Episode Synopses
Season 2
They're young, they're rich, they're sexy and they've got everything that fame and money can buy.
As the wives of players on the soccer team known as the Sparks, they should be having the time of their lives... but the reality is very different.
Three couples - Donna and Ian Walmsley, Tanya and Jason Turner and Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe and Kyle Pascoe - deal with marriage, sex, drugs, high fashion, fast cars, staggering salaries, catfights, mansions, copious affairs and life in the celebrity spotlight.
In Season 2, Tanya and Jason lie under oath and get their assault charges dropped, leading the public to believe that Frank, who has come out of his coma, is deranged and that he tried to rape Tanya.
Meanwhile, Chardonnay and Kyle raise the infant son of Kyle's mother, Jackie, as their own.
And when Jason retreats to a rooftop, drunk and feeling sorry for himself, he slips and desperately grasps for a lifesaving hold on the ledge.
But an unseen assailant hits his hands with a champagne bottle, causing Jason to fall to his death.
