A year later from the incidents in "Battle Royale", Liz Taylor reflects on the renovated and upscale Hotel Cortez. Their first guests are a couple of travel bloggers who like the rooms, however, Sally materializes and kills the husband, while Will Drake kills the wife. Liz and Iris lament the new problems that the murderous ghosts are leaving them with, and hold a meeting with the ghosts urging them to stop the murders. Sally and Will decline to stop, as they enjoy getting off on killing. James March intervenes and orders them to end it, else they would lose the hotel. Iris finds a miserable Sally and in order to cheer her, Iris gifts her a phone with WiFi connection. Sally gets addicted to social media and forgets about her own misery.
More than a year after his death a dejected Will laments the end of his fashion empire. Liz has a plan and asks Will to start designing again, keeping her the "face" of the line. Liz attends the board meetings for Will's companies and runs it on his behalf. They hold impromptu fashion shows utilizing the ghosts and Ramona as models, while banning filming and cameras. Liz still cannot find happiness in it and Iris, wanting to help her friend find closure, invites Billie Dean Howard to communicate with Liz's lost love, Tristan. Billie Dean communicates with him and finds him unresponsive making Liz think that Tristan still blames her for his death. Billie Dean also manages to communicate with Donovan, who asks her to tell Iris that he loves her and that he has moved on and is happy. In the meantime, Liz attends the birth of her granddaughter but then learns that she has prostate cancer. Ramona offers to turn Liz, but Liz assembles the ghosts and asks them to murder her since she calls them family. The Countess makes an appearance for the first time since her own death over a year ago and slices open Liz's throat while the other ghosts watch. Liz is visited at last by Tristan, who had not wanted to interfere so that Liz could continue living.
