Belle, who has been vigilant to avoid escalating Tom’s anger, recently discovered she was pregnant. She initially kept this from Tom while she considered her options but revealed it in a moment of fear to avoid another beating. Despite this, Belle decided to terminate the pregnancy. Knowing Tom was tracking her movements, she cleverly left her phone in Amelia Spence’s baby Esther’s pram to mislead him before heading to the clinic.

In upcoming episodes, Belle confides in her mental health coordinator, Rachel, revealing she told Tom she had a miscarriage instead of an abortion. As Belle opens up about the abuse she has endured, Rachel encourages her to take a break from Tom. Belle plans to visit Debbie and Zak Dingle in Scotland, hoping to escape the nightmare she has been living.

Tom’s fury reaches its peak when he learns from Noah that Belle was at an abortion clinic, not walking around the village as he believed. Overcome with rage, he grabs a rusty iron bar and begins a destructive rampage, smashing everything in his path. In a final swing, the iron bar strikes an electrical unit in the barn, resulting in Tom being electrocuted and flung against a beam.

Is this the end of Tom King?
