Charity has long been worried about Tom’s increasingly controlling behavior towards Belle. Her concerns
escalate when she learns that Belle has been missing her mental health appointments. As Emma Atkins (who plays
Charity) explains, Charity confides in Cain about her fears, recognizing troubling traits in Tom that remind her of a
past abuser. “Charity shows her vulnerability and says, ‘I recognize these traits, I recognize the signs. There’s one person
who made me feel like this, and that’s Bales. No matter how much aftershave Tom splashes on, I can sense something evil lurking underneath,’” Atkins reveals. This conversation convinces Cain that Charity’s fears are valid.
