A Light Touch The Beachcombers : Season 16 Episode 12

Sara's day, which is so far overwhelmed by work, takes a turn for the brighter with the arrival into The Reach of a new customer, an artist and musician named Wade Sheffield, just arrived into town by boat. She is immediately smitten with him, and he by her. She, however, is not the only person captivated by him, as everyone in The Reach falls under his spell, everyone that is except Nick, who sees something not quite right in his demeanor. The next day, while Laurel is at work at the bank when Nick and Jack are among its customers, the bank is held up by two armed and masked men, who manage to escape with $50,000. Among the witnesses, Nick is sure he knows the identity of one of the robbers based on the glistening of what he is certain is a diamond stud in the robber's left earlobe underneath his dark stocking mask, as the only person who fits that description in the area is Wade. Nick shares his opinion with John. As Sara is staunchly supportive of Wade, Nick's accusation could mean the end of their friendship if Nick is wrong. But if Nick is right, Sara hanging out with Wade could prove to be dangerous, especially if Wade learns of what Nick has told the police.
