When do maggie and pj get together

It was a very small space to work in, and we were covered in dust. She admits that working on Blue Heelers during the day and performing every night in A Little Night Music was exhausting. Loading Comments Email Required Name Required Website. Jeremy Kewley appears for the first time as reporter Tony Timms, taking over the character from Andrew Russell who appeared in just two episodes.

The Tomminellos "two ems, one en, two els" appeared previously in episode 3. A baby disappears in suspicious circumstances, but only Adam believes the mother's story when she claims the child was kidnapped. The woman's credibility is questioned when not a single picture of the infant can be found.

Crime Scene call in with news of the discovery of what seems to be a shallow grave in the couple's backyard, but the only thing the Heelers find buried there is an apparatus for faking a pregnancy. As investigations continue, the mother's sister turns up at the station and tells Tom she holds grave fears for her sister's sanity. It turns out the mother was a successful journalist who had a nervous breakdown following a well publicised "close encounter" with alien beings.

Could it be the mother has done something to the baby? Was there a baby at all? Or was it all a product of the woman's fevered imagination? Adam and Nick find themselves at odds over Adam's support for the woman. A bond forms between the mother and Adam and she extracts a promise from the young constable that he will leave no stone unturned to find her child.

The Heelers find themselves called to a domestic dispute at the woman's house, only to discover her husband has been trying to get her to sign a Power of Attorney and she is throwing him out.

Adam believes this is part of an elaborate plan to permanently relieve the woman of her money, but her husband claims he was acting only out of love and concern — someone has to pay the bills while his wife is ill!

After a chance encounter at the pub, Adam finds an unlikely ally in Nick, but just as he is finally convincing the others, the woman is found unconscious in her bedroom from an overdose of tranquillisers. Adam doesn't believe the mother is the suicidal type and points the finger at the husband. Nick comes up with some interesting information about the man's background and a fishing expedition at the Imperial Hotel reveals an interesting liaison.

The Heelers are now working on a conspiracy between the husband and the mother's sister, but will they get to the baby in time or will it be too late? With the plans of the conspirators already unravelling, Zoe calls from the hospital to say that the baby's mother is awake. The Heelers are now hot on the trail and track the husband and sister to a holiday cottage in the bush.

But Adam still has a couple of unwelcome surprises ahead of him before the case is closed. When local farmer Jack Buckley wins Oz Lotto, the patrons at the Imperial are truly delighted for him.

His family have been struggling with their farm for as long as anyone can remember, and Jack dreams of using the money to pay off the bank and keep the farm in the family for future generations.

The next day, however, Jack claims his winning ticket has been stolen, but PJ becomes skeptical because there is some doubt that the ticket ever existed — the newsagent didn't sell it to him, and his family can't remember seeing it. Maybe the old man really is going senile? But Maggie takes the old man's side, and even though PJ has dismissed the case as a uniform matter, Maggie's insistence that Jack is right keeps PJ interested.

If there was a ticket, who might have taken it? Jack blames the "vultures" who came to the farm equipment auction the day before, but thus far nobody has tried to claim the prize. One of the people at the auction was Adam, who bought an old cradle to do up for the baby he is eagerly awaiting. Stacey, however, doesn't share his enthusiasm for old furniture, preferring everything new for the baby.

She is clearly bored by herself at the pub, and uses the excuse of not feeling well to get Adam home from work to see her. When PJ and Maggie are called out to an intruder at the Buckley farm, and find Jack's sister Dot fighting with Rich over an old Lotto ticket found in the chook scraps, it looks more certain that there was a ticket and his family deliberately misled the police. They decide to question the family and soon discover a mass of secrets and hidden reasons for stealing the ticket. Sister Dot resents the fact that Jack inherited the farm and she got nothing, Georgina, his eighteen-year-old granddaughter, is desperate for attention and money since her parents split up, and finally his son, Stephen, wants to put his father into a retirement village and has been talking to developers about the land.

Matters come to a head with a fire at the Buckley's which burns down the old stables and destroys Georgina's much-loved horse. Stephen blames his father's senility for starting the fire, but Maggie overhears a heartfelt apology which gives her a clue as to the real identity of the ticket thief. One man's dream, it seems, can be a nightmare for somebody else. Meanwhile, Adam ignores Stacey's latest call for help to attending the fire investigation.

