Senior Sergeant Tom Croydon (John Wood) is left "even more dismayed" when Jo messes up the staff lunches and strikes his car.

[1] A Sydney Morning Herald reporter commented that it was "an inauspicious introduction to Mount Thomas" for the character and thought things would get worse before getting better for her.

[3] A reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald observed that Allsop's casting as Jo helped to "fill the rebel-without-a-clue void" left by Walton's departure.
