EPISODE OVERVIEW

1 Review | 7 Votes

Jo's blossoming romance with out-of-towner Travis Williams is cut short when PJ reveals Travis is a dangerous criminal put way for murdering his girlfriends. The vicious crime haunts PJ who arrested Travis and is immediately suspicious of his return to Mt. Thomas.
Tom warns Jo to dump the romance before she becomes too involved and jeopardises her job. He can't have a constable going out with a criminal, even if he is reformed. When a spate of vicious armed robberies against women are reported, PJ believes Travis is involved. Mindful of Jo's broken heart, Maggie provides a shoulder but counsels Jo to leave him. The promise of a new love never felt so lonely.
PJ keeps tabs on Travis who seems contrite and is certainly cooperative. He has returned to Mt. Thomas to start afresh and find work but PJ makes it clear—he expects Travis to leave town. Tom becomes uneasy with PJ's relentless pursuit of Travis and warns him to go by the book.
Jo struggles with her decision. She wants to believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Where Travis is concerned however, PJ cannot spare Jo's feelings and pushes her to end it by showing her shocking photos of Travis's dead girlfriend. Jo is deeply disturbed by the photos and Jack promises PJ he'll keep an eagle-eye on his lovelorn mate.
Jo confronts Travis over the murder. She wants to believe he didn't do it but there are strong doubts and the overwhelming conviction of her workmates to contend with. She tells him their relationship cannot continue.
Determined to win the Heelers over, Travis provides information on a planned armed robbery of the Imperial's takings but is bashed severely for turning informer. Feeling indebted, Chris gives him some work around the pub. PJ is furious to find Travis entrenched at the Imperial and remains convinced he is hatching some plan of vengeance.
The Heelers wonder if PJ has become unreasonably obsessed with Travis but what they haven't seen or heard is a private moment between the adversaries where Travis makes his intentions perfectly clear.
He spent five years in prison because of PJ and now PJ is going to pay for it.
