Episode 10105 (2nd October 2024)

==Plot==
Part One:
Belle has been released on bail following her confession. As a forensic team examines Wishing Well Cottage for evidence, Belle assures Sam and Lydia that she kept them out of it. DS Foy and DC Chester arrive at the hospital as Tom is being discharged and arrest him for coercive and controlling behaviour as well as assault. Aaron and Mack stash the stolen smart watches in John's van. As Moira and Matty do the farm deliveries, Moira tells Matty she'll paint the fence and look after the sheep today and orders him to deal with the cattle. Ella and Liam have been growing closer so Ella asks him to be exclusive again. Liam agrees. At the police station, DS Foy informs Tom that Belle has admitted to attacking him and handed in the weapon. Tom claims he lied about who attacked him to protect Belle as her illness makes her act irrational. DS Foy next asks Tom if things ever got physical between them. Tom falsely reports Belle would throw things at him and push him around, using the time Belle pushed him in Main Street in front of her family as an example. He also lies Belle hit him but she was always sorry afterwards. When DS Foy asks Tom if he was ever violent to Belle, Tom asserts the only time was was when he was forced to restrain her. DS Foy doesn't believe a word Tom says. He asks Tom if he struck a deal with Belle yesterday as she alleges he ordered her not to report him for domestic abuse and in return he'd not report her for the attack. Ella invites Liam to lunch tomorrow but Liam already has plans. Mack and Matty discover the sheep are in a bad way and call the vets. DS Foy next asks Tom about screwhead cameras. Tom admits he installed one at Dale Head without Belle's knowledge but claims he did it to keep her safe. DS Foy asks about the footage. Tom claims it self-deletes after 24 hours but he silently panics when DS Foy informs him police are seizing his electronics as they speak.
Part Two:
Jimmy and Nicola reel from Tom's arrest as they watch the police search Victoria Cottage. Jimmy can't make sense of it all. Liam confides in Paddy that he's got a murder mystery event tomorrow and doesn't think it's appropriate to invite Ella along considering her history. Aaron gets a shock when he finds John in the back of the campervan and no sign of the stolen smartwatches. John isn't impressed by Aaron's illegal endeavours and that he's involving him by using his van. Vanessa examines the sheep and concludes they've ingested some paint. She inspects their feed trough and discovers Moira has accidentally contaminated the hay with paint. Once the police have left, Jimmy confronts Belle and realises she was the one who attacked Tom. Jimmy is still firmly on Tom's side and warns Belle the truth will come out. Belle states she hopes it does. Mack gives Moira a hard time about the sheep and can't believe she's even considering going back to work after today. Moira feels the tumour is taking everything from her and she no longer knows who she is anymore. She tearfully agrees to stop working then sobs in Mack's arms. A panicked Tom tries to ascertain if the police got hold of his tablet, admitting to his friend and solicitor Ollie that not only is there still footage on the tablet, but there was more than one camera. Ollie warns Tom that the police are looking for evidence of controlling behaviour and the footage might add weight to Belle's claim. Meanwhile at Victoria Cottage, Carl removes the tablet in question from his school bag and begins playing on it.
