COMING UP THIS SEASON

· Back in Charleston and ready to rebuild, Craig prepares to add author to his resume with his first children's book. He finds himself cautiously reentering a friendship with Austen, which threatens to derail some others.

· Austen is on top of the world. He and Salley seem to be happily friends with benefits, and his friendship with Craig is easy and carefree, finally. But when feelings change and hard truths are dropped, Austen is forced to reevaluate his closest relationships.

· Caught between where he wants to be and where he's been, Shep is working on bettering himself, but is forced to confront some harsh realities after "the one that got away" reemerges and old alliances are put to the test.

· Madison is juggling it all as a mom of two and successful business owner with a husband who travels constantly, a situation she finds more challenging than expected.

· Salley's interest in Austen remains strong, but she's trying to come to terms with the fact that it might not become something more. This realization puts strain on the rest of Salley's friendships within the group.

· Venita hosts the first party of the season and introduces the group to Allie. As she continues to navigate her friendship with Salley, she makes a revealing confession that helps to explain their complicated dynamic.

· Molly's music career continues to take off as she tries her hand at songwriting and playing the guitar. After a surprising romantic turn, her status within the group is tested and her allies seem to be caught up in their own scandals.

· Allie joins the group and immediately, yet inadvertently, causes multiple Charmers to butt heads. She sets in motion a series of events that will uncover one of Charleston's most scandalous and well-kept secrets.

· Whitner begins the season drawing interest from multiple women in the group, but shifting feelings and growing rumors soon complicate his position.
