Plot
After a year-long pursuit, Maggie, assisted by P.J. and her brother Mick, was on the verge of breaking up a drug syndicate and intended to enter witness protection. To facilitate this, she pretended to end her relationship with P.J., but before she could be relocated, she was fatally shot by an unknown attacker. The subsequent storyline titled "Who Killed Maggie Doyle?" attracted the highest viewership in the series’ history. Following Maggie’s death, P.J. was charged with her murder but fought to prove his innocence, ultimately unveiling in episode 263 "Out of the Shadows" that her brother Mick was responsible for the crime.

Following the completion of contractual agreements, the "Complete Seventh Season" DVD collection was launched in Australia (Region 4) on 31 July 2008. Consistent with earlier seasons, the seventh season was distributed in two separate volumes; however, these were housed in a standard DVD case instead of the traditional boxed set with a slipcover. A full season box set is expected to be released at a later date.
