==Plot==
Part One:
Tom spots Esther has dropped her teddy so he picks it up and hands it to Amelia. It's clear Amelia is smitten with him. Cain learns from Chas that Moira has been to the doctor. Belle bumps into Tom outside the vets where he again threatens to post her intimate pictures online. Belle reminds Tom she could report him for even threatening that but Tom tells her to do her worst as he always wins. Belle vows to herself that he won't this time. Nate invites Tracy for a drink after work to talk. Tracy assumes Nate is going to tell her he has a new girlfriend and is floored when Nate instead reveals he might be moving to the Shetlands. Belle approaches Ryan in the café and asks for advice about a "friend" who's had intimate pictures posted online by her ex and questions if there's any way to trace it back to him. Ryan doubts it as it was probably posted using a VPN or a proxy. Ryan comments her friend probably wishes she wiped his devices now which gives Belle an idea. Whilst Nicola is distracted, Belle swipes her house keys. Will is unnerved when a smart speaker goes off unexpectedly at Home Farm. Belle lets herself into Victoria Cottage and begins searching for Tom's electronics but she's forced to hide in the cupboard when Tom unexpectedly returns home. When Tom goes upstairs, Belle grabs his tablet and runs out. Cain asks Moira about her visit to the doctor. Moira reveals she's booked in to have her bloods taken tomorrow much to Cain's relief. He apologises for the way he's been acting and soon Moira is dragging him to their bedroom. Jimmy gets a shock when he opens a Home James Haulage e-mail with the subject "Surprise" that was meant for Will. Tom notices his tablet is missing so he looks on the spy cam and sees Belle has stolen it. 
Part Two:
As Belle attempts to guess the tablet password, there's a knock at the door. She answers the door but there's no one there. When Belle returns inside, she spots the backdoor is open and realises the tablet has gone. At Home Farm, Jimmy and Will stare at the doctored images of Will and Rose pasted onto mucky pictures. Jimmy urges Will to go to the police but Will can't risk Kim finding out. Things go from bad to worse when Will receives a deepfake AI video of himself saying "I don't need proof, I have proof". Belle confronts Tom in the pub and demands to know how he got into the house. Tom denies being there and Amelia provides him with an alibi. Everyone is shocked to learn Tom and Amelia are together now, especially Noah. Tracy is devastated when Nate informs her he's decided to accept the job. Cain and Moira vow to make time for each other from now on and face Moira's potential menopause together. Once everyone is out of earshot, Tom asks Amelia why she lied. Amelia believes the tales Tom has spun about Belle being mad and she wanted to get Belle off his back. Amelia hopes she hasn't ruined anything between them by going public with their relationship. Tom assures her she hasn't. When Belle leaves the pub a few minutes later, Tom is waiting for her outside. Belle asks Tom to leave Amelia alone but Tom refuses as Amelia is useful to him. Tom again warns Belle that he always wins and she'll never be able to outsmart him - if she tries taking him down again, he'll make sure she looks madder than she already does. Once away from Tom, Belle struggles to hold back her tears.
