself. Back at home, he reminded her that he was going nowhere, hair or no hair.
