Review of the week: Tom’s shocking revenge, wedding bells, and a secret revealed

Well! There is a lot to say in this week’s Emmerdale review! Because what a week of Emmerdale that was!

Even in such an action-packed week, of course one story stands out: Tom’s evil attempt to hurt Belle by hurting Piper!

It was gasp-out-loud shocking and we are desperately hoping that Piper pulls through.

And that was only a small part of the dramatic events in this week’s Emmerdale. Read on for the rest of our Emmerdale review of the week to find out what we thought.

Paddy and Mandy’s super-quick wedding in our Emmerdale review

After a few hiccups, Paddy and Mandy finally made it to the altar for the second time, 25 years after they first tied the knot. They raced through their vows in record speed so they could get it all done before vicar Charles had to rush off again.

And that was really the theme of the whole thing – speed. Mandy’s money troubles only emerged a couple of weeks ago, she set up her fin-dom alter-ego Madame Diamante Dales last week, and paid off a chunk of her debts almost immediately.

The truth is out!

But within days, her future father-in-law Bear had found out, given her an ultimatum to stop or he would tell Paddy. Mandy agreed, but Bear set her up, exposed her – in a manner of speaking – and the truth was out.

Paddy decided the wedding was off, but a quick chat with Mandy later and everything was on again.

Our heads were spinning with the speed of it all. But we can’t deny it’s nice to see Paddy and Mandy happy. Let’s just hope it lasts!

Sugden secrets

Normally a newcomer to the village who’s hiding a secret leaves us cold. But to our own surprise, we’re finding John Sugden rather intriguing!

It’s partly the casting. Oliver Farnworth is bringing hints of both Jack and Robert Sugden to the role, and physically he’s perfect to be a Sugden. (We reserve the right to take all of this back in a future Emmerdale review if John turns out not to be a family member after all!)

More secrets!

Anyway, John’s prickly nature and downright hatred of Mack has won us over (come on, Mack’s very annoying!). And then Victoria found his army dog tag. He said he didn’t want to talk about that part of his life, which is interesting in itself.

But it turned out the dog tag wasn’t even his! Instead it bears the name Aidan Moore. WHO is Aidan? Why does John have his dog tag? We’re definitely invested in this now.

Vinny and Gabby are cute together (Credit: ITV)

We loved Liv but it’s nice to see Vinny finding some happiness after so much heartache. And who knows, maybe he’ll calm Gabby down a bit. We think this unlikely match could just work.

Poor Piper! (Credit: ITV/Emmerdale Insider)

Tom and Piper

OMG, where to begin with this one?! We still feel a bit sick just thinking about it. Having tormented Belle while she was in Scotland with endless messages, her abusive husband Tom was determined to keep up his harassment when she returned.

First, he bought her a car, which everyone thought was totally lovely – except Belle herself (and Charity, who’s thankfully still suspicious). Belle turned down his gift, but Tom wasn’t finished.

He let himself into the cottage, bringing flowers and a pint of milk for Belle, and acting like everything was normal. He told Belle they should get back together, and when she said no, he wasn’t happy.

Tom tried his old tricks, telling Belle she wasn’t strong enough to make such a big decision. He even threatened to take his own life. It was tough to watch! But Belle stayed strong.

Tom was soon back to his old tricks (Credit: ITV)

More threats

As usual, though, Tom had the upper hand – chillingly watching Belle through his hidden cameras. He could even see her undressing in the bathroom and later watched her sleep FROM INSIDE HER HOUSE. We’re into horror movie territory here!

And that wasn’t even the worst bit. In Friday’s episode, Belle stood up to Tom in public, humiliating him in the pub. And so Tom took terrible revenge.

He drove off in the Mini he’d bought for Belle and saw Piper in the road. Did he stop to make sure she was safe? No. He. Did. Not.

Instead, he put his foot down and accelerated towards the helpless pup.

Did you gasp out loud? We definitely did! Will evil Tom be the hero for saving the pooch’s life, or will he give Belle a shoulder to cry on if Piper doesn’t make it? Either way, it’s not looking good for Belle!

Emmerdale writers offered thanks by fans over Mandy and Paddy wedding episode

Grateful fans of Emmerdale have thanked the soap’s writers for its joyful Mandy Dingle and Paddy Kirk wedding episode last night.

