The Valley Episode 3 Recap: Doubting Doute
Welcome back to The Valley Episode 3 recap, “Doubting Doute.” Last week’s episode showed the guys and gals having their respective nights out on the town. However, this week, Kristen found herself at the center of some messy gossip that almost seemed like a bad game of telephone. Everyone, and I mean everyone, chose to turn on Kristen due to the accusations she hurled like a discus at Michelle during Girl’s Night. Sadly, Jesse and Michelle are also realizing that they are up the creek with no paddle when it comes to their relationship. Viewers finally get a peek into Janet and Jason’s life as both are stressed about life with their new baby. Here’s everything that went down in The Valley Episode 3.
Farmer market rant
Leave it to Jax to try and turn lemons into literal lemonade as he tried to sugarcoat just how badly Guy’s Night went. Jax still seems to be having trouble understanding that inviting Alex, Kristen’s ex-boyfriend, was a major issue for Luke, who made it clear he was not going to be okay with that. Also, can we talk about how supportive Brittany is of Jax’s hjinxs? Literal saint.
Sadly Brittany, who tried to “take up” for Jax ended up getting stuck in the middle as Crazy Kristen lost her cool. I will say, whoever was in post-edit needs a raise cause Brittany’s voice dubbed over Kristen’s words was priceless.
Now the word on the curb via Brittany is that “Kristen started bringing up to Janet who told Jasmine that Michelle was racist and a Republican and all this crap.” See what I mean by a bad game of telephone?
Jasmine than jumped up into Kristen’s face letting her know she would not be thrown under the bus. Kristen doubled down and said “Actually that is what Zach told me.” Insert mayhem here. In the most dramatic fashion possible Zack yells, “I have never said that!”
Michelle isn’t pleased
Cameras caught up with Michelle and Jesse the morning after and the mother of one was not pleased. She tells her husband that she “hadn’t slept. The first time in my life I have ever heard my name associated with those words. I’m still shocked.”
Listen, Michelle has every right to be upset but Jesse is over there munching away on breakfast not looking bothered in the slightest. Come on, man! Jesse does show some emotion when he drops the F-Bomb but thankfully their daughter, Isabella makes sure to put her daddy in time out for the bad word.
I get the idea that Michelle knows Janet isn’t to blame and even points out that she is first generation Mexican and first generation Persian. Thankfully we live in a day of FaceTime so we can get to the bottom of the issues. Michelle dials Janet right up who literally laughs and calls the accusations “bullsh*t.” Janet notes she needs to have a conversation with Kristen because this gossip makes her “furious with her.” Janet confirms “those words and your name never came out of my mouth in the same sentence.”
During a confessional Janet explained that she had to put a “boundary” up with Kristen and she didn’t like it. So could it be revenge on Kristen’s part? Janet’s hot take is that Kristen doesn’t want Alex’s side of the break up to make its way to Luke. The theory tracks.
Kristen’s villain era
Kristen is oblivious that anyone is even upset with her at this point. She is packing her moving boxes and getting ready for her new space with Luke. I will say no one needs to know about Kristen’s “entire draw of sex toys” but here we are. At least she has room to play now.
I kinda get the vibe that Kristen thinks she’s a vigilante as she explains to Luke that she just saw red and Jax is being totally fake. According to Kristen, “before production started there was a lot of shit talking in the group. Janet was trying to start a bunch of shit by insinuating that Michelle could be a homophobic or racist. Then filming starts, cameras are up and we all are going to deny it.”
I love me an unhinged Kristen who feels like she has been backed into the corner. I give Luke credit because he was spot on telling Kristen she wrong for weaponzing the information told her. He seems grounded. God I hope she can hang on to this one.
The dinner from hell
Jesse and Michelle have decided to throw a Capri-themed party and I am already exhausted by it because the duo got into a fight about whether or not you should say the party is “sophisticated.”
The setting is a $18.5 million home and that was the classiest part of the night. While Luke hoped for a peaceful dinner all he got was chaos. Once again when asked about where the racist comments came from she pointed her fingers at Zack. But we all know when you point one finger at someone three are pointing back at you, Kristen.
However, the highlight of the night was seeing an activated Jesse who was told to calm down by Luke. Jesse wanted Kristen to admit that she lied but everything turned up when Jesse told Kristen to “shut the f*ck up,” causing Luke to jump up from his seat. It was a pearl clutching moment! As Zack put it, Kristen made a “shit stew with no recipe. Grabbing numbers out of it like it was Powerball.” I need a lie down.
The Valley continues Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
