The Heelers are drawn into a hostile domestic situation when a distraught man arrives in Mt. Thomas in search of his missing lover who is terminally ill. Robert is sure his long-time partner, Peter Jones, has returned to make amends with his parents, whom he hasn't seen for 8 years. As Peter is not officially missing, Jack can do nothing to help him and is assaulted by an overwrought Robert.

Behind the station counter, emotions are on a short leash as Ben and Maggie struggle to come to terms with their impassioned kiss at Ben's birthday bash. A few drinks, some silly games, a fine time had by all and then, somehow, it just happened. What now? Ben longs to pursue the matter with Maggie, who avoids him, unable to admit her true feelings.

Although he seems genuine, Robert skirts some incriminating details of his relationship with Peter. The Heelers learn that theirs was a tumultuous household and that Peter has a history of prostitution. Could Peter be hiding from a violent domestic situation?

Tempers in the Doyle family boil over when Pat arrives on a surprise visit with his new fiancée, Evie Osborne, in tow. Maggie is in no mood to welcome another woman in her mother's place. Evie seems a harmless enough chatterbox until she lets slip that her relationship with Pat goes back longer than fidelity allows. Furious and aggrieved, Maggie turns the guilty couple from her house. Between Ben and Pat, Maggie is having a bad day.

Robert, meanwhile, is working hard at harassing families by the name of Jones, but when the Heelers find Peter's car being driven by his father, the parents have much to answer for. The Jones deny having seen their son in years but burnt clothing in the incinerator and a fresh grave nearby suggest otherwise. As the Heelers investigate, it appears Peter Jones death was indeed a crime of passion and while the Jones seem the obvious suspects, new evidence uncovers a most tragic murder.
