Sam Baxter, a troubled 15 year old girl, is found breaking in to her mother's store. Her mother, who is tired of this, wants her to be charged. Jo thinks she just wants attention and begins to believe everything Sam says, including that it is her parent's fault. Her criminal father arrives in town and her mother doesn't want anything to do with him but Sam likes him.

Instead of being charged, Sam is let off with a warning and has to help an elderly member of Grace's parish, Olive Hemmings, with her housework. Surprisingly the two hit it off and Jo's faith in the girl is restored. But when Olive doesn't turn up at church, she is found bleeding in her house. Someone broke in and stole $2000. A young female called the ambulance and they soon find out it is Sam, staying at her adult boyfriend's house. Sam pushed her over cause she was "in the way". Her mother is sure she is ending up like her father. Jo can't believe that the girl she trusted did this.

Meanwhile, Jo's parents arrive in town to see her and at the time of their 30th wedding anniversary, Jo arranges dinner in a special rookm at the pub but there is a lot to do before then. Sam's mother tries to get rid of Sam, she doesn't want to live with her anymore. Jo uses harsh tactics to try and get Sam to return the money, but the girl won't even say she is sorry. But when her dad won't even let her stay with him (he is moving on soon) she is frustrated and pretends to be sorry, Olive lets her stay there. Yet Sam's dad has come into some money and the Heelers think Sam may have given her father that.

Jo discovers that her parents are separating, that is the reason they came to see her. She can't understand why they would do this to her, but PJ tells her it is better than actually losing them. When someone breaks into Sam's dads caravan and then the money suddenly reappears in Olive's house, Jo realises Sam is getting back at her father.

However, the Heelers soon discover the truth. Sam promised her boyfriend the money and he has kidnapped Sam and Olive. Jo manages to get them back and finds out Sam risked her life to save Olive. As Jo sees Sam's mother in agony over her daughter's future she begins to understand that her parents still love her, and that although they may have made mistakes she will always be their "princess".
