Welcome to the recap for The Valley Season 2 Episode 3. Last episode, Brittany and Jax faced off in a Valley Village battle for the ages. And this week, the gang picks up right where they left off. Even though Jesse is the star of the show, in my opinion, his divorce from Michelle took quite an ugly turn this week. The rumors about Michelle start to get out of hand, and it’s hard to figure out who is lying. Brit is trying her best to pick up the pieces of her life. But she has a reprieve since Jax checked himself into rehab. So here’s exactly what went down in The Valley Season 2, Episode 3: “The Valley Season 2 Episode 23 Recap, “The Billionaire and the Boys’ Chat.”
Jax, party of one
Everyone, and I mean everyone, is in agreement that Jax checking into rehab is the right thing to do. Even though the feeling is a bit solemn, everyone is on the same page. It looks like Jason (our Valley superhero) was the man who drove Jax to the center. He quickly reported back to Brittany how the drop-off went. According to the lawyer, Jax is having a hard time separating that he is mad at Brittany for Julian, and acknowledging that he has to get the help for himself. To him, the two issues go hand in hand. Yet that isn’t exactly reality.
Brittany is nervous that the 45-year-old won’t take it seriously. And she has every right to be. The former bartender is great at charming those around him. But everyone seems to be rallying around our Kentucky Muffin in her time of need. So fingers crossed it gets a little easier for her. One thing is for sure: Brittany is no longer that naive 26-year-old girl; she is ready to fight.
Let them eat cake
I love that Kristen was having a tea party with her new BFF Jesse, and Isabella wasn’t even home. The father of one is making an effort to mend the fences he ripped down last year. And Kristen is more than open to a new start. Sadly, Michelle still wants nothing to do with the model, which makes sense why Kristen is Team Jesse. Not only is the Earl Grey being poured, but the tea is being spilled. Jesse has theories, and as the president of the Jesse Lally fan club, I’m here for it. The father of one tells Luke and Kristen that Michelle’s relationship with Aaron has been going on for at least two years. According to him, “nothing adds up.” Jesse is convinced Michelle has been cheating.
But Kristen is quick to point out that the guy she spoke about last season was not Aaron. But Jesse isn’t dumb, and he’s putting the puzzle pieces together. The Valley’s very own Hardy Boy points out that his cabinets have been stocked with Aaron’s honey company for a year. Evidently, according to Jesse, there is better honey. God, I love the shade. Michelle had also been taking Runyon runs. Now, as a person who was forced to hike the trail last time I was in LA, no one is doing this because they enjoy it. This spot is a means to an end. Either a good photo spot, makeout spot, or place to mutter to yourself about all the models in Lululemon. But more importantly, no one goes to Runyon in the summer wearing makeup.
This evidence, compiled with Michelle allegedly admitting she cheated, has put Jesse into a spiral.
The group chat from hell
Fans will finally get to see Luke talk a bit more this season. He and Danny have a cute friendship. And he tells Danny he is ready to propose. The timing, he isn’t too sure about, but he wants to give a ring to prove his commitment. Danny is the first to know, and that is a Fort Knox-worthy secret. The conversation turns to the guy’s group chat. However, Jason isn’t in it because he has an android. Priceless. No one seems thrilled to be in on this chat, and it seems mostly that is due to its creator, Jax. There are no rules in this boys’ chat, and it sounds equatable to a Fight Club scenario.
Jesse has made a comment questioning how Michelle has been able to afford her place when she hasn’t made commission in over two years. Ah, Messy Jesse is on the hunt, and he smells blood. The East Coaster then tells the guys he has evidence that she is sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night. I’m not great with math, but that seems cheap, right? It also seems Danny is a topic of discussion. It’s revealed by Jason that the child actor isn’t great with alcohol and was caught in a compromising position by Jasmine. According to Jason, Danny was “blackout drunk,” noting he approached Jas and put his hand on her thigh. Guys, I’m cringing. He then allegedly said “get daddy a drink” and grabbed her girlfriend, Melissa’s butt. All I know is Nia won’t be happy with this development.
Santa Barbara or bust!
The gang meets up at Dave and Buster’s for Janet’s birthday. I couldn’t even tell you what happened to the birthday girl because the sh*t hit the fan so quickly. Brittany shared with Nia and Michelle the rumors Jesse has been spreading. Naturally, Michelle breaks down before even getting the high score in skee-ball. Danny blindly walks right into the girls’ conversation and becomes a deer in the headlights, telling cameras, “I’m dead.”
Michelle then tried to start a campaign to kick Jesse out of the house for the trip he planned. The logic is skewed, but Michelle is only seeing red. Once again, Kristen is the voice of reason, saying, “He rented the house.” I feel like I just watched a vote on Survivor. Jesse has the last laugh, though, noting, “The best fights happen in the ring.”
The Valley is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
