Blue Heelers S05E37

Wedding Blues

Episode 5.37 (207)
October 28, 1998
Written by David Boutland
Directed by Karl Steinberg

Unexpected news from Zoe leads Nick to spring a surprise of his own — his resignation from the Victoria Police. In typical Nick style, he refuses to provide a reason for his resignation, hampering Tom's attempts to talk sense into him. But as the Heelers try to discover the real motives for Nick's strange behaviour, an angry dispute over a parking ticket leads to the arrest of a chook farmer, the death of some chickens, and the disappearance of a parking inspector. The chook farmer becomes the prime suspect, but investigations unearth a secret life and plenty of people with good reason to hate the officious inspector.

When a wedding celebrant visits Nick at the station and he is sprung baking a wedding cake, the Heelers finally put two and two together to discover the truth. Nick tries to create a smokescreen by claiming that elderly residents Leila Clegg and Merv Poole are tying the knot, but Zoe blows his cover and admits that she and Nick are indeed getting married. Tiring of Nick's erratic behaviour, Zoe calls off their wedding. The crisis that follows culminates in Nick saving Zoe from being caught up in the chicken farmer's plans for a fiery end, and teaches him some hard lessons about love and commitment.
