Tom thought he’d got away with it – until Belle took her revenge!

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King’s escape plain foiled as Belle and DS Foy brought him down. But is it for good?

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Amelia both realised the error of their ways – about time – and Pollard’s secret was exposed.

Here’s everything that happened in a very eventful Emmerdale on Thursday November 28.

Tom was brought to justice in Emmerdale tonight

Jimmy saw Tom for what he is

Jimmy was struggling with understanding what had happened and still couldn’t quite believe Tom was guilty. But he soon realised he had to apologise to Belle.

Tom then arrived home and insisted he was prepared to fight Belle to clear his name. Jimmy asked him to just be honest if he wanted them to stay on his side. But of course Tom couldn’t stop lying.

Jimmy finally realised who Tom was and told him to pack his bags. Jimmy then went to see Belle. He apologised and told her he was ashamed of himself for not believing her.

Tom tried again and again and again to get Jimmy back on side, but Jimmy had finally seen the light. He told Tom he ‘disgusts’ him and once again threw him out. So Tom reverted back to his old tactic of pretending he was going to ᴋɪʟʟ ʜɪᴍsᴇʟꜰ. But Jimmy saw through it straightaway and insisted it was over.

Tom lost it then and laid into Jimmy about being weak and stupid, he even said his dad Carl had thought the same. Jimmy told him: “You really are a chip off the old block”, ʀᴇꜰᴇʀʀɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ Cᴀʀʟ Kɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ʜɪs ᴍᴀɴʏ, ᴍᴀɴʏ ᴄʀɪᴍᴇs, ʜɪs ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇss, ʜɪs ʙᴜʟʟʏɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ʜɪs ᴀʙᴜsɪᴠᴇ ɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ.

Tom plotted to flee

Meanwhile, Amelia went to visit Tom and wanted answers over him being charged. But Tom wasn’t in any mood to talk and manipulate, he just wanted her gone. Tom then called Ollie and told him it was “time for plan B” – plan B was running away to Saudi Arabia.

Tom then told Amelia he wanted her and Esther to join him in Saudi Arabia once he was settled. Although she agreed, said she believed him and offered to help him get away, something in Amelia’s manner had changed – had she finally seen the light?

Tom stole Kerry’s car so he wouldn’t be tracked and told Amelia he was heading to the airport. She let him leave. But then she went to the Woolpack and told everyone Tom had done a runner.

Cain and Charity raced to stop him, but it turned out he had tricked Amelia to cover his back.

Tom and Belle – the final showdown

As he was driving along, Tom saw Belle walking and couldn’t resist pulling over. He told her she’d never get justice as he was running away – but one day he was coming back to make her pay. As she stood up to him, he couldn’t control himself and aggressively slammed her against the car.

Their confrontation saw Belle take none of his abuse as he tried even more to manipulate her. Belle had all the power as Tom told her: “Someone’s found her voice” – and it’s not before time.

It was Belle who walked away as Tom screamed after her that he loved her. But she just kept on walking. Yes, Belle.

DS Foy to the rescue again in Emmerdale tonight

Meanwhile, Cain and Charity realised Tom had conned everyone. At the same time he was meeting with Ollie who’d got him a fake passport and called him a cab to get him to a ferry.

Tom’s smug smile as he thought he’d got away with it was soon wiped off his face when DS Foy arrived at the ferry port!

It turned out during their confrontation Belle had slipped her phone into his bag. She gave the details to the police who tracked the device and rushed to catch him.

Tom tried to run, he screamed, he fought, he kicked, but there was no escaping justice. At last.

Ella caught Chas and Liam out in Emmerdale tonight

Ella was clearly growing suspicious of Chas and Liam and was making things very uncomfortable for them. She dug for dirt with Mandy and found out Chas isn’t a fan of girl code, making her even more sure of what she thought she knew.

Chas soon told Liam they had to come clean to Ella, but they decided to spend lunchtime having a quickie instead of confronting the situation there and then. And Ella was determined to catch them out.

She burst into Liam’s and confronted him, forcing them to tell her the truth – or rather reveal it in scantily clad clothes. Ella launched into them both for lying and cheating and treating her like “ᴍᴜᴄᴋ”. Not strictly fair, but still. The truth is out now.

Pollard in peril in Emmerdale tonight

Pollard was pulling out all the stops for the engagement party and Leyla was excited. The bash then got underway at the Hide and Eric made a speech, surprising Brenda with a first class round the world cruise for their honeymoon.

As everyone speculated why Eric was suddenly splashing the cash when he has a reputation for being tight, Leyla noticed Pollard was not quite right. She followed him home and he confessed he’d invested everything – his entire savings – in cryptocurrency and his account was empty.

A quick call to the helpline saw Eric’s mood pick up, despite Leyla’s concerns he was being scammed. But later he made a huge gamble when he decided to invest some of Brenda’s cash as well. This will all end in tears, mark our words.
