Former editor of the Rainbow Echo Wendy Watt arrives back in town as spokesperson for Chimera Gold - an underhand mining company who specialize at buying up properties near mines around remote areas of Australia and exploiting them. So when Louisa, Minna and Holly find out that their target area is the new community garden all gloves are off and they set off to expose the company before they can wreck anymore damage. Meanwhile, Sandy's Alzheimer's begins to worsen, Nick finds out that Louisa's husband was going to leave her and Marg goes on a blind date with a man who calls himself 'Tom Cruise' and which turns out to be a disaster. Elsewhere, Marty takes over selling plots for the community garden but gets himself fired by Holly when she finds he is selling plots that don't exist. Minna and Sandy set up a company called Foxglove Fragrances but what they are cooking up is not exactly fragrant.
