A long episode summary should be up soon!
PJ and Ben compete to win Maggie over by solving the mystery behind a lawyer's death, a missing finger and a $10 000 investment.
Maggie has convinced PJ to join her in buying a piece of investment land in her name. But when they arrive at the solicitor's office to collect the papers they find the solicitor dead. He has a gunshot wound to the head, the gun in his hand and a note on his computer which reads, 'I'm sorry I failed you all'. It seems undeniable that the solicitor has committed suicide. Have Maggie and PJ lost their $10 000?
They are both eager to begin an investigation into the matter but Tom will not allow Maggie to continue because of her personal involvement. However, PJ stays on the case, safe in the knowledge that his investment, like his relationship with Maggie, will remain a secret.
PJ does not hold great hopes of getting the money back, especially when it is suggested that the solicitor had a gambling problem. But Ben is anxious to help Maggie and vows to do everything he can to return her money. PJ sees this as a challenge and both men vie to be the first to find the funds and win Maggie's favour.
Meanwhile, not content to sit on her hands, Maggie heads back to the solicitor's office and discovers a second bullet in the wall. It seems that the solicitor was murdered.
The next of kin, Gerard, is informed of his brother's death, and when Maggie and PJ arrive at his office they discover he has been involved in a workplace accident. He was checking a printing press, slipped and had his finger cut off. They take the very uncooperative Gerard to hospital only to discover that the severed finger they thought was packed in ice, and the valuable ring that was on it, are missing.
Gerard is more concerned that the Heelers find his ring than the killer of his brother. But when Gerard's business partner vanishes, PJ wonders if he may have stolen the ring as part of his revenge on Gerard. Or is this an elaborate plot to hide that finger that matches a telltale print at the scene of the murder? As the Heelers search for the truth Maggie and PJ believe that even if they solve the case they may never see their $10 000 again.
