What can we expect from this episode

Stella (Marta Dusseldorp), receives a package from Airini (Rachel House) upon their return to Mystery Bay, only to find that the contents are unreadable. When she needs help deciphering the code, she turns to her friends in town: Sammi (Ilai Swindells), Magda (Pamela Rabe), and Heather (Roz Hammond).

Frankie’s (Kerry Fox) popularity continues to decline as a result of her punishment of several disloyal citizens of the town.
Jeremiah (Toby Leonard Moore) and Stella become closer than ever after an uncomfortable dinner party when they decide to work together to stop Frankie’s Bay of Fires operation.

When Stella and her children are living in Mystery Bay, Stella’s father, the former CEO of ProsperAus Finance, shows up to try to persuade her to move back with them. Stella and Iris (Ava Caryofyllis) are sceptical of his motives and wonder who he works for. At the same time, Johann (Nikolai Nikolaeff) begins looking for Stella.

In his pursuit of Elysha (Mackenzie Grant), Otis (Imi Mbedla) runs away from home, ignoring Stella’s pleadings that he return to safety away from Thaddeus (Matt Nable) and The Community.

Set in the wilds of Tasmania, Marta will play lead character Stella Heikkinen whose fall from grace is as spectacular as it is life threatening.

Betrayed by her own company and in immediate danger – single mother of two Stella has no option but to move her young family to the last place on earth anyone would expect. This town isn’t the kind of place they put on postcards, this is a tiny community rife with simmering feuds, crime and sometimes, murder.
