Emmerdale spoilers follow from Monday's episode (November 4), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX but hasn't yet aired on ITV1.
Emmerdale has revealed Tom King's sly new plan as his dark storyline continues.
The ITV soap has confirmed that Tom is manipulating his uncle Jimmy, hoping to maintain his sympathy amid ongoing tensions with the Dingle family.
Last week, someone vandalised Tom's car after the police released him without charge following another interview regarding his abuse of wife Belle.
In Monday's episode, things appeared to get worse for Tom as Laurel Thomas found him in a bloodied state outside the church, claiming to have been attacked.

Tom refused to go to A&E or involve the police, explaining that he didn't see the culprit who'd targeted him.
This immediately cast a shadow of suspicion over the Dingles, who remain outraged over the lack of justice for Belle.
The real story became clear in the closing moments of the episode, as Tom headed off for a secretive meeting with his solicitor friend Ollie.
Ollie immediately complained: "I've got a splinter from whacking you with that branch."

Tom quipped: "Well, I wish mine was just a splinter. But it was worth it."
Ollie appeared to be having doubts over the convoluted plan, telling Tom that there are easier ways for him to win sympathy.
Tom replied: "Well, smashing up my car only worked a bit. And the hate messages – well, they weren't going to cut it."
A nervous Ollie suggested that it might be time for Tom to find a new solicitor, but Tom turned nasty and threatened to use some leverage he has over Ollie unless he carried on cooperating.
Tom suggested a "back-up plan" – legal or otherwise – in case his situation gets worse. Will he manage to stay one step ahead of the Dingles?
