Tom is later shocked, when he sees Gordon's daughter Jude Cunningham (Davinia Taylor) is back in the village, and never forgave her for not being there for him since he was young, but Jude told him that she left the village in 1998 to go on the run, due to her being involved in multiple fraud schemes. Tom is devastated when Jade dies from cancer and helps the Osbornes grieve. At the "Halloween Spooktacular" set up by Jude, Tom is angry to discover that it is all a scam and that Jude was going to leave him again. Nico confronts Tom and blames him for getting in the way of her and Peri. She attacks him with a globe and tries to kill him but Jude comes in and saves him. At the hospital, him and Peri, who was also targeted by Nico, make up.
