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 Athena X. 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 heads to Mel's place to watch rushes of Mel's movie Boar. Matty is deeply offended by Athena X's behaviour at Victoria's lunch and admits she's thinking of boycotting Athena's upcoming Greek themed birthday party. Meanwhile, as Nicole goes house hunting for a multi million dollar family pad, things seem a little strained on the home front for Lisa and David. Athena 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 treats the women to a few days of rest and relaxation in the Whitsunday's, but it ends up being more like rivalries and riots. The ladies dine under the stars where Nicole questions Athena Xs veganism. When the conversation naturally shifts to the joys of sex, it hits a nerve with Lisa. The next day, it's not all smooth sailing on the super yacht, as the girls bicker over sleeping arrangements, Melissa confides in Athena X about her issues with body image, and Lisa has a near death experience.

Lisa departs the Whitsundays early. Matty's attempt to trial seven dogs at once may backfire and mean her dog days are over before they've even begun. Meanwhile, Melissa interviews a number of nannies, but can they surpass her extremely high standards? Finally, at Athena X's art exhibition, all hell breaks loose over Melissa's absence and the girls' speculation over Lisa's troubles at home.

Following Athena X's explosive art exhibition, Nicole agrees to meet Athena X for a drink but feels she has walked into an ambush. Matty plans a decadent Persian New Year party for the girls in the hopes of reconciliation. Bring on the caviar, 24 carat gold flakes and 100 year aged balsamic vinegar. When Matty throws a party, money is no object. But Athena X opens up about her abusive childhood and the women are left shocked.

Following Matty's Persian New Year Party, Athena X seeks comfort in supportive husband Panos, who puts everything into perspective. Meanwhile, Victoria plans a combined Wrinkles Schminkles launch with a fundraiser for Victor Chang cardiac research. Later, she reveals that despite Anthena X's generous Levendi donation, she has genuine concerns about inviting Athena X and her Greek temper. But once the event gets underway socialite Lizzie Buttrose ensures that while Lisa and Athena are out of sight, they are most definitely not out of mind.

Melissa invites the ladies along on her modelling trip to Singapore, for her photoshoot with Daniel Boey. But when Daniel asks Melissa to trust him, she worries that the photoshoot may be taking a weird turn. Victoria embraces the opportunity to meet her long lost sister Lucy half way between London and Sydney. Feeling optimistic, the women see this as an opportunity to regroup after a tumultuous few weeks. Athena X seeks Krissy's advice on how to approach Victoria about running down her business at the charity auction. But Krissy's counsel goes out the window when Athena X confronts Victoria at their rooftop dinner leaving more than just sparks flying.

Krissy, Nicole and Athena X meet for an early dip in the infinity pool where they wash away the fall out of another explosive gathering. Lisa joins Mel and Matty for some high end retail therapy. Victoria finally meets her long lost sister Lucy and quickly realises they have more in common than just a similar nose. Victoria invites Lucy to drinks, but poor Lucy is subjected to the volatile behaviour that is now expected with gathering of these strong headed ladies. Lisa and Athena X come to blows, but can they get their friendship back on track before returning to Sydney?

The girls debrief with friends and family about their trip to Singapore. Matty throws a launch party for her Forever Young pillows complete with topless waiters and a naughty nightwear dresscode. For once Krissy is enjoying the company of Athena X and Lisa, but talk quickly turns to Victoria and a proposed intervention. Meanwhile, Mel is off shooting one of her last scenes in the film Boar. Later, at Nicole's Food Truck Fund charity event, Athena X and Lisa kick up a fuss when Krissy doesn't go along with their plans for Victoria's so called 'intervention' and not even a performance by Melissa can lighten the mood.

Athena X has a past life regression and heads back to 1793. Meanwhile, Matty is asked to be maid of honour at Christa Billich's dog's wedding to a cat. Athena hosts Lisa, Nicole and Krissy at an opulent Breakfast at Levendi and has an Oprah moment. Gossip and speculation turns full on rumour amid talk that Charles Billich likes sleeping with his muses but is Matty one of them? Then the big day rolls around and all the housewives join an eccentric crowd of art lovers, be-jewelled animals and drag queens for the notorious Fur wedding which might just end in a cat fight.

There's waterworks, walkouts and a barrage of allegations thrown as the real housewives of Sydney come together for the first time for the reunion that Australia has been waiting for. It doesn't take long for things to heat up when spiritual goddess, Athena X and straight shooting, Victoria go head-to-head. The ongoing animosity between Krissy and Lisa soon erupts with Lisa in the firing line. The usually quiet Melissa finds her voice when a topic hits a nerve and Victoria is less than impressed when her loyalty as a friend is scrutinized. It's a climatic end when Nicole is left mortified when she hears what one of the housewives has been saying about her behind her back.