Viewers tuned in as Mandy and Paddy successfully tied the knot in spite of his dad Bear’s meddling – outing her as a financial dominatrix to a baffled Paddy.

Paddy and Mandy’s happily ever after was in doubt for a while… as it appeared as though Paddy had called the whole thing off.

Well, it wouldn’t be a Dingle wedding without a little drama on the day!

Mandy rushed over to see her husband-to-be, who was surprisingly accepting of her side-hustle. It was the lies which proved to be the sticking point.

Following a sweet heart-to-heart, the pair managed to work things out, and the wedding was back on!

After rushing back to the church and talking Charles around, the pair were married in a joyful (if super speedy) counterpoint to the misery and upset surrounding them.

Married at last… again (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale fans praise ‘brilliant’ episode as Paddy and Mandy are married

As the soap shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the wedding, fans took to Instagram to share their appreciation for the episode.Â The consensus is in – and it’s good to see a bit of cheer for once.

“Brilliant episode, well done all about time we had a lighter episode,” wrote one overjoyed fan.

“Only Mandy Dingle could get away with that dress. Funny episode especially the vows well done all. The laugh that everyone needs right now in the cruel world we live in,” said another.

“Brilliant episode, so happy they are getting married. Love them both they are well suited,” a third fan shared.

“Love it, Mandy and Paddy together at last. They’re made for each other, nice to have a lighter note in the midst of the Belle and Tom storyline,” another viewer agreed.

“That was a brilliant episode, so funny and happy and the dress was amazing,” said a fourth.

A fifth agreed: “I like that it was sorted out by Mandy and Paddy simply having an adult conversation, well done writers.”

“The best episode, so great to have the humour back,” added a sixth.

Have Mandy and Paddy found their happily ever after?

Emmerdale tonight: Mandy and Paddy’s super-speedy wedding and Tom’s latest sinister plot exposed

Emmerdale tonight saw Mandy and Paddy’s big day called off then back on, then nearly called off, then finally on again. They said I do in record speed and pledged this was forever. Let’s all just remember forever equates to a couple of days in Soapland, eh?

Also, Tom’s manipulation tactics did not work on a returning Belle, but he’s not worried because he has something else up his sleeve…

Here’s a recap of everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday August 15.

Mandy was not giving up without a fight (Credit: ITV)

Mandy and Paddy’s slapstick wedding day

Paddy decided he couldn’t go ahead with the wedding. So gleeful Bear called everything off before breaking the news to Mandy herself. Mandy was already dressed and sparkling (t0 say the least) ready for her big day, but Bear didn’t care a jot.

As Bear took rather too much pleasure in telling her Paddy had pulled out, Mandy sped off to save her day. She and Paddy talked and she defended herself insisting she keeps her clothes on and wears a mask, so all it is is making money out of being a financial dominatrix.

Paddy wasn’t fussed over how she was making the money, it was the lies. But they soon reconciled, Paddy’s lending her the money to pay her debts and it was a race against time to get the wedding back on.

Now, it depends whether you like slapstick and Mandy-style comedy as to whether you enjoyed the next bit. They raced round the village and then waited at the church. Charles had a funeral so needed to get going and one by one the guests arrived, all having gone back to work and all hilariously (!) asking if they had time to get changed. “No,” everyone shouted in response each time.

But with no sign of Vinny or Bear it looked like they were going to miss the ceremony. They weren’t answering their phones or anywhere to be found. So Mandy raced outside and bellowed: “VINNY” across the Dales. He shouted back and then made it to the wedding. It’s a miracle.

After saying I do at super-top speed, Paddy and Mandy were hitched. “No regrets,” Pads told his new bride. “This time it’s forever.” Which usually means it’ll last about six months then all go wrong.

Tom didn’t get his way (Credit: ITV)

Tom lurked and spied on Belle in Emmerdale tonight

Belle arrived home from Scotland to find Sarah and a Mini waiting for her. Sarah handed over the keys, told Belle it was hers and it was a gift from Tom. Belle refused to accept it.

Before she could barely get in the front door, Tom had let himself in with milk and flowers to welcome her home. Let’s talk about getting back together was his opening gambit. But shocked Belle fought her clear anxiety and told him she didn’t want the car and they weren’t getting back together.

Tom tried to manipulate her and told her her brain couldn’t make those sorts of decisions because she was mentally unstable, but Belle stood firm. She told him no contact, no texts nothing at all. He surprisingly agreed.

