Season 4[]
In Bell the Cat, while searching for the missing Sam Roche, Oz finds a tent on the mountainside near New Eden containing Stu who is missing his right hand. Oz is shocked to find Stu who asks Oz for help. Stu is taken to New Eden where he is questioned by Javi, Oz and Sykes who reveal that they have recently found Stu's severed hand and know that it was torn off not cut off as Stu claims. Stu's weak attempts at lying are derailed when Sykes gives into her old instincts as Joseph Wilford's head of security, bringing the interrogation to an end.
Oz later tries a new tactic by using his talents from the Nightcar to give Stu a pleasurable experience using Stu's feet, before turning it into a form of torture. Stu eventually admits that the International Peacekeeping Forces had used him to point out Zarah Ferami and Mrs. Headwood. However, after finding out that Zarah had been killed, Stu had jumped from the snowcat in an escape attempt, but his hand got caught in the treads and was ripped off in the process. Stu tells Oz that the soldiers had left him for dead and, Stu believed, dug his grave. After throwing Stu in lockup, Oz investigates Stu's claims and discovers that the soldiers were actually burying explosives to cause an avalanche to bury the town.
In By Weeping Cross, after returning to New Eden, Roche teases Oz about giving someone a Nightcar experience while he was gone, but Oz asks him to keep that quiet.
