The season begins with the first meeting of our vivacious Sydney housewives. The ladies come together for the first time for a 'welcome home Nicole' soirée. It's all gorgeous and civil - to start with.

Victoria confides in Krissy that she's thinking of tracking down her long lost father. She's also invited the ladies for a wear-all-white lunch in Sydney's north even though she's reluctant to include AthenaX. Despite some friendly gestures at lunch it doesn't take long for jokes to become digs, and digs taunts, and by the time Lisa arrives things have just about reached boiling point.

Matty is deeply offended by AthenaX's behaviour at Victoria's lunch. Meanwhile, Nicole goes house hunting and things seem a little strained on the home front for Lisa and David. AthenaX makes sure she looks drop dead gorgeous at her party by having a killer outfit specially made, and while her husband Panos is certainly appreciative, the other ladies are more interested in what's happened to Matty? All except Lisa who has other things on her mind which she confides in with Victoria.

Victoria whisks the women away to the fabulous Whitsundays for a few days of R and R but whether that stands for 'rest and recreation' or 'rivalry and riots' is anyone's guess. Dining under the stars, Nicole questions AthenaX's veganism thanks to AthenaX's ivory bracelet. When the conversation naturally shifts to the joys of sex, it hits a nerve with Lisa who admits it's been a long time between the sheets for her and David. On board a multimillion dollar super yacht, it's not all smooth sailing, as the girls fight over who will share with who and who won't share with the snorers. Krissy and Victoria make a splash stand-up paddle boarding, meanwhile, AthenaX and Melissa have a heart to heart about Melissa's battle with body image. AthenaX warns Melissa to be careful around Victoria who she heard call Melissa 'anorexic'. Or did she? While snorkelling with Nicole and Matty, Lisa finds herself caught in a rip, but when no one comes to her rescue, Lisa sees red.

The next day, it’s not all smooth sailing on the super yacht, as the girls bicker over sleeping arrangements, Melissa confides in AthenaX about her issues with body image, and Lisa has a near death experience.
