Summary *Coarse Language*Rumours of a bust consume the nation. The iron ore price has plummeted and FMG appears to be in trouble. BC Iron CEO Mike Young embarks on the second biggest deal of his life, to renegotiate the joint venture with FMG.Fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas is dealing with the fallout from the sudden closure of her King St boutique. But on the upside, her launch at New York Fashion Week has lead to interest from the Middle East. Ruth's trademark sexy gowns will have to be reinvented for a very conservative market. She designs a new collection and shows Perth she is still in business with a show at the Hilton Hotel.When the iron ore price bounces back, everyone comes out to play including A-lister and ex-Penthouse Pet Bree Maddox. Behind Bree's glamorous exterior is a savvy businesswoman who became a multimillionaire in her 20s, but her success is often attributed to ex-husband Mal Day, owner of adultshop.com. Once Boomtown's power couple, Bree gets on with life after their high profile split. She now runs Perth's biggest gay and lesbian venue - The Court Hotel - and takes a surprising hands on role.
