The lives of five affluent housewives - Teresa, Jacqueline, Caroline, Dina and Danielle - in New Jersey reveals a surprising twist: three of the housewives are related. Meanwhile, Caroline, who owns two businesses, prepares for her son's graduation party while mum-of-three Teresa plots her daughter Tia's road to stardom after watching her dancing.
Danielle tries to warm to Dina but the women find themselves at a loss in each other's company, Jacqueline worries her daughter isn't getting good enough results at school while Teresa and daughter Gia receive good news about an audition. Meanwhile, Caroline's daughter concedes that she's ready to do her beauty course.
Danielle tries to bring tranquillity to the housewives' lives by organising a Moms' Night Out Spa Party but the mood turns sour when her guests circulate rumours. Later, Caroline and Dina pressure Jacqueline to end her friendship with Danielle.
Teresa is busy juggling her daughter's acting career and trying to move house. Meanwhile, the other housewives are busy discussing Danielle's alleged dodgy past, and Jacqueline decides to confront Danielle about the rumours which culminates in a showdown between Danielle and Teresa's husband.
Dina, Caroline and Teresa head to Atlantic City for a weekend of shopping, gambling and spa treatments. Teresa has an argument with her husband about plastic surgery after going bikini shopping, while Danielle is down in the dumps after splitting up with her boyfriend and turns to her children for support. Later, she pops out for a friendly birthday lunch with Jacqueline.
Teresa's plans for a civilised dinner with the housewives and their families are scuppered when the ladies discuss Danielle's past. Danielle blames Dina for spreading rumours about her even when Caroline admits responsibility for gossiping about her, and an argument breaks out between the housewives and Teresa gets angry with her guests. Later, Teresa's husband tried to placate the guests with champagne.
Danielle's book is still at the forefront of the housewives' minds and the ladies chide her for bringing it to the dinner party. Later, Danielle asks whether she was the reason Jacqueline and Dina briefly stopped speaking to each other and both give her separate answers.
