EPISODE OVERVIEW

0 Reviews 0 Votes

The Heelers are called to the site of a demonstration against a proposed resort development in Widgeree. While they manage to allay the demonstrators' activities, emotions run high when the owners of the proposed development find themselves at a "Murder Mystery" weekend with the head of the demonstrators. The tension heightens with Maggie also attending the weekend for the hospital's Children's Wing charity, with PJ.
As the plot of the Murder Mystery Weekend unravels so does the fabric of a number of the players' lives. The head of the development is attacked in the cellar of the Imperial and the site is vandalised. This leads to an investigation that brings the development's viability into question. The Heelers must discover whether it was the demonstrators who damaged the site or if there are others with a more complex motive. PJ is confronted by his past. There is something naggingly familiar about the game's coordinator. PJ discovers he was the informer that disappeared before clearing PJ of corruption while working with the Regional Gaming Squad. This could now be PJ's chance to clear his record. PJ's involvement in the Mystery Weekend forces Maggie to confront her feelings for him. They have been cast as honeymooners—Maggie is unsure whether to let the romance of the situation engulf her and return to PJ's arms. Much to PJ's disappointment, the turbulent events of the weekend conspire against his reunion with Maggie; it seems there are more obstacles to their passion than he had anticipated. A hole in the cellar floor and an intriguing stranger lead to more than Chris Riley bargains. Her new guest promises romance but when she refuses his advances he reveals he is one of her ex-husband's partners. He owes some serious people a lot of money and has come to the pub to collect. Their confrontation leads to a life-threatening episode for Chris and tests the Heelers ability to deal with such an intense situation. Add a recap »
