Blue Heelers (season 11)

The Mount Thomas Police Station is bombed and, while Tom just escapes the blast, Jo and Clancy are killed.

The Heelers are running around like headless chooks after the bombing of the Mount Thomas police station and the team has to deal with the tragic death of their colleague, Jo Parrish, and with the death of 'the superman', Clancy Freeman.

Inspector Falcon-Price arrives on the scene as well as Sergeant Nick Schultz who returns to Mount Thomas as part of the Homicide Squad to investigate the bombing.

The team goes into overdrive trying to find Grace and the station bomber while Tom, seriously injured and fed up with the lack of effort his team is putting into finding Grace, discharges himself from the hospital and helps in the search; he finds Grace's body lying in a creek on the Holstein property, the Holsteins being relatives of suspect, Cal Milic. But, Grace's body was found only 1km from the Baxter house and Tom is determined to get the Baxters for what they'd done, although there is no evidence that points to Barry Baxter or any of his sons.

Mount Thomas also gets two new members: Sergeant Mark Jacobs, whom the Inspector promises Tom's job to, and new edition to the C.I. team, Det. Snr. Const. Amy Fox, not immediately fitting in very well.

The episode concludes with Tom, against all advice, taking a drive alone to see the Baxters. When he returns he reports that only Troy Baxter was home and "He's met with an unfortunate accident, he's dead". What are the team to think? What had Tom done?

The Heelers receive the autopsy report on Grace Curtis revealing she was beaten and raped before being tossed into the river and drowning because of exhaustion.

This intensifies the search for the rapist and murderer when another rape victim is discovered within circumstances almost identical to those of the rape of Grace Curtis.

An old man thinks he has been robbed when a cigar box containing money disappears from his house; Joss is assigned to be his "bodyguard" for a day. Amy still struggles to fit in with the C.I. branch at Mount Thomas and, with all the happenings, tension within the station grows as everybody is still having trouble coming to terms with the deaths of Jo, Clancy and Grace.

The team also begin furnishing their new station but, it is not as easy as you'd think and ends in an eruption of still raw emotions. Probationary Constables Kelly O'Rourke and Joss Peroni arrive at Mount Thomas.

Tom continues his vendetta against the Baxters while Barry Baxter still very much blames Tom for the death of his boy, Troy.

Tom seems to be getting in too deep and is becoming withdrawn from everybody else, not to mention extremely moody and angry with everything and everyone.

A wake is held for Jo, Clancy and Grace at The Imperial and Tom's emotions get the better of him when he assaults Barry Baxter.

The Mount Thomas police receive a bomb threat in the form of a letter and, later a fake bomb is left in the station causing a total evacuation and the attendance of the Bomb Squad. The fake-bomber later demanded $50,000 or he would really bomb the station; the fake bomb turns out to be tomato soup left by a former parking-inspector in need of money.

Barry Baxter makes a complaint about being assaulted by Tom and Chris lies for him, claiming that Baxter started the fight.

A still bitter Tom returns to the site of Grace's car and discovers her car's distributor cap. This is found to have none of Milic's fingerprints, thus eliminating him as a suspect for Grace's rape and murder.

Chris has a brick thrown through her window, missing her by inches and a woman on speed throws an ashtray at Chris, over 40 cents for a phone call.

Kelly and Joss attend a break-in fearing an armed-offender only to discover that the offender was actually a joey which jumped through a window.

Ben and Susie share a comforting kiss in the tea room and are discovered by Jonsey.

In an attempt to solve the rape of Grace Curtis, the Heelers interrupt Troy Baxter's funeral to get a DNA sample. Tom (against all orders) also attends, and provokes Barry into a rage by telling him that Troy wasn't his son.

When the DNA tests arrive at the station, they reveal that it truly was Troy Baxter that raped Grace Curtis.

Kelly and Joss are in hot water when their attempt to apprehend a criminal demanding cigarettes turns out wrong and the shop attendant is on the receiving end of Kelly's pepper spray.

Another victim of bad speed is found in Mount Thomas and the team suspects that the Baxters are behind it.

A 15-year-old girl is found by Evan and Susie in the women's toilets giving birth to a baby.

Susan is nearly killed when a 4WD ploughs through her bedroom wall. Tom decides it isn't safe for her in Mount Thomas and forces her to move out of the area.

Tom becomes more bitter and aggressive towards everyone and denies help from anyone.

Mt. Thomas is inundated by a group of footballers, and it isn't long before a gang rape occurs and Jonesy is held hostage when a guy points a nail gun to his head. Ben ends up in a familiar situation where he has to shoot someone in order save a colleague. He can't find the heart to do it so he quite literally walks away. Disobeying an order and almost losing a friend make Ben do some hard thinking about the job and his colleagues' trust which puts him on the brink of suicide. He later saddles up for the country road.
