The housewives agree to start afresh and put last year's tensions behind them. Things are going somewhat to plan when two feisty newcomers enter the picture.

Gamble hosts her first event for the ladies -- a Murder Mystery Party. Despite the 'witches' theme, it's a fun, glamorous night, culminating in a big announcement from Gamble.

Jackie and Ben get creative on their latest marketing pitch for La Mascara. The ladies attend a fashion event at Chadstone, and mounting tensions between Janet and Gamble reach a crescendo.

Chyka and Bruce collaborate on an ambitious new building project, while Gina works on her image in a colorful photo shoot. Then, in an effort to diffuse bubbling resentments, Janet invites the ladies to a day of golf.

Pettifleur spoils her son on a shopping spree, and Jackie plays wingman as Janet tries speed dating. Chyka invites the Housewives and their dates to a gorgeous, flower-filled Chef's Dinner party.

The women head north to Sydney, where Gamble introduces them to her sister Tempest and other high-profile friends in the Sydney art scene. She fruitlessly hopes an event at the Billich Gallery will run smoothly.

Cash competes at the Royal Melbourne Show with Gamble, while Gina cheers them on. Janet invites the ladies to the Philippines for champagne, shopping and great food. However, things quickly deteriorate amid concerns about Pettifleur's book.

The Manila trip continues as the sniping escalates wildly. The following day brings peace, while Janet visits the tea master with Chyka -- but the truce doesn't last long. Later, the women head to a spa retreat called The Farm for a little relaxation.

After months of work, Lydia's house renovations are ready to show off to Chyka. Janet's proud of her son Jake who shines in the spotlight at their tea launch. Then Carlos shows up with more dreaded news on the gossip front for Gamble.

The women don black and white outfits for Derby Day. Pettifleur launches her controversial book, and later, Gamble hosts a Hen's Party, where the ladies dress as Bond girls.

Lydia hosts an uber-chic dinner party. Pettifleur stresses out her staff during preparations for her 50th birthday party. With its Winter Wonderland theme, she wishes for a drama-free glamorous party, but only one of those wishes comes true.

The Housewives are back together in the one room to right many wrongs. Gamble confronts her obsessive tendencies concerning Gina -- leading Pettifleur to question whether it's the real deal.

After her emotional outburst, Pettifleur rejoins the group, although the Housewives aren't finished with her yet. Gina admits her part in calling Pettifleur a name but draws the line at accusations of racism.