Of course we all know why he agreed when he was then seen watching Belle sleeping on his phone. With secret cameras all over the house, there is absolutely no escape for Belle yet. Sigh.

Aw, happiness at last? (Credit: ITV)

Vinny and Gabby got it on

After an awkward encounter in the village, Gabby went home with a bottle of wine for one rather than go to the wedding with Vinny. Vinny turned up to apologise to Gabby for his behaviour last time. They kissed and she led him to the bedroom. Cherry popped.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Victoria couldn’t find John, despite her very best stalker efforts. She thought he’d left town. But eventually she found him – once again squaring off with Mack and Aaron at the pub – and they finally agreed on how to proceed. John is going to live in his, apparently stinky, van, but have a shower at Victoria’s and kick a ball around with Harry. That’s that sorted, then.

John also apologised to Sarah, who blackmailed him into buying her a drink.

Elsewhere, Nicola broke down and confided in Bob Angel is staying in prison for longer due to her fight. Bob told her at least she’s getting her child back and then apologised immediately. We mean, he does have a point…

Meanwhile, Charity was desperate to find out why the wedding had been called off originally. She told Mack “It won’t last anyway”, but he insisted they would be having “hot sex” until they were in their 90s.

Charity has also started to suspect Tom again. Her Spidey Senses are tingling apparently – and not from Mack’s hot sex comment. If she could just make up her mind about Tom and stick to it, that would be much easier!

Why is everyone so horrified over Mandyâ€™s sex work secret, ask fans: â€˜Sheâ€™s not human trafficking!â€™

Mandy Dingle was exposed for her double life as a financial dominatrix in Emmerdale last night. Bear revealed the truth to Paddy, Chas and Marlon by showing them Mandy working her magic on screen.

Paddy was heartbroken, Bear made his feelings perfectly clear and Chas and Marlon were shocked at how Mandy was making her money.

But why are they reacting so strongly, wonder fans? It’s not like she’s doing anything so bad, is it?

Mandy is exposed by Bear in Emmerdale

On Tuesday night (August 13) Bear overheard Mandy mid-findom session over the karaoke speakers at PampaManda. Disgusted, on Wednesday August 14, he then visited Mandy and gave her an ultimatum: tell Paddy or he would.

Mandy begged Bear to keep quiet. She promised she would give the whole thing up. He agreed, but he didn’t trust her, so set a trap to prove himself right.

Bear posed as a client and soon enough, Mandy called him and started shouting at him. Bear pretended he couldn’t get his camera working, but handed the phone to Chas, Paddy and Marlon in the back room of the Woolpack. They all saw exactly what Mandy was getting up to.

Paddy was stunned and said he wasn’t sure if the wedding could go ahead. Bear has made his feelings very clear that he doesn’t think it should.

The wedding is off (Credit: ITV)

What’s Mandy really doing wrong in Emmerdale?

Fans can’t really see the big deal with what Mandy’s doing and think Bear is totally overreacting.

“Bear mate, she’s telling blokes online they’re naughty boys whilst holding a whip, she’s not [bleeping] them in lay-bys!” said one.

Another added: “[Bleep] off, Bear. She’s a consenting adult, raking in cash, and if you’re so concerned, she’s keeping her clothes on.”

“Mandy has done nothing wrong, how she makes her money is her business, she isn’t even getting her baps out. It’s nobody’s business,” declared a third.

A fourth agreed: “Oh for Christ’s sake, she’s not Human Trafficking! This is ridiculous.”

“What.. don’t be an idiot she is being sensible and clearing her debt not leaching of you, you should not be so daft,” someone else directed their comment to Paddy.

A sixth questioned: “Why are they all so horrified?? It’s pretty harmless – and a good earner!”

Can Mandy save her wedding day? (Credit: ITV)

Do Paddy and Mandy get married?

Tonight (Thursday August 15) oblivious Mandy is getting ready for her big day. She has no idea back at home, Paddy has called the wedding off.

Bear arrives at the salon to tell her the news – and he sure does relish it. Mandy is distraught and she rushes off to see Paddy and try to save their day.

Can he forgive her however? Or are Paddy and Mandy very definitely over for good this time?

Bear trying to ruin Mandy and Paddyâ€™s wedding out of jealousy because he wants Mandy for himself, declare fans

Bear Wolf exposed Mandy Dingle’s secret sex work to Paddy in Emmerdale last night – and he didn’t exactly do it subtly. He claims he’s trying to save his son from getting hurt again, but fans think there’s another reason Bear is so against Paddy marrying Mandy: he’s jealous.

