1. Belle hopes Amelia is starting to see the light

Belle has been doing everything in her power to make Amelia see what kind of a monster Tom is. So far, the teen mum has been refusing to hear a bad word said against her boyfriend and refuses to be believe he’s a violent abuser.

But it seems Belle’s pleas may finally have been heard when Amelia agrees to talk.

She asks Belle if they can meet at Wishing Well to discuss everything and Belle is only too happy to agree. She makes sure they’ve got the PLACE to themselves then waits for Amelia to show.

But unbeknownst to Belle, it’s another one of Tom’s traps, which she’s fallen straight into.
