Lydia opens up to conflicted Belle

The next day, Lydia gently advises Belle that she could go to the police. She is concerned when Belle refuses to report Tom – telling her how she’s scared of having to relive her traumatic experiences at his hands.

Thinking on what she should do, Belle asks Lydia about her experience with Craig and the police. While Lydia’s story is helpful to Belle, Lydia grows upset after dredging up painful memories. Still, she hopes that she has helped Belle to do the right thing.

That evening, the pair reflect on a difficult day, united in their support for each other.