Then he discovers this one was for real, she has been rushed to hospital and is miscarrying. He is overcome with guilt as Stacey loses the baby. But then he learns some information which shatters his own dreams of future happiness. Nick hasn't shown up for the start of his shift and a worried Maggie reports to Tom that he is not at the Watchhouse Keeper's residence either. Later it is discovered he has been at the home of Danielle Carter, an ex-prostitute at the centre of a major criminal trial in Mt Thomas.

While this draws sniggers from his uniformed colleagues, PJ fails to see the humour. It will be hard enough to get a conviction for the rape of an ex-crow without Nick's personal involvement complicating the case. Dash is appalled to receive a love letter from crusty old farmer Keith Purvis only to find this is yet another of Nick's practical jokes. Nick thinks it's Dash getting her own back when he receives a note from a "love sick secret admirer" suggesting an rendezvous in the park.

Nick ignores the letter only to receive a much more threatening missive — his shredded clothing smeared with blood. Quite obviously, this is no practical joke, so who is stalking Nick? Maggie and PJ suspect Danielle when she turns up at the station with a heavily bandaged hand, but Nick is having none of it. Danielle needs reassurance about her decision to give evidence in the case. Will the jury take the word of an ex-prostitute accusing a respectable married man of rape? Her confidence is further undermined when she finds herself suspected of stalking Nick.

Her refusal to give a sample of her handwriting does nothing to quell Maggie and PJ's mistrust. To the Heelers' consternation Nick continues to offer Danielle his unqualified support and their relationship continues to grow.

Just when Nick thought things couldn't get much worse, Monica Draper arrives to investigate an anonymous allegation of sexual harassment against him. What should be a straight forward investigation turns sour when Nick's history as a prankster comes back to haunt him.

When Monica asks him about his relationship with Danielle, Nick refuses to answer, it's none of her business. Monica issues an ultimatum, answer the question by the end of his shift or face disciplinary charges. But the Heelers soon have other worries. Nick unwittingly puts Maggie in the firing line with his larrikin sense of humour.

While PJ wants to protect her, Maggie thinks his time would be better spent finding the person making the threats. PJ reluctantly leaves her in the care of Dash, but the stalker already has her target in sight and it doesn't take long before she is given the opportunity to strike. The Heeler's, meanwhile, discover the identity of the stalker, but it could be too late for Maggie who is now facing a knife wielding fanatic in the living room of her home.

Thomas is about to enjoy the rustic poetry of Banjo Paterson in a way they'll never forget On patrol, Adam and Dash encounter Errol the Feral walking into town with a box of organic produce for sale. The main purpose of Erol's trip to town is to make a court appearance — on marijuana possession charges.

Erol had actually turned up at the police station previously to report his marijuana plants stolen! An interstate truckdriver heading for the New South Wales border enters Mt.

Thomas police station with some alarming news — his truck has been stolen along with a load of cigarettes worth nearly a million dollars. PJ is interviewing the truckdriver when Colin Ducker enters — a slick, mobile-phone-wielding Senior Investigator from the security division of the cigarette company, Fletcher-Rolfe International.

Colin Ducker is there to catch the thief of the missing load pronto and insists that he's permitted to sit in on PJ's interview. When PJ shows resistance due to Colin Ducker's smug, fast-tracking attitude, Ducker play's his trump card: the head of Fletcher-Rolfe is an ex-Assistant Commissioner who has secured a company policy stating that police must give full cooperation in all matters requiring investigation.

Tom persuades PJ to play the game Colin Ducker's way, or there'll most certainly be trouble from upstairs. Meanwhile, feeling sorry for the dreadlocked and barefoot hippy, Errol, the Heelers attempt to help him smarten up his appearance before he faces court.

Dash and Adam accompany him to St. Vinnie's for some "respectable" clothing and footwear of any description. They try to convince him that the dreadlocks should go and take him off to visit Victor, the local Russian barber.

Errol is sure spiritual chaos will befall him if he is shorn, and he is not far wrong. Nick takes his amateur theatrics to hair-yanking extremes with his relentless Shultz-style rehearsal of " The Man from Ironbark ".

