In Wednesday’s episode of Emmerdale, Belle Dingle went to visit her abusive ex in prison – but fans are confused that she failed to mention a key detail.

Tom made an unwelcome return to our screens this week and manipulated the chaplain into arranging a visit from Belle.

Convinced by her solicitor that visiting Tom King would speed up divorce proceedings, Belle headed to the prison. But she failed to mention one key detail and fans are baffled.

Belle visits Tom in prison in Emmerdale

In Wednesday’s episode of Emmerdale, Belle went to visit Tom in prison. He attempted to play the victim and even tried to gain Belle’s pity by telling her she was the only visitor he had had.

“I have changed, Belle, you must have thought that was a possibility, or you wouldn’t be here,” a delusional Tom told Belle, before telling her there was still something to save in their relationship, that they could still achieve something.

A defiant Belle told Tom the only thing they could achieve was a divorce. Tom informed Belle that she would have a scrap on her hands and that he would fight for everything. Belle was not scared though and told Tom: “You’ve underestimated me yet again.”

When Tom started to become aggressive, Belle told him: “You’ve been gone a long time. This divorce is just the cherry on top, and I’m having it!” Before leaving, she couldn’t resist smiling back at Tom. Go, Belle!

Fans baffled as Belle doesn’t mention Piper

Emmerdale fans took to social media to question why Belle didn’t tell Tom she’d got Piper the dog back.

Previously, Tom ran over Piper. He then lied to Belle that Piper had died, but really he’d given the dog away to another couple.

Belle was reunited with Piper on Christmas Day after Vinny and Gabby tracked her down. However, Belle failed to mention this fact to Tom.

“Belle should have told Tom she got Piper back. That’s her winning right there,” said one fan on X, with a second adding: “Thought Belle would’ve mentioned getting Piper back.”

A third fan shared their disappointment at the lack of a Piper mention, writing: “Oh Belle, you didn’t mention Piper to Tom!” 

“I so wanted [her] to say by the way piper says Hello, that would have sealed the whole ep,” wrote another fan on Instagram.

A fifth fan said: “I wanted her to say ‘oh and by the way I have Piper back’.” While a sixth fan agreed, writing: “I was expecting her to mention Piper to rub it in his face.”

Piper the Dog’s real fate has been confirmed in Emmerdale – and she’s alive! The adorable pup was believed to be dead after evil Tom deliberately ran her over, but it’s now been revealed she’s OK.

While Piper appears to have some injuries, at least she’s still with us. However, it remains to be seen if Belle will ever be reunited with her beloved dog.

Here’s everything you need to know about Piper in Emmerdale.

What happened to Piper?

Evil Tom has used Piper as a weapon against Belle ever since they got married. He knows how much Belle loves Piper, so has been deliberately mean to the poor dog. He previously locked her outside while he and Belle were in Wales and also once injected Piper to make her seem unwell.

In recent scenes, Tom deliberately hit Piper with his car while no one was around. He took her from Lydia and Sam’s house while they were out at the pub with Belle.

He then used Piper’s injuries as a way to get Belle to speak to him. Tom assured Belle he would do all he could to save Piper, however the following day he informed Belle that Piper was going to have to be put down. In heartbreaking scenes, Belle bid farewell to her beloved dog.

It wasn’t long until she came to the conclusion that Tom was to blame for Piper’s death. However, no one would listen to Belle’s accusations and instead took Tom’s side. How awful!

Emmerdale confirms Piper the Dog’s fate

Despite Piper having been ‘buried’ in heartbreaking scenes, it’s now been confirmed that she’s alive and well.

In a shock twist in Wednesday’s episode (August 21), Tom was seen handing over Piper to an unknown couple. The pair seemed to think they were rescuing the dog, seemingly unaware that Piper had actually been taken from Belle.

Tom made out that Piper’s previous owner was a horrible woman who had neglected the little dog. Can this guy stoop any lower?!

Meanwhile, Belle is unaware her dog is alive and still believes she buried her. However, she is convinced Tom is responsible for what happened to Piper and appears determined to expose him once and for all. Go Belle!
