The Valley Season Two Episode 13 The Cruise From Hell

“The Cruise From Hell” lives up to its name as Kristen’s engagement trip in Hawaii unravels into chaos. Emotions flare as Brittany, Michelle, Janet, and others clash over who was invited where, who said what, and who’s loyal to whom. Kristen wants peace, but drama finds her at every turn—from Brittany leaking her engagement to Jax, to Janet’s accusations against Danny escalating into a serious discussion of boundaries and what qualifies as sexual assault.

Zack tries to keep the group on track while battling seasickness, Luke’s outfit becomes an unexpected highlight, and friendships fracture as past tensions resurface—especially between Kristen, Janet, and Michele. The group’s boat ride is anything but relaxing, and by the end, almost no one is on the same page. Even the aftershow adds fuel to the fire, with everyone arguing over what was said, what was heard, and whether Janet is doing more harm than good with her accusations.

RHOM-Who Told Lisa?!

RHOM S7 E4 – “Boogers and Birkins”

One day after Marysol’s wedding bash, the drama among the Miami ladies simmers and then boils over. Julia tries to make amends after her water-throwing outburst, but tensions with Guerdy remain unresolved—especially with Guerdy still hurting and absent in New York. Meanwhile, we meet the newest Housewife, Stephanie, a glam-loving real estate mogul’s wife with no filter and no interest in children (“Boogers and Birkins don’t mix”).

Relationships are front and center: Alexia and Todd are on a 3-month divorce pause, Larsa continues shading Lisa during a vulnerable time, and Julia and Martina share laughs (and accountability avoidance) at the grocery store. Kiki’s visit with her wandering, baby-making father adds comic relief, while Stephanie delivers a brutal line about “not diving back into the garbage” that offends Alexia but resonates nonetheless.

At Julia’s beautifully decorated baby shower, games like “truth or dare” and tasting fake poop are overshadowed by real-life hurt. Lisa confronts the women for gossiping while she was grieving her father, leading to a chaotic emotional exit that derails the celebration. Guerdy’s absence is felt, secrets are spilled, and alliances are shaken—again.

The Valley - Janet Bows Out, Luke Kneels Down

The Valley Season 2, Episode 12: “Will You Maui Me?”

In this emotionally charged episode, relationships are tested, boundaries confronted, and a surprise proposal brings unexpected tension.

The group continues their Hawaiian getaway, with dinner drama still lingering. Jesse confronts Aaron about a photo of his daughter Isabella posted on Father’s Day without his permission, leading to an emotionally honest exchange where Jesse also questions the nature of Aaron and Michelle’s past relationship. Aaron denies crossing any lines, but Jesse remains skeptical.

At the pool, tensions simmer among the women as unresolved issues from past arguments resurface, particularly involving Kristen, Janet, and Michelle. Janet accuses some in the group of deflecting from their own issues by stirring drama.

Meanwhile, Kristen and Luke, joined by Danny and Nia, head out fishing. Unbeknownst to Kristen, Luke is planning a proposal. Despite a rocky emotional start to the day, he successfully pops the question surrounded by dolphins — and Kristen says yes.

Back at the resort, Zack and Jesse prepare the Presidential Suite with flowers and petals for the newly engaged couple. However, the engagement news sparks resentment in Janet and Jason, who feel blindsided and excluded. Janet ultimately decides to skip the engagement celebration, believing her presence would cast a shadow over Kristen’s big moment. Jason reluctantly agrees, though tensions rise between them.

The episode closes with Luke and Kristen walking into a beautifully decorated suite, overwhelmed and happy — asking friends not to post anything yet, as they haven’t told family.

Elsewhere, Adriana feels slighted by Julia, believing she’s been pushed aside in favor of Marysol and Alexia. They clear the air — for now — and Adriana volunteers to throw a baby shower.