Before Pads and Mands got back together Bear was holding a torch for Mandy himself. At the time she was hopelessly in love with Paddy, but just holding off acting on it due to his recent break-up with Chas and subsequent decline in mental health.

So is Bear still after Mandy for himself?

Bear exposes Mandy in Emmerdale

After he overheard Mandy mid-findom session over the karaoke speakers at PampaManda, Bear was disgusted. He went away and researched exactly what she was doing and even found her profile page.

Torn over what to do, Bear stayed quiet at first. But then he visited Mandy and told her to tell Paddy or he would. Mandy desperately tried to persuade Bear to keep quiet. She promised she would give the whole thing up now she’d paid her debts. He reluctantly agreed.

However it wasn’t long before he totally changed his mind and set Mandy up to be exposed. With Paddy gushing over how much he loved Mandy and how she was the love of his life, Bear decided Paddy needed his eyes opening. So he posed as a client and Mandy called him and started shouting. Bear led Paddy, Marlon and Chas through to the back room of the Woolpack, where he showed them exactly what Mandy was getting up to.

Couldn’t have just taken Paddy for a quiet word, eh? Had to do with in front of his ex-wife?

Paddy was stunned and said he wasn’t sure if the wedding could go ahead. Tonight Bear is relieved and relishes in being the one to tell Mandy, who is all ready for her big day, that it’s off.

As Mandy rushes to save her relationship, does Bear have an ulterior motive for being so against their marriage?

Bear takes far too much pleasure in telling Mandy her wedding is off (Credit: ITV)

Is Bear jealous of Paddy and Mandy?

Fans certainly seem to think so, they are pretty convinced Bear wants Mandy for himself and that’s why he sabotaged their big day.

“Love Mandy she is funny and only trying to earn some money to clear her debts. I think Bear is doing that cause a while back he thought she was interested in him but she wasn’t,” mused one on social media.

Another added: “Let’s not forget Bear tried it on with Mandy a while back!! Is this because he’s jealous he didn’t get her?”

“It was only five seconds ago since Bear wanted to get into Mandy’s leopard print undies. Surprised he didn’t sign up to her page,” joked one more.

Will Bear succeed in splitting them up? Or will Paddy and Mandy get married? All will be revealed on Thursday August 15.

A timeline of Mandy and Paddy and their romance – from first wedding to cheating, a break-up and sleazy lies

Mandy and Paddy may or may not be getting married in Emmerdale after her explosive secret came out just hours before the wedding.

It’s hardly surprising it all went wrong after weeks of listening to Paddy gush about how marrying Mandy was like coming home again and how she was the true love of his life. Laying it on this thick is always a huge neon sign in Soapland that something bad is about to happen.

But it’s not the first time things have soured between ‘true loves’ Mandy and Paddy. In fact their first marriage ended so badly, we’re quite surprised they’re going there again.

Here’s their complete history.

Paddy couldn’t talk Mandy out of marrying Butch (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Emmerdale: Mandy and Paddy as star-crossed lovers

In 1995 Mandy Dingle arrived in Emmerdale to live with her uncle Zak after being disowned by her dad, Caleb. Then, two years later in February 1997 Paddy arrived in the village and Mandy fell in love with him.

Things hit a snag when Paddy was overheard ridiculing the Dingle family and Mandy ordered him out of their house. After a stint working in Ireland, Pads came home, apologised and they were back on.

But Paddy’s mother Barbara disapproved of Mandy. Convinced Mandy would only make her son miserable, she paid Mandy to marry her cousin Butch who was hopelessly in love with her. Clearly not so in love with Paddy she couldn’t be bought, Mandy and Butch married in November 1998.

However Mandy was unable to ignore the fact she loved Paddy. They began an affair and she was disowned by the Dingles for cheating on Butch. But before too long, vet Paddy stepped in to deliver surprise baby Belle Dingle for Zak and Lisa and all was forgiven.

All smiles for about five minutes! (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Following her divorce from Butch in 1999, Mandy and Paddy got married.

Happiness didn’t last…

Before too long, Mandy started taking trips to Southampton to care for her sick dad. Paddy decided to surprise her there, but found her in a clinch with Caleb’s carer, Neil. Oops.

