Tom King’s fate revealed in Emmerdale after abuser went missing amid horror barn fire
What will this mean for Belle and Amelia?
TOM King’s fate has been revealed amid his disappearance this week in Emmerdale.
His abuse of wife Belle has slowly started to be exposed to his neighbours as more and more people have discovered the truth about his and Belle’s horror marriage.
Belle exposed his ways to Tom’s new girlfriend Amelia Spencer who refused to believe her and branded her a “liar”.
Amid the chaos, Cain Dingle made a slew of threats as he indicated he would make Tom pay for what he had done.
At the same time, the village was rocked by an explosive barn firm which saw Moira and Ruby trapped inside the burning buidling.
This occurred at the same time that Tom went missing from the village in order to avoid being questioned on his conduct with Belle.
The Dales residents were left panicked when Tom was nowhere to be found amid the fire with many suspecting Cain of foul play before the blaze.
A brainwashed Amelia was also left fearing the worst amid Tom’s disappearance as she continually refused to believe the things Belle was telling her.
However, in a surprise twist, at the end of tonight’s episode it was revealed that Tom was alive and had been nowhere near the raging blaze.
Instead, he had been staying close-by and had only told Amelia of his current whereabouts.
In the episode, Amelia could be seen approaching Tom in the woods as patterns of his sinister behaviour almost immediately jumped out when he nearly berated her for almost being late.
It quickly became clear that Tom was only using Amelia to his advantage as he insisted she leave within seconds of arriving and after delivering his message to her.
Tom told Amelia: “I need you to carry on keeping your eyes and ears open for me, okay?”
Amelia then questioned: “It would help if I knew why?”
Tom answered back: “You know why! It took guts to walk away from a bad marriage.
“I was practically Belle’s carer half of the time.
“You wanna know why I’m doing all of this? I want a divorce!
“Then we can finally be free of her – if that’s alright with you?”
Amelia nodded and smiled before Tom ensured that she stayed silent on the fact they were in contact as he told her that “no one can know” that they have met up.
So just what does Tom have planned?
And could it be Amelia that is in grave danger?