Banjo Paterson would surely be rolling or laughing in his grave. The Heelers eventually uncover the cigarette mystery through good, solid, old-fashioned police work much to the high-flying Ducker's chagrin , revealing a carefully plotted scam. Maggie finds herself becoming personally involved when a Polish woman, Ivona, arrives at the police station, escorted by an irate taxi driver demanding payment.

Ivona's grasp of English only extends to "Daughter", and Maggie realises the daughter must be in Mt. Ivona has an address for some people by the name of McPhee, so the logical place to start the investigation is there. Maggie and PJ quickly discover the situation isn't as straight forward as it looks — Danusha, Ivona's daughter, is an exchange student, whose host family were the McPhees, but she's no longer staying there.

The Heelers are directed to a new family, the Barnses, who Danusha met through a school friend, Mandy. Their parents are both away, leaving Mandy's older brother, Jason in charge of the house. Trying to trace Danusha, the Heelers investigate school records, both families, and the coordinator of the student exchange program. Unfortunately, no one seems to know where she is, or feel any Duty of Care for her. Jason Barnes also found Danusha attractive, but is he telling the truth about the last time he saw her?

The discovery of Danusha's passport under Jason's bed leads him to confess he left Danusha near the National Park after he forced his attentions on her, and she demanded that he stop. He had felt that leaving her there would teach her a lesson, and Mandy tried to cover for him. Will the Heelers find Danusha alive and be able to reunite mother and daughter? Or will they discover a shallow grave instead? Tom becomes worried when his schoolteacher daughter, Susan, fails to arrive in Mt.

She was driving up from Melbourne to take up a temporary posting at the town's primary school. Dash and Adam discover Susan Croydon's car abandoned on the roadside. It has been involved in an accident with another car, also abandoned, and there is no sign of either driver. Bryan Maxwell, Andy's older brother, comes to the police station, anxious about Andy's failure to arrive at the family farm.

Tom has just about convinced himself that Andy has done Susan harm when the missing pair are found — they were only hiking for help after the side-swipe accident which Susan insists was her fault. To Tom's chagrin his daughter has struck up a friendship with this dubious young man and invites him home for dinner. Bryan, the brother, invites himself too. Conversation after the meal takes a sinister turn when Andy holds forth with some morbid details from the history of hanging. It seems to be a hobby of his.

Tom tries to prevent Susan from having any further contact with Andy Maxwell after discovering he was accused of murder a few years before, but his daughter is too stubborn to listen and goes off on a picnic with Andy while Tom works fast to find out all he can about the murder case.

Jodi Dunn, the sister of the dead girl, is interviewed and remains convinced Andy murdered Michelle Dunn in a fit of rage after being dropped as her boyfriend. Bryan Maxwell is interviewed and is concerned to hear Andy is out with Susan. The impression grows that Andy is a timebomb and Susan might be his next victim. Maggie and Nick round up Andy and the unharmed Susan. Andy, although under stress, sticks to his story.

However, the Heelers have discovered a lie about his movements on the day of the murderand Homicide is contacted to reopen their investigation. Meanwhile, the second of two disturbing burglaries occurs in Mt. Thomas, each involving the strangulation of a dog. In one case, a real dog is killed with a cord, in the other a toy dog is found hanging from a noose.

There is a strong link here with Andy Maxwell, whose dog breeding aunt, Nita Maxwell, blamed Andy for hanging three of her best breeders from a tree the last time the boy was in the area.

There's yet another alarm for Tom Croydon when he finds that Susan has departed from his house, leaving behind an angry note and no clue where she's gone.

The next day he starts a worried hunt to trace her. Where has Susan gone and is her life in danger? All the Heelers know is that the murderer is poised to strike again. Can they find him before he claims another victim? Maggie and PJ are embroiled in a series of burglaries, which look as though they're originating from the school where Susan, Tom's daughter, is assisting as a relief teacher. PJ has analysed every possible link between the burgled houses.

After eliminating the Juicy Rooster Chicken delivery man he is left with no alternative but to investigate the school. While Susan has her hands full with students such as Chloe Bassetti, who stole valuable coins out of her desk and tried to hock them, PJ is convinced that an assignment Susan set was designed to find out details of where valuables are kept in the kids' houses.

