Summary -
The episode begins at the railyards with
police swarming everywhere. Monica Draper and Falcon-Price arrive together
and are informed that Maggie was shot twice in the leg, once in the abdomin
and twice in the chest which caused her lung to collapse, meaning everytime
she breathed in the air pressure built up, crushing her heart. =(
All the Heeler's are told, and we see each
of their individual reactions, then them trying to cope with the news as
they go to work the next day, saying it was better to be on the job and
trying to find whoever did it.
We also saw Pat and Mick Doyle's reactions
to her death.
The investigations then began, and with
the fake fight Maggie and PJ had, the message that was gone from PJ's answering
machine (which only PJ had heard), and the fact that Mick denied PJ was
ever going on Witness Protection with Maggie, the evidence piled up and
PJ was suspected of killing Maggie.
A police pyscologist (Ellen McCarthy) was
brought in and each Heeler individually spoke with her, talking about how
they felt about Maggie and why they admired her.
After PJ had spoken with her he went to
Maggie's burnt out house finding the engagement ring he'd given her.
PJ then went to the Imperial where Maggie
was laid in her police uniform in a coffin and placed the ring on her finger.
The funeral followed, with Pat being unable
to get up and say the eulogy so Tom ended up going up generally speaking
about her, and how everyone loved her and that she was a great copper and
a great person.
After the funeral Pat seemed to be questioning
PJ's innocence, which really annoyed PJ, but all Pat wanted to hear was
a definite no that he hadn't done it.

Quotes -
"So what do we do? We ah... we have a
chat?"
"That's the basic idea yes"
"Right well you should know that I am
a suspect"
"Oh?"
"Oh yeah well you see Maggie and I were
going to get married and that instantly puts me in the frame because statistically
we always look to the partner. You see Maggie and I were going to go away
together, and I've since found out that.. well she was going to go without
me"
"And that upset you?"
"Oh yeah bloody oath it did, you see I
don't let go of things that matter to me easily... I really get stuck in...
the thing is you know, being a suspect, it really gets in the way. Someone
dies, someone you love dies... you just want to let it go. You don't really
want people watching you, or taking evidence against you... sometimes I
ah... (starts crying) sorry... ah... sometimes I actually wish that I went
with her... because I know that I never ever would have left her... never"

Dr Ellen McCarthy
"I only figured out yesterday that Doyle was
going on Witness Protection... I certainly didn't know about PJ, but it's
a logical assumption, I mean those two couldn't possibly live apart."
- Tom
"Tell me about Maggie"
"Maggie... she was... ah... like a big
sister. She didn't rouse on you, she'd pull you into line... she came up
to my arm pit, she was like my little big sister... she was the type of
person that everyone loved"
