Mystery Bay's year-long experiment with free-range capitalism comes to a jarring halt and Stella is forced to realise that being the new Queen of Mystery Bay isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Tensions rise to boiling as Stella scrambles, again, to adapt to her new way of life - but when someone escapes the town's clutches, it begs the question; If they can leave, why can't Stella?

Shock waves ripple through Mystery Bay as a town ghost appears - but this one feels all too real. Stella demonstrates she will go to any lengths to form an unlikely alliance in the face of a common enemy.

Caught between a rock and a soft cake, Stella is thrown into a tailspin. Some colourful newcomers seem to remind Mystery Bay of an idea long since forgotten. Fun.

Love is in the air and poised to blow itself out. The harsh light of day and Mystery Bay's brief flirtation with happiness is over, leaving in its wake a shocking betrayal and more notches in Stella's growing body count.

The dead rest in peace - usually. Date night turned graveyard duty sets off a catastrophic series of events as Stella juggles unwanted phone calls, rescue missions gone awry and a new threat no one saw coming.

Just another regular day in Mystery Bay - Stella is backed into a corner with yet another dead body. Her children have gone missing, and the town grieves as they prepare a solemn farewell to one of their best.

The former locals of Mystery Bay descend on Melbourne, revelling in their newfound freedom. But celebration turns to anticipation as they attempt their most dangerous mission yet.