Susan isn't happy being the immediate suspect but the Heelers can't forget her somewhat chequered past. She finally explains that it wasn't her that set the assignment, but the principal of the school, Guy Ashfield, a problem gambler who has previously been investigated for embezzling funds. Guy pleads innocence, and when a locket is found at the scene of a recent break-in, it seems he's telling the truth — it's traced back to Chloe's mother, Domenica Bassetti.

Unfortunately for the Heelers, it seems Domenica has disappeared — and neither Chloe or her older sister Natalie, know where she is. A huge attempt at tracking down Domenica leads the police no closer to finding her — until PJ starts trying to get information from Natalie. He's sure Domenica is using the girls to cover for her, and finally Susan suggests that she mind the girls overnight and radio the Heelers when Domenica arrives.

Unfortunately, the girls are gone and there's no sign of Domenica — however, another burglary has been attempted, and the burglar was female. She was also shot by Henry Biggins, a man who believes it's his right to protect his home by whatever means necessary.

However, when the Heelers find the burglar, they're shocked to discover that it's not Domenica Bassetti at all. The burglar's real identity and Domenica's fate are more intriguing than anyone could've guessed.

Note: by all accounts this is just Jane Harber's second tv role, her first being in The Last of the Ryans which aired in April She is perhaps most well-known for her roles in Neighbours , The Moodys , and Offspring.

Maggie is on a private visit to the panel beater's shop when her attention is drawn to a small car sitting on top of a pile of pallets. The car belongs to Molly, the sole female employee of the shop who is stoically enduring the actions of her colleagues. While the Heelers persuade the boys to return the vehicle to its owner, Maggie and Dash believe Molly has been the victim of systematic victimisation and with Tom's consent they return to the shop to warn off the foreman and his mates, but their pleas fall on deaf ears.

They are soon back at the shop in answer to a fire alarm only to find a soaked Molly who has set off the sprinkler system after being locked in the changing rooms. It seems someone has stolen the boss' keys to shut her in, but were they just intending to keep Molly trapped or were they keeping her on ice for other, more sinister reasons?

A description from the locksmith leads the Heelers to a young apprentice in the shop. When questioned by the Heelers, the boy not only admits doing the deed, but seems proud of it. Meanwhile, the foreman's brother has returned to town from Queensland. To Adam's chagrin, he turns out to be Stacey's old boyfriend and she wastes no time renewing his acquaintance. Stacey decides to try and save her marriage by playing the two males off against one another.

Adam is irritated when he discovers the two have been to the movies together and retaliates by stopping the ex-boyfriend in his car and doing a thorough roadworthy test.

This backfires when the ex-boyfriend complains, landing Adam in hot water with the boss. There is more trouble at the panel beater's when some spray paint equipment is sabotaged, seriously injuring one of the workers. The person who mixes the paint and had the greatest opportunity to sabotage turns out to be Damian, the male apprentice. However, when PJ goes to interview him, he discovers Damian has absconded from the scene — guilty behaviour indeed! The young man's despair has driven him to desperate measures, but Maggie talks him out of doing something drastic.

The Heelers must now determine whether he is the culprit or just another victim. Adam and Dash are out on patrol when he sees Stacey's ex-boyfriend's car parked outside the Imperial Hotel. Adam, hot-headedly rushes inside where he discovers Stacey in a highly compromising situation.

He resists the temptation to resolve the matter with his fists, but on the way out, Adam spots Damian drinking with his mates. The Heelers have already spoken to the boy but Adam doesn't know this and he tries to order him back to the station for questioning.

An ugly confrontation ensues, ending with a major injury and Adam's career in tatters. Note: two alumni from Round The Twist feature in this episode, Joelene Crnogorac and Nick Mitchell, both from series 2 of the popular kids' series. PJ and Maggie are called to the U Wreck panel repair works where the foreman, Jeff Dimmock, lies injured outside — a victim of a hit-run driver.

