Paternal instincts and police work conflict for Ben when he is drawn to a sick girl and a hardworking father in trouble — Rosie needs a new kidney and time is running out. When George's car is stolen, Ben offers them a lift to hospital for her weekly treatment. The problem is, George's car was used in an armed robbery. Ben hopes, for Rosie's sake, that her father was not involved.

PJ is distracted from the investigation when Maggie returns from six weeks in the safety house program. After the rushed and fractured parting, PJ is desperate to know whether they still have a relationship. With Dash busily organising welcome home drinks and dinners, PJ can barely find a second alone with his golden girl. And when he does, it is clear that Maggie has doubts about their future together.

The Heelers begin to suspect Rosie's father when his ex-wife, Carol, shows up in town and displays some mysterious hold over him. Carol skips the pub without paying her bill and demands that George settle the matter. When the Heelers are called to stop him from destroying her car, the truth begins to unfurl.

Rosie believes her mother is dead. Her father, however, has asked Carol to give their dying daughter one of her kidneys. Carols has agreed but there are strings attached. Might a large sum of money be involved?

Like Ben, Maggie finds this woman's careless attitude to Rosie intolerable. As PJ investigates the family, keeping his police work separate from personal feelings, Maggie is touched by Ben's more considerate approach.

When Maggie and PJ find the driver of the getaway vehicle, PJ errs by throwing himself in front of Maggie to protect her. Nothing has changed, says Maggie, who finds her human shield stifling. If there's one thing Maggie has learned in her absence, it's that she wants the freedom to make her own mistakes.

In the hot seat of the getaway vehicle is Rosie's father. Guilty of armed robbery, he cannot pay Carol her blood money. Now he has lost his freedom, will his daughter lose her life?
