PJ is inconsolable when the Heelers discover Maggie's missing car in flames with a charred body inside. The Heelers call a full-scale investigation when Maggie goes missing after delving into the drug ring that killed her brother Robbie. Warned against trying to break the syndicate, Maggie refused to listen. Now she is in real danger.
PJ's fears for Maggie's safety escalate when the body of a young boy is found. They learn he had hoped to become the syndicate's local dealer and had made contact with Maggie. Overwrought, PJ blames Ben for giving Maggie the leads to investigate the ring. The tension between them mounts as they struggle to find her. When St Davids sends reinforcements, Inspector Draper and Detective Sergeant Craig, PJ is suspended from the case. It is all too apparent to the Heelers and his district superiors that PJ's relationship with Maggie goes far beyond the professional. Even Tom can hide his knowledge no longer.
Unable to pursue her trail officially, PJ teams with up with her father Pat to find Maggie. Pat is way ahead on his own enquiries and tells PJ that the force has been infiltrated by a crooked cop known to the syndicate as 'Babe'. While Babe is in action, the drug trade flows free. Pat's deep throats suspect Inspector Monica Draper of being involved, but informers also place Maggie in the picture.
When the Heelers learn that Maggie had arranged to see the syndicate's new dealer, they race to stake out the meeting. But what they find is beyond comprehension: Maggie's car in flames and the charred remains of a body inside. PJ is inconsolable as the Heelers grasp their last hope and await the autopsy.