Dimmock is a feared bully with any number of enemies who must be regarded as suspects but Dimmock himself believes the culprit to be Molly Beggs, one of two apprentices whose lives at work have been marred by the culture of torment and vicious practical jokes. While PJ and Maggie begin their investigations, another mystery surrounds one of the Heelers themselves — Adam Cooper is missing. The pressures mounting recently in Adam's married life as well as a disaster in his career give Tom Croydon and Nick Schultz some unease about whether he may have suicided.

Dash McKinley does not believe Adam would suicide over the misbehaviour of his wife, Stacey. From slender clues, Dash uses her detailed knowledge of the Mt. Thomas landscape to work out where Adam may have gone.

She and Nick discover Adam in the bush, lying near death with a bullet in his chest and his own gun in his hand. It certainly looks like a suicide attempt. Meanwhile, Maggie and PJ are narrowing the field in their hunt for the hit-and-run driver — who proves to be someone unexpected.

Dash persuades Inspector Monica Draper to be allowed to look over the crime scene where Adam was discovered, she believes he was ambushed by an unknown gunman. They discover blood near some car tracks and further down the track, a car has slid into the bush. Inside is the badly wounded Brad Dimmock, who gasps out the accusation that "Cooper shot me". Adam certainly had some motivation.

Brad, the brother of Jeff Dimmock, is his wife's lover, and the real father of the unborn baby Stacey lost. Adam revives in hospital, and gives the story of the ambush Brad had staged, intending it to look like a suicide. Brad himself does not recover from the wound Adam gave him in self-defence. Brad's death leaves Dash McKinley tracing the full plot against Adam.

The truth she discovers is tough for everyone to take. The Heelers are called to the site of a demonstration against a proposed resort development in Widgeree.

While they manage to allay the demonstrators' activities, emotions run high when the owners of the proposed development find themselves at a "Murder Mystery" weekend with the head of the demonstrators. As the plot of the Murder Mystery Weekend unravels, so does the fabric of a number of the players' lives. The head of the development is attacked in the cellar of the Imperial and the development site is vandalised, all of which leads to an investigation that brings the development's viability into question.

The Heelers must discover whether it was the demonstrators who damaged the site or if there are others with a more complex motive. PJ is confronted by his past when he recognises something naggingly familiar about the game's coordinator. PJ discovers he was the informer that disappeared before clearing PJ of corruption while working with the Regional Gaming Squad.

This could now be PJ's chance to clear his record. PJ's involvement in the Mystery Weekend forces Maggie to confront her feelings for him. They have been cast as honeymooners — Maggie is unsure whether to let the romance of the situation engulf her and return to PJ's arms. Much to PJ's disappointment, the turbulent events of the weekend conspire against his reunion with Maggie, it seems there are more obstacles to their passion than he had anticipated. A hole in the cellar floor and an intriguing stranger lead to more than Chris Riley bargains.

Her new guest promises romance but when she refuses his advances he reveals he is one of her ex-husband's partners. He owes some serious people a lot of money and has come to the pub to collect. Their confrontation leads to a life-threatening episode for Chris and tests the Heelers ability to deal with such an intense situation.

Nick and Dash arrive at Betty Freer's funeral to pay their respects, but instead they find her two sons fighting in her grave. Alex Freer is the younger son, and has been working on the family's free-range farm since his father's death.

When the older son, Jerry, returns home from America wishing to make some changes to the farm, an intense feud erupts. The fight at the funeral is a symptom of the mounting tension within the family. When Mrs. Freer's bedroom is ransacked and her jewellery stolen, PJ and Maggie become involved in the investigation. Was Jerry Freer simply trying to scare his brother off the land, or is it a straightforward case of theft?

This is soon accompanied by the theft of two thousand dollars worth of feed. Dash manages to find a lead — the Freers' neighbour Griff Hoekstra, a pig farmer, seems to have sufficient motive presenting itself in the form of forcing the Freers to sell. The plot begins to heat up when Jerry Freer's son is almost killed. PJ must make some headway soon before someone really is killed. Who is the perpetrator hiding in the one place that PJ has as yet not checked?

At the same time, Nick is absorbed in compiling receipts for his tax return and removing Adam's stitches. PJ is thoroughly impressed by Nick's stunning accountant, much to Maggie's distress.

