Episode 10102 (27th September 2024)

==Plot==
Part One:
As a terrified Belle stands over Tom's lifeless body, his words about her being thrown in a cell go through her head. In her distressed state, she runs out of the flat and into the main house where Sam, Lydia, and Vinny find her when they return home. Belle confesses to them that she's killed Tom. In the café, Amelia tries to get a hold of Tom to warn him the Dingles are on the warpath. Amy can't believe Amelia is so stupid to believe Tom's lies. Vinny heads up to the flat where he finds Tom's body with the axe sticking out his back. At the same time, Lydia asks Belle to tell her and Sam what happened. Belle explains Tom knew she was going to go to the police so he locked the door and started hitting her. She ended up locking her herself in the flat but Tom smashed his way in. Tom was walking towards her with an evil look in his eyes, so she tried to pull the trigger, but it didn't work and Tom was mocking her. Suddenly, Tom had the gun and was about to used when she saw the axe. She stuck it right in Tom's back and he collapsed. At that moment, Vinny comes downstairs and confirms Tom's dead. Belle fears what's going to happen to her now. Amy panics when Amelia discloses she told Tom that Belle is going to the police so she rushes up to Wishing Well to check on Belle. Vinny wants to call the police but Lydia is adamant involving the police isn't an option as she worries the axe being in Tom's back could make the police think Belle wasn't provoked. Vinny isn't fully on board but Lydia insists they can't take the risk; Belle need protecting whatever it takes. They need to get Tom off their land so they can look after Belle. As Sam, Lydia, and Vinny plan on how they'll move Tom's body, Amy arrives to check on Belle. Lydia lies to Amy that Tom hasn't been there and Belle is having a nap after going for a walk with Charity. After Amy leaves, Sam and Vinny head into the flat but Tom's not there.
Part Two:
Vinny rushes downstairs and tells Belle and Lydia that Tom has disappeared. Lydia sends Sam and Vinny out to find him. Meanwhile, an injured Tom staggers away from Wishing Well and collapses by a road where he's found by Liam who's out jogging. Amy heads back to the café and asks Nicola if she's seen Amelia. As they are talking, Jimmy receives a phone call from Liam informing him of Tom's collapse. Amy's mind starts spinning. Sam and Vinny spot Tom being put into the back of an ambulance. At Wishing Well Cottage, Lydia informs Belle that Tom is on the way to the hospital. Belle is concerned what Tom will tell the police but Lydia insists the only thing she needs to worry about is her alibi. Belle decides to go to the hospital. Lydia is unable to stop her despite her best efforts. Jimmy and Nicola arrive at the hospital and Liam updates them on Tom's condition. He explains the police will likely be called due to the wound on Tom's back. Sam and Vinny arrive at the hospital shortly after. News of Tom's injuries reaches Amelia who insists Belle's not right and this proves it. At the hospital, Jimmy and Nicola are suspicious of Sam and Vinny. When Belle arrives, Sam and Vinny insist she shouldn't be there and order her to go home. Belle questions how she'll live with herself if Tom dies as it'll be another life she's taken. And if he survives, her life is over. Whatever happens, she's screwed and Tom has won.
