Carla's investigation of missing money at the local soccer club is touched by the shadow of Jack Kavel, the dead man recently found dumped in the nets. To make matters worse, her old lover Matt coaches the local team and wherever she turns, there he is. As she tries to connect the money and the body, she discovers that the best player at the club has a load of new stuff he couldn't possibly afford - looks like she's got her man, but is there more to the story? Using her local knowledge and a solid dose of intuition, Carla finds the thief - but in the most unlikely place. Meanwhile she gets a lead on her shooter and goes after him. Face to face with the man who tried to kill her, Carla begins to regret her impetuous behaviour.

Carla is hired by a society princess to find out who stole her precious jewels. Sounds like a nice, simple, fun job for a change, especially when she seems surrounded by death in the rest of her life. All she has to do is attend parties, look great and indulge in a bit of gossip. Right? Wrong. Carla discovers that in the pursuit of a rich man to love neither wives nor mistresses come out unscathed. Meanwhile her investigations focus on Matt's girlfriend Amanda, a lawyer with something to prove, a large criminal client list and Carla's best chance at discovering who ordered the hit on her. But Amanda's a tougher nut than that. To her dismay Angela invites Gandolfi over for family dinner. When he manages to face her family's inquisition with good grace and humour, Carla's prepared to cut him some slack - he might be all right after all. How is she to know that her ex is waiting on her doorstep.

Hotdog sales and standover men go hand in hand in nightclub land. But when Carla attempts to help out a client suffering at the hands of some heavy competition, she also finds out that the cops don't mind the occasional hotdog. But it's not just the cops with sauce on their fingers…. Carla's best friend Lisa is finally caught with the wrong man in her bed a week out from her wedding - Carla's professional life collides head on with her love life.

Who would have thought a six year old's birthday party could cause so much grief? When Carla arrives and discovers her niece sobbing into her fairy floss, she decides to find out why her best friend Gigi won't come to the little girl's party. What she discovers are serious brawls over property development, violence as a negotiation tool.. Gandolfi tries to get Matt to talk but Matt has shut down - he's already said too much and knows he's in too deep for Gandolfi to help him. Using a clue from Matt, Carla finally discovers who ordered the hit on both her and Jack, but in doing so becomes the sole witness to a third crime which puts her life in even more danger.

In the final episode, Lisa's wedding is back on - just. But celebrations get off to a shaky start when Gandolfi raids Joe Testro's house on the morning of the ceremony. As Carla attempts to perform her duties as head bridesmaid, she must also protect herself from Joe Testro. Before the day is done Leo will woo Angela with a romantic song, Lisa will privately betray and publicly embarrass her father, Gandolfi and Matt will finally come to blows.