But why is she curiously uninterested in taking his business. When Maggie and Dash go to inform the local wowser, Bert Cole, that his shop has been vandalised, they find him dead — and dressed in women's clothing. His house has also been burgled and his cause of death is unknown.

PJ and Maggie must determine whether Bert Cole's death was due to natural causes or murder. Reporter Timms gets wind of the unusual circumstances surrounding Cole's death and harasses Tom looking for a story.

Meanwhile, Dash discovers a room in Cole's house full of make up and women's clothes, but in a number of sizes. It's clear that there must be others that cross dress with Cole.

During the search, Maggie stumbles onto Cole's video collection which feature a small boy at kindergarten — is Cole a child molester too? PJ comes across a young man trying to sell stolen goods. He has in his possession the television removed from Cole's house and his address book but denies taking the video camera. It is revealed that the man is Cole's son-in-law, Johnnie Baxter, and that he was attempting to blackmail Cole. Johnnie claims that his father-in-law was already dead when he arrived, but did he murder Cole when he wouldn't pay up?

PJ tracks down the other cross dressers that met at Bert Cole's house. It seems that one of them was the last person to see Cole alive. Was there a falling out, was their blackmail within the club, or it was it a crime of passion? Perhaps the missing video camera will provide PJ with the clue he needs to solve the mystery. Meanwhile, Adam's back in the station awaiting the outcome of the inquest into David Allenby's death. He is anxious to resume duties but will the result mean the end of his career?

While on routine patrol, Dash and Nick pull over to attend to a car that has driven off the road and discover that the pregnant driver has gone into labour. After taking her to the hospital, Nick is assaulted by a man found breaking into a truck in the car park and is himself admitted to the hospital with a head wound.

Responding to the incident, the Heelers are on hand to see the child born but when the baby's health takes a sudden turn for the worse and subsequently dies, the bereaved father, drunk and in search of answers, takes Nick and Zoe hostage.

The man is easily subdued but Nick takes up his cause, and, along with PJ, investigates the baby's doctor. What they uncover provides the painful answers sought by the grieving parents and sheds some light on Nick's assault. After bumping into Damian in hospital, Dash learns he is considering a civil lawsuit against Adam and the police. With Adam facing the end of his policing career, Dash makes her own enquiries into the incident leading to a surprising turn of events.

When Nick stumbles onto the 3SD van broadcasting from the centre of Mt Thomas, the station is thrown into chaos. The disc jockey, Rod Wright, is discussing an apparent crime wave that is sweeping the town, a crime wave that, as far as the Heelers are concerned, has no real basis. That is until Vi Chisholm is knocked over and her bag is stolen and Greg Anderson reports that his hardware shop has been damaged.

Adam is sent to investigate the disturbance at Anderson's Hardware while Maggie and Dash bring Vi Chisholm in to ask her a few questions. Upon investigating the Hardware store Adam discovers that the damage only amounts to the dislodgement of a rack of keys, the perpetrator allegedly Zac Taylor, a recently fired employee. Dean, Greg Anderson's son, claims that Zac was fired because he never did his job properly and that he had threatened to harm Greg after being fired.

Deciding to question Zac himself, Adam finds him washing car windscreens at a stop sign, and brings him into the station for questioning.

Meanwhile, Maggie and PJ are having trouble comprehending Vi's description of her assailant. Then Rob Wright sweeps Vi out of the station and into his van to do a live-to-air interview about the attack. Listening to the program the Heelers find that Vi's memory seems to have mysteriously come back as she describes exactly what the assailant was wearing.

The clothes description just happens to fit Zac Taylor's, who is just leaving the station, and PJ is forced to haul Zac back into the station, where he denies having had any involvement in the bag snatching incident. In fact he claims he was talking to Chris, inquiring for work, at the Imperial at the time of the robbery.

Rod Wright continues to broadcast on the Mt. Thomas crime wave, going so far as to call the police incompetent. Tom calls the station to try and straighten out the situation, but ends up abusing Rod on air — a situation that Inspector Falcon-Price finds extremely unsatisfactory. The perpetrator used the key's in the stolen handbag to enter the house and all fingers point at Zac. The charges against the boy begin to increase as Vi collapses from a stroke as a result of the shock.

