Episode 10127/10128 (31st October 2024)

==Plot==
Part One:
The police descend on the village looking for Tom's missing tablet. Billy refuses to fight again and orders Ross to say away from him. At the secure unit, Belle receives a visit from her mental health crisis worker, Rachel. Belle hasn't had any further symptoms but she isn't ready to leave yet so Rachel suggests they take the time to look at what contributed to her relapse and work on coping strategies. Aaron and Victoria are shocked to learn of Rebecca's death. Victoria can't believe they weren't told before now and worries about Seb. Jimmy remains firmly in denial about Tom but Nicola and Rodney can see Tom's story doesn't add up. Things are awkward between Chas and Liam when she calls by Tenant House to look for Eve's lost bunny although she invites him and Ella to the pub's Halloween party tonight. Liam isn't keen but Ella accepts. Jimmy has a run in with Cain at the Hide. At the police station, DS Foy quizzes Tom about his tablet, suggesting Tom destroyed the device as he was worried about the police seeing the footage from the screwhead camera. DS Foy then moves on to the fact that Tom asserted in previous interviews he only had one camera when there were several drill holes around Dale Head. Tom's solicitor Ollie argues Dale Head was a rental so previous tenants could've drilled the holes but DS Foy hits him with evidence that Tom bought multiple cameras.
Part Two:
A nervous Ella meets Paddy for lunch. Victoria tracks Ross down to the pub and questions why he didn't tell her about Rebecca. Victoria believes Robert never would've agreed to Seb going to stay with Rebecca's aunt, but Ross informs her he did. Charity works out it was Nicola who reported Tom about the tablet. Sam is glad one of the Kings is finally seeing sense. Belle explains to Rachel that she wishes Cain hadn't told Zak about the abuse as now her dad's last memories of her are tainted. Belle also fears she'll lose everything as Tom could still manage to turn things in his favour even if the police could have all the proof in the world. At the police station, Tom admits he bought the cameras but claims he only did it due to a break-in which contradicts his previous statement that he installed the cameras due to Belle almost burning the house down. DS Foy informs Tom that he's spoken to Belle's support worker and Rachel believes Belle was of sound mind when he is claiming otherwise. Ella finally asks a bumbling Paddy what's going on as he's been acting weird all day. Ross explains to Victoria, Aaron, and Mack how Seb came to be living with Rebeeca's aunt. Victoria wonders why Robert didn't tell her. When Ross makes a quip about Aaron shacking with Robert's brother now, the pair nearly come to blows which doesn't impress Charity. Whilst dropping off Eve's bunny, Liam apologises to Chas for how awkward things have been between them; he has feelings for her but assumes they're one-sided. Chas admits she has feelings for him too but they'll pass as he's with Ella now. Soon the pair are kissing. DS Foy returns to the interview room with an evidence bag and gleefully tells Tom his tablet has turned up. Tom can't believe it.
Part Three:
DS Foy informs Tom that the police are confident they'll be able to pull something from the tablet so he gives him a chance to explain what they'll find. Ollie argues they have nothing but a broken old tablet and the fantasies of a young boy so they either need to charge Tom or let him go. As Chas and Liam kiss, someone knocks at the backroom door so Liam hides. It's an upset Ella looking for Liam so Chas tells her she's just missed him. After Ella leaves, Chas tells Liam she doesn't want to be the other woman again therefor he needs to decide who he wants to be with. Liam wants to be with Chas. Jimmy and Nicola are too busy arguing about Tom to notice the phone ringing at Victoria Cottage so Rodney picks up. It's the secure unit and they want to talk to Jimmy or Nicola about Angelica. Charity tries to talk Ross out of participating in any more illegal fights for Moses' sake but Ross has no money and no job which makes the money too lucrative. Chas ropes Aaron, Victoria, and Mack into helping prepare for the pub's Halloween party. As they are working, they discuss Ross and Seb. Chas assures an upset Aaron that Seb will be fine as Robert never would've agreed to sending him to live with Rebecca's aunt if he didn't think it was for the best. Ross believes Moses would be better off with Charity and Mack. Charity reminds Ross he's always been a fantastic dad and encourages him to get his life together otherwise he'll end up in prison or dead. She orders Ross to get a proper job and a roof over his head. When Sam and Lydia visit Belle in the secure unit, Sam discloses Tom was at the police station overnight and the police have been searching the village for his tablet. Belle is hopeful the police will find enough evidence to prove her story. Nicola and Jimmy and delighted to learn that Angelica's release has been moved up and she'll be coming home tomorrow. Conversation soon turns back to Tom and Nicola tells Jimmy that if the police charge Tom, she doesn't want him around the kids, especially Angelica. Jimmy agrees, but asks Nicola to drop the subject if Tom is let go. Soon after, Tom arrives home in a police car. Amelia and Jimmy are delighted but Sam, Lydia, and Nicola cannot believe it. A furious Sam declares they're going to get Tom for what he's done whilst Jimmy concludes the police must think Tom has done nothing wrong if they've released him.
Part Four:
Tom is glad to be away from the police station and magnanimously tells Nicola he understands why she took Carl to the police. Liam returns to Tenant House to break up with Ella, but before he can, Ella reveals she's been fired from the vets. Liam doesn't feel he can break up with Ella now and inadvertently ends up giving her her old job back at the surgery. Carl is terrified when he returns home and sees Tom there. Once Carl is out of earshot, Nicola orders Tom to stop pretending like everything is okay, warning him if he dares step a toe out of line, she'll have him out of there. Charity drops by the farm and is shocked to find Cain wearing an apron and attempting to bake cakes. Cain explains he was attempting to make cakes for Isaac as that's what Moira would do. Cain reveals he's struggling to juggle the kids, the farm, and the garage so Charity suggests he give Ross a job. Cain refuses, but upon hearing Rebecca has died, he agrees to give Ross work on the farm and allow him to stay in the spare room. Someone has thrown a brick at the windscreen of Tom's car. Ross takes pleasure in informing Mack that Charity got him a job at the farm. Mack isn't pleased but Charity insists she's just doing what's best for Moses. Chas is surprised to see Liam and Ella arriving at the Halloween party together. Liam tries to explain but Chas doesn't want to hear it. The Kings discover the damage to Tom's car. Jimmy immediately points the finger at Sam. As Ross moves into the farmhouse, he receives a text from Jade mentioning the farm and asking him to call her.
