PJ is stepping out in style—back in uniform as the Acting Sergeant. But this isn't the only change at Mt. Thomas police station. A new member has arrived; acting CI Deborah Hill and none of the Heelers seems able to make a good impression on her.
Deborah is currently suing another member, Sgt. Bill Parker, for sexual harassment and tensions increase when she catches the Heelers talking about it behind her back. Deborah is taking over a case from PJ; a series a warehouse burglaries. PJ believes that a local, Johnny Rossitano, is behind them. He explains to Deborah that he has spoken to Rossitano's girlfriend, April, who has told him that Johnny has teamed up with two out-of-towners, Sean and Michael Murphy. The trio are planning to hit a warehouse tonight. Deborah doesn't think much of PJ's techniques or his information.
PJ and Deborah continue to clash as they prepare to stake out the warehouse that night. Tom realises that something has to be done and so tells PJ to back off. When it comes to the actual stake-out, everything goes shockingly wrong for the Heelers. Deborah is pushed off a landing at the warehouse. When she is released from hospital with a few good bumps and bruises. She thinks Nick was the one who pushed her! She claims that Nick always had it in for her because she blew the whistle on his mate Bill Parker. Tom tries to dissuade her but she is adamant. She sends her jacket off to forensics, sure that prints of Nick's hands will be on the back of it.
Meanwhile, PJ is still pushing for further investigation into Johnny Rossitano's activities and Deborah has begun her own enquiries. With help from the other Heelers, she begins to uncover more evidence against Rossitano and the Murphys. The big source of information is April. When she goes missing, and Chris is sure she heard cries for help, Deborah and PJ fear that an investigation into burglary may turn into one of murder. Add a recap »