This was not what Paddy wanted to see his wife doing (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Mandy followed him back to Emmerdale and in a special two-hander episode opened up about her affair. She insisted she’d only slept with Neil once and it was because she had felt so worthless in past relationships.

Things got violent and we saw a side to Paddy we’d never seen before when Mandy challenged him. She asked him if he would have done the same if the roles were reversed and the pressure caused him to snap. He pinned her against a wall and screamed in her face that he hated her.

Mandy realised their marriage was over, but soon Paddy begged her to stay. Things escalated and they headed to the bedroom. However despite sleeping together, Paddy couldn’t act like he’d forgiven her.

This was a different side to Paddy (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

When he then realised she was only with him out of guilt and she actually loved Neil, he ordered Mandy to leave. She was devastated, but didn’t take much persuading. By 2001, she realised she wanted Paddy back. But seeing him with Emily and happy, she decided to leave him be.

A reunion for Mandy and Paddy in Emmerdale

Mandy returned 18 years later in 2019. Paddy was happily married to Chas, Mandy insisted she wasn’t there to come between them and all seemed well. Mandy even got engaged to her ex, Paul Ashdale, but he died on their wedding day and then she found out he had been abusing son Vinny, so the less said about him the better.

By 2022, Chas was exposed for having an affair with Al Chapman and Paddy spiralled into depression following their split. Mandy supported him and they eventually slept together again. It was clear Mandy had big, big feelings for him by this point, but he then went missing and planned to take his own life.

Mandy felt responsible, but Marlon and Chas managed to track him down and get him the help he needed before he was able to do anything. He was on the road to recovery, but nowhere near ready for a relationship with Mandy.

So she pined in private and outwardly played the caring friend. By June 2023, Mandy had got her wish and she and Paddy were back on.

Chas was the one who pulled away, not Paddy (Credit: ITV)

‘Cheating’ with Chas

Things hit a sticky patch when Chas was diagnosed with breast cancer and Paddy stood by her side. Unfortunately he took that support a bit too far when he kissed her.

Paddy came clean immediately and Mandy forgave him, but she then found out Chas ended the kiss not Paddy and heartbroken Mandy refused to have anything more to do with Paddy.

But Paddy managed to win her back with a grand proposal dressed as Prince Charming and they began planning their second wedding.Â

Mandy was quick to say yes after saying no before (Credit: ITV)

Second time lucky for Mandy and Paddy in Emmerdale?

It became obvious after a while that Mandy was not into planning the wedding. Then it was revealed that was because she is in mountains of debt and with a struggling salon, couldn’t afford to pay it off.

But she refused to tell Paddy, determined a Dingle woman sorts her own problems.

And sort them she has, by becoming a financial dominatrix! She shouts at men online and they pay her money for it. In just days Mandy has paid off her debts and made a killing, but then Bear found out after overhearing her at work – ew!

Although he agreed he would keep quiet, when he realised she was still doing it, he outed her to Paddy who then calls the wedding off.

As Mandy races to save her big day, will these two get wed a second time? Or are all the signs still there this will never be a lasting match?

Emmerdale tonight: Mandy’s wedding in jeopardy as Paddy finds out her sex secret and Victoria went a fish finger too far with John

Emmerdale tonight saw Bear expose Mandy to Paddy even after he promised not to. Seeing his bride-to-be selling herself online shook Paddy to the core as he declared he didn’t know if there would be a wedding.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s fish finger lunch impressed John, but her constant pushing to be a faaaamily did not, so he’s off. Or is he?

Here’s what went down in Emmerdale on Wednesday August 14.

Paddy knows everything – ouch (Credit: ITV)

Bear exposed Mandy

Now he knows Mandy’s secret, Bear questioned Paddy over whether he was doing the right thing. “It’s like going back to where I belong,” Paddy said of Mandy – sort of forgetting it didn’t work out last time.

Meanwhile Tracy caught Mandy mid-findom and was shocked. But Mandy insisted she’d almost cleared her debts and it was all brilliant. Blimey, three days work to clear off several credit cards plus the tax man – sign us up!

Bear then confronted Mandy, who desperately tried to explain herself. She begged him not to tell Paddy, and he did agree so as not to break his son’s heart. But he made Mandy promise she would pack it in immediately.

