Guasti Cose began a short-lived series relaunch with the Moore family preparing for Vince's upcoming birthday party at the Hanley mansion. Arriving uninvited was Mark Zane, Vincent Moore's high school nemesis who had plans to kill Vince at the party, but instead was found on the grounds and thrown from the mansion. Also at the party was the Bale family, in for a surprise as Robert's nephew, Darren Reynolds, came out in front of half the town by kissing Blake Thomas. Robert's son Alec had some kissing of his own to do with ex-girlfriend Jessica Reyes, as the two got drunk and had sex in an upstairs in an empty bedroom. Jessica tried talking to Alec afterward, but he led her to believe that he was only interested in rekindling a romance with another ex-girlfriend, Akilah. Robert, however, was preoccupied with taping Felicia's drunken antics at the party in the hopes of using the tape to discredit her at their upcoming divorce trial. This angered Melissa, who was upset that Robert was still thinking about Felicia all the time. When Melissa later ran into Felicia, she lied about her wedding to Robert, claiming that it would be occuring in December, earlier than expected.

Jessica Reyes got drunk at Vincent Moore's birthday party and ended up sleeping with her ex, Alec Bale.

Valerie Hanley-Holden returned to town in time for the party and to arouse suspicions from her husband, Simon, about where she'd really been and to irritate her son, Matt, who still resents his mother for keeping his true paternity a secret from Simon. Valerie had enough on her mind, however, as she focused on finding out more secrets from Melissa Maddock's past. Her brother, Michael, was dealing with his own secrets as Mark stumbled across the secret panel in Michael's study. Initially attempting to wreak havoc on Vince's life by pretending that the security guard at the party shot him, Mark decided to use his knowledge of Michael's secrets to blackmail him. Meanwhile, Michael's secret — the very much alive Sean Moore — continued living his life in the nearby city of Fordham, unaware that his also-presumed-dead brother, Derek, was slowly manipulating him into pursuing a relationship with one of their neighbors in an effort to drive a wedge between Sean and his family.

Michael Thomas finally awoke from his coma, only to run into Vince and learn everything that's happened since he's been gone. The extenuating circumstances of his presence in Marquette Cove caused Thomas to reconsider his ties to the town and leave without saying goodbye to his brother, Blake. Morris was arrested for buying drugs, leaving Kelli to bail him out of jail. Robert's anger with Darren for "ebmarrassing" their family reached a boiling point, pushing his nephew away from him, yet also pushing Darren closer to Blake, as the two finally set a time for their first date.

The Moore family experienced a few triumphs as Leslie was promoted at Hanley Enterprises and Akilah's relationship with Alec continued to grow. Things didn't go so well for Vince, however, who continued to clash with rival Mark as he grew suspicious of Mark's relationship with his new father figure, Michael, as well as Michael's own interest in Vince's family. Michael had other schemes on his mind as well, as he helped Valerie turn one of his associates into the spitting image of the deceased Victor Lopez. Intent on figuring out Melissa's secret connection to Victor, Valerie used the Victor replica to haunt Melissa.

Melissa Maddock was haunted by Victor Lopez, who seemed to have returned from the grave. Her rival Valerie Hanley-Holden hired an impostor to stalk her.

While Melissa began to think she was imagining things as she saw Victor around town, she reached a breaking point and collapsed, being rushed to the hospital where she soon learned that she was pregnant. Aaron, Melissa's cousin, called Robert in order to get him down to the hospital, but hearing a woman's voice in the background made him suspicious of Robert's whereabouts and increasingly upset at Melissa's pregnancy and wedding planned for December. Robert, meanwhile, was uneasy as he tried hiding his latest extra-marital affair. With her marriage to Robert annulled, Felicia tried moving on with her life with the help of her family, but found it difficult to move on. Her son, Alec, on the other hand, was intent on starting a new relationship with Akilah, unaware that his drunken night with Jessica last month had now resulted in a pregnancy. Jessica told Kelli about her pregnancy after Kelli figured out something was up at school. Kelli mended her fences with Jessica in order to help her decide whether or not to get an abortion.

Morris was given community service for drug possession. Sean continued his relationship with Denise, unaware of his real identity, and they had sex, angering Denise's son. Mark continued to blackmail Michael with the evidence of Sean's whereabouts. Joel became jealous when he discovered that Anna was dating a co-worker, but he began a friendship with newly single Felicia Bale when they both ended up in the same AA meeting. Blake and Darren finally had sex, prompting Chris to devise a plan to break up their relationship. Jack Atlas, Darren's ex-boyfriend, arrived in town to help Chris with his scheme. Jack "confessed" to Darren that he was HIV-positive, in the hopes of making Darren think he was as well, so he could break Darren up with Blake.

Ricard Branch told Quentin he was done selling drugs for him for good, but he'd angered Quentin and revenge was promised. As the season came to a close, Alec received a mysterious package from an unknown sender...was the information about Ricard's secrets in the package, ready to be revealed? Or something else?
