The Real Housewives of Melbourne

It’s great to see all the wives again... but it sure doesn’t take long for the talons to come out. They’re in feisty form. Given it’s been a while since the ladies have caught up, Chyka invites Jackie and Janet to her regular book club. Amid flowing champagne and tasty treats, Chyka’s old friend Susie arrives. It’s quickly clear Susie knows many of the wives very well. One of them, perhaps not in a good way. Lydia and Pettifleur are also catching up, with 'Janet and Gamble’ the hot topics of a conversation which isn’t entirely positive. Pettifleur’s feeling vengeful after Gamble questioned the authenticity of her book and doesn’t hold back airing insults and accusations.

Family matters dominate and life issues can sometimes prove confronting. Chyka, Susie and Gamble hit the shops looking for wedding gift inspiration. Discussion quickly turns to Lydia's betrayal of her 'friend' Pettifleur. Gamble's convinced Lydia was trying to help by passing on Pettifleur's barbed insults but Susie and Chyka question Lydia's motives. Once Lydia actually rocks up, you can cut the air with a knife.

Uncomfortable home truths are exchanged as the wives and various family members reunite. Bride to be Gamble is torn, should she invite Pettifleur to her wedding even though they’re at logger heads? Chewing it over with family, the ever supportive Rick encourages her to do the right thing while his son Luke has other ideas leaving Gamble as confused as ever. At the same time Pettifleur’s in damage control but not over Gamble. She and her sister Gillian were once close but they’ve drifted apart... so time to address their issues.

There's a good reason why wedding dresses are best worn on one day only. Never one to shy away from drama, Pettifleur took it to the next level when she rejected Gamble's wedding invitation. And while the fallout includes yelling, tears & eventually hugs, is all really forgiven? With the big day looming, BFF's Gina and Gamble enjoy some light relief lingerie shopping for the wedding night - not many could pull off such skimpy looks but Gamble gets Gina's complete endorsement with good reason.

Every outdoor wedding needs a Plan B. The big day is fast approaching so Rick and Gamble arrive in Byron Bay ahead of their guests to make sure everything's on track for their beach wedding. Back in Melbourne, Gina's packing for the trip with the help of new PA Josh. Gamble asked her to be involved in the ceremony, so she's determined to look her best. Later, when the ladies arrive at the Byron at Byron resort Gina heads straight to work.

Bitter sweet life lessons with family. While the weather held for Gamble and Rick's beach ceremony, the heavens finally open all over the reception amid much scrambling for cover and concern for their teetering multi tiered cake. The new Mr and Mrs Wolfe aren't the only couple of interest given Janet's ex, Brian is working the crowd. Gina's early departure the night before has some of the wives in full on detective mode but when Chyka and Janet chose to question her about it they're quickly cut down by a Gina in fighting form.

The pleasure and pain of friendship. Figaro is not proving a willing participant when it comes to sitting for his portrait and seems unimpressed the artist also painted Johnny Depp's dog Boo. Across town, Gamble is taking stepson Luke out shopping where she confides to him how she feels about Gina. An oblivious Ms Liano is busy sampling fragrances for her perfume line while refining a name which best reflects the quintessence of Gina. Not easy.

Desert heat, desert drama. Thanks to Chyka's fabulous invitation, the housewives arrive with wide eyed wonder in spectacular Dubai. After checking into Atlantis The Palm, their super‐opulent digs, they hot foot it down to the beach for cocktails. Spirits are high with the exception of one of the wives and it doesn't take long for cracks to appear in the group. After many trips to the area, Lydia's keen to establish herself as the resident expert which has the desired effect of rubbing Chyka up the wrong way.

Dinner in the Dubai desert continues with temperatures in the sand dunes soaring. Back at our desert dinner the housewives try in vain to explain their frustrations to Pettifleur, but their words fall on deaf ears while pushing her to breaking point. With the heat rising Gina loses her cool as only Gina can.

As Dubai recovers from the high drama that accompanied the housewives on their trip, the women return to 'normality' back in Melbourne. The wives wrap up their trip to Dubai with a spot of private diamond‐and‐gem‐encrusted‐jewellery shopping in the hotel's incredible Royal Bridge Suite. Lydia attempts to patch things up with Chyka who makes it clear she isn't ready. Back in Melbourne family is the priority: Ben and Jackie investigate their fertility, Janet and her ex‐husband Brian decide on their future, Lydia and her brother plan their Mum's birthday party and Gina is coming to terms with 'Gina' the brand with the help of a celebrity life coach.

Lydia's mum celebrates her 69th birthday, Gina launches 'Gina' the perfume and the ladies get together for a final dinner slash showdown. Pettifleur's feeling a little unloved after Lydia's outburst at Glasshouse and meets up with her sister Gillian to try and get things back on track. Meanwhile Lydia still wants PF to attend her mum Lina's 69th birthday party even though some of the other wives aren't as welcome.

After the most explosive series ever, temperatures soar as the Real Housewives of Melbourne reunite for a fiery reunion that is sure to set tongues wagging. There's tears, tantrums and plenty of allegations thrown as the 8 Housewives come together to air their grievances.