She agreed. But then she got one more offer of Â£300 from a new client and decided to take it to clear off that last bit of debt. Oh Mandy. If only she hadn’t got greedy, Paddy might never have known, but in fact the client was Bear who was trying to make sure she had quit like she promised.

When he realised she hadn’t, he showed Marlon, Chas and crucially Paddy what Mandy was doing. They were stunned and Paddy said he wasn’t sure he could go ahead with the wedding.

Victoria wouldn’t leave John alone

Victoria confided in Pollard about John’s attitude. But as they talked by Jack’s grave, Eric told her not to give up on him yet. So she gave him fish finger sandwiches for lunch and encouraged him to play football with Harry.

It seemed John was softening – apparently he’d eat fish fingers every day if he could. But then Victoria pushed again and it all went wrong. The offer of a beer and family movie night was a step too far. John decided he was done with life at Vic’s and he was off.

They way Victoria has been acting, we can’t really blame him.

Tom thinks he’s won – we really hope he hasn’t (Credit: ITV)

Tom’s still lurking

Tom was lurking in the cafÃ©, still bombarding Belle with texts. Stupidly, this time she replied and told him they needed to talk and that she was coming home tomorrow.

Tom immediately assumed it meant they were getting back together and short of packing his things and moving himself back home, he settled for letting himself in and sitting smugly with a glass of wine thinking he’d won.

Let’s hope a reunion is not what Belle wants to talk about. And him suffering a slow, painful death is.

Angel got aggressive

Jimmy and Nicola were worried sick about Angel, thinking someone had beaten her up and left her with serious injuries. Jimmy even decided to drive down to Bristol to find out exactly what was going on.

But he got halfway there and got a call to say what we already knew: Angel had started the fight, not been the victim. Jimmy said he’s fearful his darling angel was being turned into a bad girl inside, but we’re afraid to say we think she was on that road waaay before she went down!

5 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight including Bear exposing Mandyâ€™s sex work secret to Paddy and Tomâ€™s latest plan for Belle

In Emmerdale spoilers for Wednesday August 14, Bear tells Paddy his bride-to-be Mandy is a financial dominatrix! Will he call the wedding off?

Meanwhile, Tom hatches a plan to win back Belle’s heart, and John keeps pushing away from Victoria. It’s all going on in the village!

Emmerdale spoilers: Mandy has some explaining to do

Furious Bear wants to know why Mandy has been lying to Paddy (Credit: ITV)

1. Bear confronts Mandy

Bear is still reeling from the shock of discovering Mandy’s a financial dominatrix. But instead of telling Paddy, he decides to give Mandy the chance to explain her side of the story.

He confronts his daughter-in-law-to-be about her side hustle and demands to know what she’s playing at. Embarrassed, Mandy tries to justify her actions, explaining how she resorted to findom to fix her money woes.

Bear urges her to explain all this to Paddy, but infuriatingly she refuses to ‘fess up.

John continued to make enemies

In Emmerdale tonight, John continued to make enemies in the village. He headed to the garage to confront Cain about his van and quiz him about what happened.Â Having threatened to call the police, Cain was not impressed with John.

Mackenzie then attempted to apologise to John, but the pair did not settle their differences. Later, Mackenzie found John in the barn and attempted to hit him, as he thought he was stealing. However, John quickly defended himself.

Cain arrived and told Mackenzie that he’s offered John a job at the farm whilst he’s staying in the village. Mackenzie was not impressed, especially after Cain told him he would have to pay for the repairs to John’s van.

One person that was pleased to hear John is sticking around was Victoria. She was happy to know she’ll have more time to get know her half-brother. John was less enthused and insisted he will not be staying in the Dales for long. He later appeared unnerved when Victoria quizzed him about an army dog tag she’d found at home.

Bear discovered Mandy’s findom work

Mandy was super excited about her hen do, but she had other things to do before she could begin partying. She reluctantly agreed to fit Bear in at the salon for a trim, despite being inundated with findom work.

Amelia offered to take the appointment instead of Mandy and she quickly agreed. Unaware her laptop was still connected to the karaoke speaker, Bear heard the majority of Mandy’s findom call. He was left stunned by what he heard and struggled to compose himself in front of Mandy.

Later on, Bear began looking into financial domination. He found himself in a super awkward situation as he began discussing findom with Marlon. Bear was left torn over whether to tell Paddy about Mandy’s findom work or not. It’s not exactly the most comfortable of conversations to have with your son, is it?
