Hard Feelings
Episode 7.28 (281)
August 16, 2000
Written by Peter Dick
Directed by Chris Langman
Jo becomes involved in the plight of a struggling cosmetics rep whose car has been stolen. The culprit turns out to be an angry teenager from a broken family. Not only has the car been written off, but $2,000 worth of cosmetics in the boot has been destroyed and a family's livelihood is gone. The resulting financial crisis is too much for the victim's husband, who leaves home hot on the heels of the repo men. The Heelers' attempts to get the boy to apologise and pay restitution fall on deaf ears. Tom and Jo are angry at the boy's unrepentant attitude, but the victim doesn't help her case when she meets him at the station and punches him in the stomach.
The teenager insists on pressing assault charges, which only hardens the attitudes of Jo and most of the other Heelers against him. But Ben refuses to give up on the kid. If he likes cars perhaps the challenge of fixing one up can keep him out of trouble. The boy's father runs a successful automotive workshop and agrees to help by providing tools and garage facilities for a wrecked car, but the new woman in his life refuses to go along with the plan. The kid is infuriated by what he sees as yet another rejection from his father and stomps off. Soon after, his father's girlfriend is assaulted and his cash box emptied in a daring robbery.
There is no question in PJ's mind that the kid is the prime suspect in the crime. Ben holds out and defends the boy even when the teenager turns up with an expensive automotive part and refuses to say where he got the money to purchase it. Ben knows there must to be another answer and discovers the kid has a part-time job. Do the Heelers now have to find the real offender? What started out as a relatively minor crime has now left a trail of shattered lives.
