In an upcoming episode of Emmerdale, Tom takes drastic measures to get Belle’s attention by using her beloved dog, Piper. The episode opens with Tom discussing his recent hangover, feeling miserable but relieved it was worth it. He mentions how he wishes Belle could have joined the previous day’s event, and he tries to convince her to attend Sam’s birthday party that evening. Despite his efforts, Belle remains reluctant, citing her lack of interest in socializing and her need to care for Piper, who she doesn’t like to leave alone for too long.

Tom insists that Belle should reconsider, highlighting how Sam could really use some cheering up, especially after receiving disappointing news about Samson’s air level results. Belle reluctantly agrees to attend for a few hours if Piper can come along, and Tom assures her it’s a deal.

However, Belle remains apprehensive about Tom, fearing he might show up at the party. She tries to downplay her concerns, saying she can handle any encounters with him and doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Meanwhile, Tom is focused on selling a car and is firm on his terms for the sale, emphasizing that he wants the transaction completed quickly without further negotiations.

As the episode progresses, Belle’s worries escalate when she finds Piper injured in the road, evidently hit by a car. In a distressed state, she tells Tom about Piper’s condition, fearing the worst. Tom reassures her that he’ll do everything he can to help save Piper, but the situation is dire, and Belle must brace herself for the outcome.

Stay tuned to see how Tom’s manipulation plays out and the impact it will have on Belle and the rest of the Emmerdale community.
