Elizabeth appeared conflicted about her feelings for Jake even though she seemed determined to move on with Ric. Olivia and Julian ended up in bed together when they tried to make Ned and Alexis jealous on New Year's Eve. Johnny's murder conviction was vacated when Delores Padilla testified that she had coerced his confession because there had been a conspiracy to convict Johnny of Anthony's murder.

Shawn followed the impostor to the old house on Elm Street then slipped inside minutes before Helena arrived. Michael's assistant quit after eloping in Las Vegas, so Michael hired Rosalie. Helena admitted that she had been proud when she'd learned that Nikolas had rigged the election by helping Agent Sloane rid a ballot box of votes that had been cast for Felicia.

Nikolas embraced his dark side by agreeing to collaborate with Helena to seize control of ELQ. Mayor Lomax fired Anna then hired Kyle Sloane as the new police commissioner. Anna persuaded Jordan to remain undercover but not to trust Kyle. Jordan agreed to report to Dante and Nathan until Anna was reinstated as police commissioner.

Anna was ordered to face an inquisition in Washington, DC, about her role in imprisoning Cesar Faison in the stables on Spoon Island. Jordan reluctantly agreed to remain undercover to help take down Duke and the Corinthos organization. Sonny asked Shawn to dig up Bill Eckert's grave to find out if the impostor was indeed Luke's identical cousin. Jordan followed Shawn to the cemetery, but Shawn caught her spying on him. The impostor threatened to target Michael and Lucas if Sonny and Julian didn't back down. The impostor invited Michael and Lucas to meet him at the Haunted Star for a "surprise." Michael filed a restraining order against Shawn after he caught Shawn trying to break into the basement of the house on Elm Street. Sonny and Julian plotted to escape from Pentonville. Carly found a gun in Jake's duffel bag along with a ski mask, coat, and boots similar to the ones the gunman had worn during Faison's escape.

The impostor shoved Dante down the basement stairs in the house on Elm Street when Dante ordered the impostor to unlock the door. Helena instructed Jake to plant a bomb on the Haunted Star. Jake completed his mission as guests began to arrive for the party. Carly realized that Jake had lied about his first session with Kevin, so she decided to turn over the incriminating evidence in Jake's bag to Nathan because she was certain that Jake would want someone to stop him from doing something terrible during one of his blackouts. A ballistics test confirmed that Jake's gun had been used to shoot Nathan during Cesar Faison's escape. Nathan arrested Jake on the Haunted Star.

Carly tried to persuade Michael to change his mind about petitioning for custody of Avery, but Michael vowed to raise Avery as a Quartermaine to punish Sonny for taking Michael away from A.J.

Tracy and Lulu questioned Helena about Luke, so Helena revealed Luke had asked Helena to join forces to take down Sonny.

Three separate DNA tests revealed that "Denise" was a close relative to Ava. Delia claimed that Denise was Ava's fraternal twin sister, but Silas knew the truth.
