Mussette, the woman A-M had hired to deceive Eleni was back. She wanted more money for she'd done once she found out what it did for A-M. But A-M wanted no more to do with her and hired a man to stop her, Pierre. But Pierre wasn't the best of hitmen/spies. His big plan for getting rid of Mussette, who recently showed up in Springfield and even befriended Eleni was to blow her up.

Pierre put a bomb in Mussette's car. But some complications came along the way, like the fact that Eleni's car was in the same parking garage and when A-M found this out he freaked. Mallet had also stumbled upon what was going on and went to try to stop Mussette from opening her car door and exploding herself to pieces. But something worse happened. Even though Eleni got away before the bomb went off, Mallet got there right as Mussette opened her door. The bomb went off right in front of Mussette and Mallet.

Mallet was rushed to the hospital ... in grave condition. Mussette was dead. Harley was a wreck, and so was A-M, because all he knew was a dark haired woman had been hurt as well, but it wasn't his precious Eleni. A tough time was ahead: Mallet couldn't walk and he couldn't hear. His only communication with Harley was him seeing her lips move.

Some touching moments were held as Harley tried to be there for him. His paralysis might be permanent and if not he maybe be sterile. He was give a hearing ear dog (Xyla) to assist him in every day living.

Mallet was crushed and decided the best thing to do was to break it off with Harley, for her own good. Harley was crushed, she had no idea why Mallet would cut her off when he needed her the most. But soon Mallet and Harley were back together and decided to move in together. Mallet who was now confined to a wheelchair tried to be his old self but couldn't. Soon his hearing returned.

Harley and Mallet moved into the old Firehouse on Fifth Street.

Then all of A-M secrets were unleashed. Pierre was back ready to destroy A-M and anybody in his way. In a daring shoot-out at the airport: Harley, A-M, Mallet and Nick Spaulding stop Pierre. The police arrive and ask what's going on, Nick wants to turn A-M in for the explosion that killed Mussette and hurt Mallet, but Mallet stops him. A-M had saved Harley's life and took a bullet for her. Mallet and Harley kept quiet.

On Xmas day Mallet's present to Harley was the fact that he could take a few steps, and now he was on his way to walking on his own.

Then Mallet did something he never thought he would: he proposed and Harley gladly accepted .

Soon Mallet was just being helped with crutches and followed His fiancée, Harley to Washington D.C. to visit the war memorial so she could see her father's name. While there Mallet officially proposed where Harley again accepted. But now another question arose? Where was Harley's father?

All those years Frank and Harley believed their father Frank Buzz Cooper Sr. had died in Vietnam were lives. When Harley couldn't find his name anywhere on the wall she had to find out from her mother Nadine. Buzz had been MIA and she didn't want to give them any false hope so she said he died.

Harley began a search for her father that almost cost her relationship with Mallet, but luckily they survived. The couple prepared to elope, but couldn't go through with it.

When Nadine's cousin Rex showed up in town no one thought anything of it, except Mallet. Rex was strange, but really Rex was none other than Buzz, who had been back in the States since '77. With slight reconstructive surgery he was almost unrecognizable to Nadine, but she knew who he was.

When Harley & Frank finally found out who Rex was they were hurt, but soon accepted Buzz into their lives. Harley & Mallet soon became second fiddle as Frank & Eleni who had once again found each other were getting married. Even as Eleni was expecting their child any day.

Harley & Mallet were the maid of honor and best man and were also named god parents of Marina, Frank & Eleni's daughter born just hours after they exchanged vows.

Then Harley's former fiancée returned to Springfield and Harley made it clear she was with the man of her dreams.

David Grant, who worked at Harley's family's diner: Meals & Wheels was on the run for murdering a neighborhood racist. But David was only defending himself. Though Harley & Mallet believed in his innocence they had to do their job, at David's trial it was revealed that he was innocent and he was released. Upon this good news, Buzz had some more good news. He wanted to throw his daughter a surprise wedding.

So finally after Eleni gave Harley her wedding dress, the guests assembled, and Harley wearing her big clunky police shoes, the couple married in what was the most romantic wedding ever. Some may have called it tacky, but it never lacked emotion and love. Soon afterward Harley and Mallet boarded a plane for Florida to begin their honeymoon, where they stayed and joined the police force.