PJ receives information via Rob Wright's radio station that the perpetrator was riding a black and white bike, one identical to Zac's. On finding the bike and Vi's handbag in a nearby dam PJ, brings Zac in for more questioning.

Zac claims that his bike was stolen, but PJ is sure that he is the guilty party. She holds out her hand with a smile. Maggie Doyle. Ben: Ben Stewart. He shakes her hand Maggie: Nice to meet you. Ben: You too. She walks off, and he smiles after her. Ben: That umm Maggie's a pretty good sort. PJ: slightly raises his eyebrows to himself, and glances at Ben Really?

Ben: I actually thought you and she might be ahh The detective antennas were picking up signals. PJ: What? Me and Maggie? Ben: Great. She's just announced she's finishing for the day, smiles at PJ and Ben then walks out. Ben gives a low whistle. PJ: What Ben: On with somebody at St Davids, you reckon? PJ: remembering Ohh, yes. Apparently she's seeing one of the er, one of the braids there. Ben: Seeing if I'm not treading on anyone's toes around here, I might ask her out.

PJ: laughs, like it would be dumb for anyone to go out with Maggie What, go out with ol' Mags? Ben: Yeah, my chance. What do you reckon? PJ: Er Got a statement here mate, wanna take a squiz? He starts rambling on about the case. When are you going to tell Ben? Maggie: Oh, I see. Well, I don't know, I mean, what is, what's the big deal, maybe I should just go out with him.

Get it over and done with. PJ looks at her, and she laughs. It's a joke! Open the glovebox. PJ: Why? Maggie: Do you have to question everything I ask you to do? Maggie: Open the glovebox! PJ opens the glovebox and there's a box in there with a ribbon on top. He takes it out and smiles. PJ opens the box, and there's a watch inside. He turns it over and reads aloud the message engraved on the back. Maggie: Oh, Ben. You alright?

Ben: What do you reckon. Being accused of something I didn't do. Look, I didn't do it. Maggie: Look, for what it's worth, I believe you. Ben: Thanks, Maggie. That's worth a lot, actually.

He walks out Tom's office. Ben: Well. Looks like I'm off to Melbourne to face the firing squad. Maggie: What? Ben: Disciplinary action. Monica: Proceedings. Ben: Yeah well maybe it won't be as bad as all that, but anyway, I better say my goodbyes. Nick: Cheers mate. All the best. He shakes hands with Ben Ben: Thanks mate. Next time you see me I might be a civilian. PJ: shakes hands Sorry mate. I was wrong. Ben: looks at Maggie Been nice knowing you Mags. Maggie: Yeah. You too. She steps over to Ben and shakes hands with him, then kisses him softly on the lips.

PJ tries to look uninterested and walks off. Monica: Let's go. Ben: looks around Yah. See ya later. Nick: See ya mate. Monica and Ben leave, and Nick looks at Maggie as she walks past him.

She goes into PJ's office. PJ's leaning against the wall on the far side, and she walks over to him. PJ smiles, then laughs. Nick's working on some new rosters. Tom: How're those new rosters going? Nick: Oh, coming. Maggie: New rosters? What about the long weekend?

Don't tell me that I've lost the long weekend. Nick: puts on a business-like voice The new circumstances — Maggie: Oh, what new circumstances? The locker room door opens and Ben appears, in uniform. Maggie's still looking shocked to see him, and doesn't know what to say. Ben: Well, just as long as there's no problem between us. PJ: Ben, as far as I'm concerned mate, never has been, never will be. Ben: to himself Paranoia. PJ: Yes, the prime attribute of every good Ben: You were going to say detective just then, weren't you?

PJ: Do some time in uniform, before you know it, you'll be dealing with the scum of the earth. Ben: Oh, gee, thanks. Actually it's not too bad you know PJ: Oh, yes yes yes, some of the local girls have been known to love a copper, yes. Ben: Actually PJ. Ah — I was thinking closer to home.

PJ: Ahhh. Well you see Ben ahh, the Boss has got a bit of a down on relationships inside the office, you see. You've only got to look at a member sideways or something and he's thinking transfer.

