Blue Heelers

Tom Croydon is suspended from duty pending a coroner's inquest into a murder he's suspected of commiting, and Mark Jacobs has taken control of the station; Nick Schultz is back helping PJ with the murder investigation, but it seems young Kelly is the only person who truly believes in Tom's innocence

Tom is now definitely a murder suspect, and PJ and Nick must investigate in spite of Tom's unwillingness to cooperate. Only Kelly keeps faith in Tom, despite his rejection of her open displayof trust in him.

Tom is back in charge of the Mt Thomas Police Station and soon makes it clear who is boss. Clearly unhappy with Mark's appointment of his friend as Acting Sergeant in his absence, Tom makes life very difficult for the new recruit.

Amy suspects that the death of a baby, apparently of SIDS, is in fact infanticide.

PJ and Amy comfort a mother and her teenage boy after a vicious home invasion.

While Kelly and Joss are trying to resurrect the Blue Light sports team, they find a kidselling heroin.

Alex and Susie suspect a schoolteacher is having an affair with a young schoolboy; Joss returns a drunk man to the wrong address; and Alex gets the idea Jonesy isn't interested in Susie and makes his own play.

Jonesy and Susie are searching for a missing child when they learn a sex offender is on the loose -has he abducted the child?; Kelly is outraged by a shop assistant who is forced to wear a provocative T-shirt and is sexually assaulted by a customer; Amy obviously has history with the homicide detective Garth Henderson, who arrives in town to help with a murder investigation.

PJ, Amy and Garth are investigating the brutal murder of a young woman when a second body is discovered, killed in a similar style -a serial killer is at work in Mt Thomas and the Heelers must move fast before he strikes again.

PJ and Amy find a link between two of the women almost certainly murdered by a serial killer -their psychologist Bill Lapscott, who runs a therapy group for sexual abuse victims.
