[edit] Season Synopsis
Season 2 premiered in February 1995 and had been moved to the later 8.30 Timeslot, making way for Better Homes & Gardens and The Great Outdoors. The season ran for 41 episodes. The storylines included:
- Adam dealing with an HIV scare,
- Chris and Adam beginning a relationship, despite their age difference,
- Maggie getting a roommate, Gina Belfanti (Rachel Blakely), who quickly fell for Adam,
- Senior Constable Rose Egan temporarily joining the Heelers at Mt. Thomas after applying for a Detective's position that Maggie wanted,
- Tom's reunion with his troubled daughter Susan,
- Nick's friend, Billy Peters, being killed in a motorbike accident and Nick beginning a relationship with his widow, Sasha,
- Wayne being served with divorce papers from Roz.
- Maggie and Wayne going for their Senior Constable exams,
- Maggie filling in as police prosecutor,
- Wayne beginning a relationship with Kate Kenny, wife of local crim Joe Kenny, starting a sort of vendetta between Wayne and Joe,
- The introduction of Inspector Monica Draper (Peta Doodson) who kept a close watch on the Mt. Thomas station,
- The arrival in town of Dr. Zoe Hamilton (Karen Davitt), a local doctor who became a secret admirer of Nick's,
- and the growing sexual tension between PJ and Maggie.
The season ended with Gina being raped. The only witness, a mentally disabled man named Clancy Freeman (Michael Isaacs), who would recurr until the 11th season), was uncertain of what he had seen, and so Maggie was used as bait to trap the rapist. In the aftermath, she and PJ shared their first kiss.
