Estranged from Sonny, Michael colluded with Sonny’s new hire, Dex, to take his dad down. Harmony went on a crime spree to protect her big secret: Willow is Nina’s biological daughter, not hers. She was struck by a vehicle driven by Sasha; before dying, she spilled the truth about Nina and Willow to Carly. Carly kept the info to herself.

Selina strong-armed Brad into working for her and solidified business arrangements with Sonny and Curtis…. Spinelli was the secret mastermind behind Society Setups and its illegal matching algorithm….

WOE IS ME

Jordan took the rap for Stella’s failure to file the divorce papers. Jordan suspected that Portia was hiding that Curtis, not Taggert, had sired Trina.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

Dante’s summer camp buddy, Cody, took a job at the Quartermaine stables and pursued Britt. Cody proved to be Mac’s son (by Dominique), but he kept mum, angling for a fortune in diamonds (in the form of a necklace formerly belonging to Leopold Taub, his supposed father). Victor also wanted the jewelry, as it contained fragments of the Ice Princess. Lucy used herself as bait to try to get the goods on Victor. Victor held Ethan hostage to force Holly to commit crimes on his behalf, including framing Anna for Lucy’s “murder”. Anna and Valentin worked to prove her innocence and bring Lucy home. Holly and Robert conspired to outwit Victor. Before Holly went off to rescue Ethan, she secured the necklace for Robert.

BAD TO THE BONE

On the teens’ getaway to Sonny’s cabin, Esme drugged Trina and recorded Josslyn and Cameron’s lovemaking. Esme leaked the sex tape and framed Trina, who was arrested. Hoping to bust Esme, Spencer pretended to believe that Trina was guilty. Stung, Trina began keeping company with cop Rory. Kevin was wary of Esme’s interest in Ryan — her secret father! Ryan pressured Esme to break up Nikolas and Ava. At a particularly shaky moment in his marriage, Nik slept with Esme. Ava found out and sent Esme over the side of the parapet. To conceal this, Nik made it look like Esme had fled town. Trina was ultimately exonerated, but Spencer did time (first in Spring Ridge, then in Pentonville, where Cyrus looked out for him). Spencer and Trina secretly yearned for one another. Esme resurfaced — pregnant! — and Nik locked her up in a Wyndemere tower. To save Nik’s hide, Liz pretended that Nik impregnated her. Dex and Joss developed a mutual attraction as she grew apart from Cam. Heather returned and shared a secret with Ryan — she is Esme’s mother!
