This week on Emmerdale, Belle and Tom headed off to Wales for a cottage ‘holiday’ away from the village, heading off without informing anyone of their plans.
Tonight (Wednesday, July 24) saw a special flashback episode air in which viewers found out what really happened during the couple’s time in Wales.
And this episode has proved yet again that when it comes to special episodes, Emmerdale always pulls it out of the bag!

Emmerdale: Belle and Tom’s flashback episode
Yesterday’s episode of Emmerdale (Tuesday, July 23), left viewers on a cliff-hanger as Charity and Cain turned up to the Welsh cottage to find the place trashed, with blood on the walls!
Tonight, Emmerdale then aired a flashback episode that time travelled back to the start of Belle and Tom’s ‘holiday.’
The entire episode focused on the couple’s stay in a remote part of Wales – with only their dog Piper for company.
Despite Belle not having her phone, she tried to remain optimistic about the trip away. However, she soon overheard Tom talking about renting out the cottage for longer, realising that he was going to a job interview. He hadn’t even consulted her first.
Throughout the episode, Tom continued to manipulate Belle and even abused poor Piper whilst he was at it too. Belle felt awful as Tom insisted on leaving Piper out in the garden, all alone for the entire night, to ‘teach her a lesson.’
With Tom later revealing that he’d accepted the job in Wales, Belle told him that she didn’t want to move away from Emmerdale village.
Tom then brought up her termination, turning on his wife and physically hitting her. He then started making death threats, with Belle grabbing Piper and managing to escape the locked cottage by grabbing Tom’s key when he wasn’t looking.
She then used the only cash she had on her to flee her abusive husband, jumping onto a bus with her dog.
