Stories of two cars, two babies and Gary, who wants to join the police force but is sent away by Inspector Faulkner, who doesn't understand the needs of country policing and fills in for Tom when he is sent away for training, leaving the station understaffed. Things go from bad to worse - the computer system goes down, an old man goes missing, and a car is stolen with a sleeping baby inside.

Wayne's replacement finally arrives in Mt Thomas, just in time to help the Heelers deal with a rodeo cowboy who seems to be sending his young son out to steal for him. Tom anxiously awaits the birth of his first grandchild.

Maggie is set to prosecute the Dean Crocker case, but PJ has doubts about the investigation because he and the new detective sergeant are not getting on.

The Heelers are faced with finding a solution to a crime from the past.

Clancy and his mum have an accident, but there is more to it than meets the eye and Tom is faced with a dilemma. With policing and luck, the truth will reveal itself.

As the Heelers necessarily become involved with the discipline problems at the local high school, Tom realizes that his own problems are nothing in comparison to those of the new school principal. Maggie hires a tutor after she is disappointed with her exam results.

PJ and Maggie must examine the events of the past to solve an allegation of child abuse when a woman accuses her father and unleashes her childhood memories. The evidence is convincing, but the police have to keep an objective eye, as the young woman can't control her emotions. Dash and Adam work to identify an assault suspect with no clues other than a blind man's description of the offender.

Dash and Nick are called out to an old farmhouse where they discover a vandalized room, a terrified child, and swinging from a light fitting... a dead lamb. There are then plenty of suspects, to the most serious incident of all. Despite earning a commendation for her actions, Dash's behavior continues to antagonize Tom.

Meanwhile, Adam makes a sacrifice for charity.

Nick is surprised by Dash's unprofessional behavior at the scene of a fatal accident, only to later learn that both victims were friends of hers.

Meanwhile, PJ investigates Maggie's tutor, Roman, and finds out he's married.

Nick and Adam are called out when a group of wild-eyed religious bigots attacks the home and property of full-time hairdresser and part-time witch, Siobhan Kennedy. PJ spills the beans about Roman but an investigation into the death of a clergyman's daughter leads Maggie to wonder how much he really knows.

As Tom accepts the possibility that his daughter is gone for good, he starts looking to get his baby grandson into a nursery. When he thinks he's found a suitable crèche, injuries start occurring to toddlers there, and the staff becomes the main focus. PJ is on holiday, so Detective Johnny Kowlaski comes in as a temporary replacement, but he will have an effect on Dash and Adam very quickly.

5,000 liters of wine goes missing worth $100,000. How was it done and what has local Charlie Drake got to do with it? The new detective Johnny Kowalski makes moves on Maggie, whilst Tom is looking for a carer for his grandson, with unexpected results.

Intent on buying a car but short on cash, Dash turns to Chris' new gaming machines then gets carried away by her winning streak, putting pressure on her friendship with Adam.

PJ is too busy for an apology from Maggie after a toddler calls the station and says his mother won't wake up. His baby sister is also there and is running a fever. While PJ talks to the child, the rest of the Heelers work to try and determine his identity and location using what little information they have. But can they get to them, before the abusive boyfriend gets back?

Dash and Adam wreck the hard drive of the computer at the station while playing a computer game. They have the system quietly repaired locally and are anxious that Tom doesn't find out, but glitches soon appear, which seems to be connected to a puzzling series of break-ins Maggie and PJ are investigating.
