Emmerdale lines up a twisted plan for Tom King (James Chase) following his arrest, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, while emotions run high all across the village.
Following Tom’s arrest, Jimmy (Nick Miles) has cut all contact with his nephew so it comes as quite a shock next week when he receives a letter from the prison.
With Tom using her to get Jimmy onside, Angelica (Rebecca Bakes) tries to get her dad to read what the abuser has to say, but Jimmy sees through his blatant attempts to manipulate him.
Angelica, however, faces more pressure from Tom and therefore she persists, with Jimmy ultimately taking it upon himself to visit Tom behind bars.
Tom grins when he sees his uncle, hopeful that he will be able to win him over, but he gets quite the shock when he realises that Jimmy is the one holding all the cards, with the cafe owner only agreeing to hear him out if he’s willing to change his plea.
In typical Tom fashion, the abuser turns everything back round on Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), which leaves Jimmy knowing there’s nothing more he can do as he walks out.
Will Tom finally realise that it’s time to face justice? Or will he come up with yet another way to try and wriggle out of the charges brought against him?
Elsewhere in the village, Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) prepares to receive her pathology results alone after Cain (Jeff Hordley) goes AWOL.
Cain, is busy getting arrested once again and, desperate to be there to support Moira, he pleads with PC Swirling to let him speak to his wife.
Things spiral from there as Moira breaks down after getting her results and, with Cain having failed to turn up to his special birthday party, she confronts him.
Wracked with guilt, Cain plans to reveal all about Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly).
And speaking of Ruby, the week in question proves insightful for her character as a flashback episode takes viewers back in time to 1992 on the day of her 16th birthday.
Emmerdale airs these scenes between Monday, December 9 and Friday, December 13 at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
