The Real Housewives of Sydney

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.

Nicole agrees to meet AthenaX for a drink but walks into an ambush. Matty plans a Persian New Year party for the girls in the hopes of reconciliation, but once again AthenaX leaves the group speechless.

Victoria plans her charity event, but reveals that despite AnthenaX's generous donation she has genuine concerns about inviting her. Lisa retaliates in the form of socialite sabotage.

Melissa invites the ladies along on her modelling trip to Singapore. 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. AthenaX 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 AthenaX 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.
