ABC’s Sunday night drama ramps up the pressure as Bay of Fires returns for its second episode this second season, throwing Stella (Marta Dusseldorp) deeper into chaos and closer to revolt.
With her escape plan crumbling, Stella pivots fast. This week, she trades desperation for strategy, stepping into Frankie’s power vacuum and testing her influence over a town that’s fast losing patience. Tarquin becomes her only reliable ally as she takes a high-stakes gamble on the stock market and tries to reassert control.
Meanwhile, Connor’s sudden disappearance—and the vanishing of the town’s valuables—drives tensions higher. The locals want answers. Stella doesn’t have them, but she knows she’s out of time.
The central tension lands clean: others have left. Why can’t she?
This is the turning point. Stella’s no longer running. She’s starting to push back. And the town should be worried.
Bay of Fires continues Sunday at 8.00pm on ABC and ABC iview.
