Episode 177 — Letting Go

When Nick is called out to a minor car accident the last people he expects — or wants — to see are his parents. Victims of a minor hit and run, they are in Mount Thomas for a surprise visit. Klaus, Nick's father, makes a huge impression on the Heelers: this is a man who won't take no for an answer.

PJ has just received news that an Adelaide man suspected of brutally slaying his wife has used one of his credit cards in the area, so the Heelers should be on the lookout for him. PJ organises the team to alert all businesses in the area.

At the pub Klaus meets Wade Knight, the man he claims caused the accident. Klaus tries to start a fight but is dragged away by Nick. Nick brings his father and Wade into the station. PJ and Maggie discover that Wade is from Adelaide — could he be the murderer?

Dash aids PJ with the investigation into Wade's true identity. As they unravel his past they uncover a credit card scam that has penetrated both Victoria and South Australia. But the reason for Wade's crime is something no one has suspected and its discovery will put Dash in a life-threatening situation.

Meanwhile, Nick is starting to feel really concerned about his father. Evidence is beginning to indicate that Klaus may be responsible for the accident. It seems that Klaus' eyesight is failing but he is refusing to admit it. Nick understands his father's stubborn nature but now his health has deteriorated to a point where he is endangering his and others' lives. This causes tension between Nick and Klaus, putting pressure on an already strained relationship. Nick's bottled up feelings regarding his father's reactions to the death of his wife and child come boiling over. Will they be able to reconcile their differences or will Nick lose his parents forever?
