Bill Spencer Jr. (Don Diamont) and C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain) make an agreement for him to purchase the land in which Spectra Fashions sat, and to knock the building down for land clearance to build a new Spencer Publications office. This job would take six months to prepare, which gave C.J. enough time to see younger (first cousin once removed) Sally Spectra off, in an attempt to re-open Spectra's doors as a fashion house to rival Forrester Creations, repeating history. Sally hires a team resembling that of the old Spectra Fashions gang and - in the best, most efficient way possible - by hiring their relatives! Joining this also larger-than-life Sally are her grandmother Shirley, Saul Feinberg's grandson Saul Feinberg Jr. (Alex Wyse) and Darlita (Danube Hermosillo) the receptionist, who has no relation to Darla Forrester (Schae Harrison).
Sally is shown having a cocktail at LL Giardino flirting with a bar tender, when she is called by her great aunt, the original Sally Spectra to save the old Spectra building and revive Spectra Fashions. Sally begins building a social media presence by pulling hamulating stunts at Steffy Forrester's (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) expense to garner free publicity and media attention for Spectra fashions. She begins dating Thomas Forrester (Pierson Fodé) and builds a relationship with him. Her grandmother Shirley (Patrika Darbo) whom Sally refers to as "grams" pushes her to leave Thomas, fearing it might take her focus away from reviving Spectra Fashions. She invites eye on fashion reporter Jarrett Maxwell (Andrew Collins) who works for Spencers publications to an early preview of Spectra fashions. Maxwell takes a liking to Sally's designs angering his boss Bill Spencer. Bill writes a disparaging article against Sally and Spectra fashions while using Maxwell's name on the article, in an attempt to destroy the business and quickly push through the sale of the old Spectra building.
This causes a major setback for Sally, but she continues on to rebuild Spectra Fashions with similar tactics done by her grandaunt Sally. Her grandmother Shirley secretly places a hidden camera on her sister Coco (Courtney Grosbeck). Coco heads off to work as an intern at Forrester Creations. Coco remains unaware of the hidden camera, allowing both Shirley and Sally access to all of Forrester's fashion designs before their runway debut.
Sally tries to break up with Thomas in an attempt absolves herself of any guilt from stealing Foresters designs, causing suspicion from Steffy who confronts her about it. Sally mimics all of Forrester's designs with slight alterations and launches her runway debut a day earlier to the Forresters. The runway debut becomes a success and angers Steffy who accuses Coco of betrayal and nearly causing her to lose her job. However this success becomes short-lived when the Forresters sues Sally and Sally is arrested and charged with grand larceny and industrial espionage. This causes Spectra fashions to temporarily cease all operations. Thomas decides to help Sally by buying the Spectra building against Bill and investing millions, reviving Spectra fashions once again. He becomes co-partner with Sally and head designer of the business.
Bill goes all out in taking Sally down from rigging a charitable fashion contest between Forrester Creations and Spectra fashions to having his attorney Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) set the Spectra building on fire after learning that the building has electrical and wiring issues. Sally's business goes up in flames and Thomas leaves her after Bills lies to him telling him that his niece Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) whom Thomas shares a child with is dying.
Sally is left no options but to sell the building to Bill. However Bill's son Liam (Scott Clifton) temporarily takes over as CEO from his father and gifts Sally the deed to her building out of compassion. However that gift becomes voided due to legal loop holes found by Justin allowing Bill to go ahead with demolishing the building.
On the day of the demolition, Sally and her crew decides to stage a protest inside the old Spectra building preventing Bill from demolishing it. Bill threatens them out, but Liam decides to return along with Sally. Justin tries to text Bill, warning him that Liam and Sally were still inside but Bill does not sees this text until after he pulls the trigger blowing up the Spectra lot. Under the rubbles of the building, Sally and Liam are trapped, the two share a kiss thinking that they were not going to survive. Bill and Steffy manages to rescue them.
Sally briefly leaves along with the rest of the Spectra team. She returns a few month later as a designer for Forrester creations and has a brief relationship with Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks).

She flies back to Los Angeles to meet with Eric Forrester (John McCook), she asks Eric for help in securing a prominent fashion job for Summer in Milan on the promise that she leave the Forresters and Spencers alone.
