When Tom thinks he’s missing out on a veterinary work trip
, he’s upset – until Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick
) saves the day and he prepares for the trip.
Belle expresses worry about being left alone after the ‘robbery’
, which was actually staged by manipulative Tom.
But with the puppy cam allowing Tom to track Belle’s every move, she’s never really alone, and at the hotel, abusive Tom prioritises watching Belle go about her business on the hidden camera. But Tom is incensed to see Vinny arrive, and Tom sets off home.
With a face like thunder, Tom arrives, but he’s frustrated that Belle’s not there and he can’t locate her on the tracking app.
Oblivious Vinny and Belle walk their dogs in the woods, and Belle allows Vinny to try and fix her temperamental phone. Belle heads home, but Tom has tracked her phone to the scrapyard, where he’s unaware that Vinny has fixed it.
Tom panics to hear Vinny coming into the portacabin, and Tom hits Vinny over the head with a paperweight! Tom wipes his fingerprints from the scene and abandons a bleeding Vinny, but will Vinny be okay?
