It's a case of mistaken identity in this episode of Blue Heelers, titled "Dead Ringer." When a man is found dead in his home, the Heelers are called in to investigate. They quickly discover that the victim is not who everyone thought he was – he had assumed the identity of another man, who is now missing. The case becomes even more complicated when they find out that the real identity of the victim is that of a former criminal who had been in witness protection.
The Heelers must work to unravel the man's true identity and determine who might have wanted him dead. Along the way, they encounter a cast of suspicious characters, from the victim's business partner to his former girlfriend. As they dig deeper, they begin to uncover secrets that some would clearly rather keep buried.
In the midst of their investigation, the Heelers also have to deal with their own personal problems. Maggie is struggling to come to terms with her father's recent death, and is having a hard time dealing with the emotions that are surfacing as a result. Meanwhile, P.J. is still reeling from his split with Jo, and is attempting to find solace in his work.
As the investigation unfolds, the Heelers begin to piece together a complicated web of deception, lies, and betrayal. They are forced to confront their own prejudices and assumptions, and to question whether the victim was really the person they thought he was. With time running out, they must race to uncover the truth before anyone else becomes a victim.
