As Carl promised to get the tablet back, a moment saw him spot Isaac in the village with his mum Moira. He was with Tom and told Tom he'd ask him then and there for the device.
But Tom stopped him, obviously realising that if Moira knows about the iPad, she might realise her sister-in-law Belle needs to see it. Moira had seen the footage and left a message for Belle, telling her she had something bad to show her.
But Moira suffered a seizure following her recent brain tumour diagnosis, leading to her forgetting what she'd seen. She couldn't even remember her message for Belle, or that the iPad was in her house.
When Carl suggested they speak to Isaac with Moira, Tom realised it could stop him getting the iPad so he stopped Carl from running over. But he appeared to allude to a dark plan for the child, hinting at danger ahead as he vowed: "I'm sure I will think of something... don't say anything. I will deal with Isaac when I decide." So what will happen to Isaac?