Ben: PJ, just get over yourself will you, you're not their big brother. Ben: Aaahh. PJ: Aaahh. Maggie: Well you and Ben are quite the perfect flatmates. PJ: Yeah, well he's a great bloke. Maggie: surprised at the response But he's still getting in the way, isn't he. PJ: Yeah I just haven't had a chance to tell him, Mags. Been a bit busy lately you know. Maggie: giving him a funny look You um, you do want him to go though, don't you? PJ: unconvincingly Yeah.

Oh, Dash is staying at her Mum's place again tonight. PJ: Aaahhhh Maggie: enthusiastically So, we've um, we got the house to ourselves. PJ: nods slowly Good. PJ stops and doesn't reply. Maggie looks at him and gives him a shove. PJ: Oh, mate, how're you going with the er, flat-hunting? Ben: Uh, nothing that I've seen that I like as much as your place mate. Why, do you want to get rid of me, do you? PJ: No, of course not. Maggie: Still, there's nothing like being able to go back to your own place, shut the door, put your feet up, entertain who you want, when you want, is there?

Ben: Well look, if you promise to be my first and regular guest, O Jewel of the Night, I'll sign a lease tomorrow. Nick: in disgust Ohh Tom doesn't look very impressed with Ben's comments, considering the Boss's stance on office relationships. Ben is playing fortune-teller, and is reading Maggie's palm. Ben: tracing Maggie's palm with his finger Um Maggie: Oh, good. Ben: With Maggie: Three? Ben: Yeah. Maggie: Oh, God. Ben: Ah, your heart line, which says you've been unlucky in love, but things are going to get a lot better in the future.

PJ doesn't look very comfortable. Maggie: Well, I don't believe a word of it, because this is the wrong hand! Ben: No no, that's the hand you're born with, this is what you make of your life.

Tom: You ought to talk with our local witch. You'd get on like a house on fire. Ben: looks at Maggie meaningfully Yeah I think I'm up for a date with destiny. Maggie laughs.

Tom does not look happy with the relationship he sees between Maggie and Ben. Tom does not look at all impressed. Maggie is now with PJ in the CI office. Maggie: Well, the answer is in your hands. PJ: Beg your pardon? Maggie: giggles I'm sorry, I should rephrase that.

She smiles at him For me. All you gotta do, is tell Ben that he has to find they kiss somewhere else to live. PJ: I've tried! I've tried, but the only way he's going to move out, right, if I tell him the real reason what's going on with us. Maggie: Well, you know maybe it's not such a bad idea.

I mean I am, quite frankly getting sick of all this hole-in-the-corner stuff, you know? PJ: Mags, please. Now, you know how, the Boss feels about office relationships. Maggie: Yeah, I know, I know PJ: Now you know that. Now, he's going to transfer us, we'll be gone, we'll split up, off to Woop Woop. Maggie: Well, no, maybe not, maybe not. No, you Maggie: And when I get the right kiss feeling I'll sand him out and see what he thinks.

Shot cuts to Maggie coming out of the CI office. Emma: You're perfect! I mean — they're perfect. Maggie: Oh, I'm glad you like them. Ben: Maggie, can you give me a hand in the kitchen for a sec? Emma: Maggie. Maggie: Yeah? Emma throws a handful of fairy dust at her. She smiles and follows Ben to the kitchen. Ben: Don't look now, but er, we're being set up. Maggie: Ahh. Ben: Emma's doing a bit of match-making. She thinks I'm lonely. Maggie: Well you know that's um, that's sweet.

A beaming Emma gazes at Ben and Maggie chatting together in the kitchen. As she watches them, she has a vision of Ben and Maggie holding each other, dressed as a prince and his princess Maggie: He says that er, he loves and he cares for both of them, and he's very sorry, that he hurt them both and I believe him. Ben: But don't you think that if he really cared about them, why would he lie to them? Maggie: Oh because he can't make a choice.

Ben: Listen to you, Miss Pro-bigamy! Maggie: No, no I'm not! I, I just think that it's possible to love two people the same. Ben: Well maybe for some Maggie: glances towards the station and smiles Ahh Ben: 'Cause I think that, when you find the one person you're really meant to be with, that's it.
