Tensions rise in the Dales as Tom desperately seeks a way to reconnect with Belle. With his wedding anniversary approaching, he learns that Belle has begun divorce proceedings, leaving him determined to make amends. Feeling trapped and unable to reach her, Tom turns to the prison chaplain for assistance.

Expressing his heartbreak, Tom pleads with the chaplain to intervene, hoping a visit could mend their broken relationship. He insists that if Belle would only see him, they could iron out their differences and find some resolution. The chaplain, understanding the gravity of the situation, cautiously agrees to reach out to Belle’s legal representative, suggesting that a meeting might offer clarity for both parties.

Meanwhile, Belle grapples with her emotions. A conversation with her sister reveals that Tom has requested a visit through the chaplain. Suspicious of his intentions, Belle’s sister warns her that Tom may be seeking a legal loophole to stall the divorce. However, after much deliberation, Belle concedes that facing Tom in person might provide closure. Despite her apprehension, she acknowledges that an amicable separation is the best possible outcome. The thought of stepping into the prison unnerves her, but she considers gathering the courage to go through with it. 

Back behind bars, Tom anxiously awaits an answer. When the chaplain informs him that Belle has agreed to the visit, he is overwhelmed with relief. He questions what led to her change of heart, only to be reminded that this is an opportunity to demonstrate true remorse and seek forgiveness. The weight of the moment sinks in—this meeting could be his last chance to heal the wounds of the past.

As the visit looms, emotions run high. Will Tom use this opportunity wisely, or will his past actions prevent any hope of reconciliation? Belle, torn between fear and obligation, prepares for an encounter that could change everything. One thing is certain—when they finally come face to face, nothing will ever be the same again in Emmerdale.
