The Valley is back and better more chaotic than ever.
Bravo released the trailer on Tuesday for the upcoming season of the Vanderpump Rules spin-off, giving fans a first look at what’s in store this season for Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute and Co., beginning with Kristen receiving a (cringetastic) marriage proposal from Luke Broderick.
“Will you be the catch of my lifetime, baby?” Luke asks Kristen during a boat outing in Maui.
This season, the future Mr. & Mrs.– who are officially sharing a home in Season 2– will work on building their future together as they continue trying to get pregnant. While things seem (mostly) great for Mariposa and her man, the same cannot be said for the rest of ‘The Valley’ crew, particularly Jax and Brittany, who are going through a divorce.
“Jax has been seeing other people and he had a girl staying at the house again last night,” Brittany tells Michelle Saniei (formerly Lally) and Janet Caperna in the trailer, before revealing the item that Jax’s alleged hookup left behind.
“There is a thong on my bathroom sink,” Brittany says. “Yeah, it’s like, why was there a baby wipe on top of it?”
“She wiped her vagina and it’s on your f**king counter,” Janet suggests, much to Brittany’s (and our) horror.
After Brittany calls out Jax for banging the thong-leaving, wipe-loving woman, it’s no surprise that the trailer later cuts to Jax being served divorce papers– a moment that The Ashley told you in August had occurred while cameras were rolling.
“I already told him: filing, restraining order and custody,” Brittany tells friends of her plan to handle the ongoing situation with Jax.
As for Jax, marriage isn’t the only thing he’s struggling with in the upcoming season; the former SUR bartender reveals to viewers that his mental health isn’t in a great place either.
“I’m at the point where I’m so in love with the man I want to become that I’m just not satisfied with who I am anymore,” he says.
Brittany later mentions in the trailer that her husband “is in rehab”– a scene that was presumably filmed around July when Jax entered a treatment facility and was ultimately diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.
While fans don’t get to see Brittany and Jax interact in the new trailer, Brittany tells her friends that Jax is keeping a close eye on her, claiming that he “has people watching” her, allegedly through cameras placed in their Valley Village home.
While fans watched last season as Michelle and Jesse Lally’s marriage came to a much-expected end, it seems that the exes have yet to make nice with one another, with Jesse claiming multiple times in the trailer that Michelle has been prostituting herself. (Yes, seriously.)
“Michelle admitted that she cheated on me,” Jesse tells Luke. “I have evidence that she’s sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night.”
Later in the clip, Michelle accuses Jesse of being “a f**king drunk,” only for Jesse to respond by calling her a “hooker.”
“I’m the mother of your f**king child!” Michelle shouts back at him.
As Michelle faces hooker allegations, Jason Caperna is hit with the accusation that he removes his wedding ring before hitting the town, while Danny Booko deals with (another season of) criticism about his drinking, along with allegations of “getting wasted and handsy and inappropriate.”
“My husband’s not the one out here grabbing a***s,” Janet says to the group about Danny, which causes Danny’s pageant queen wife, Nia Booko, to storm out while cussing at her co-stars.
In addition to navigating her husband’s behavior, viewers will watch this season as Nia opens up about her upbringing. In the trailer, she reveals to her friends that she used to “get cans out of trash cans to pay rent” and was sleeping in her car at one point. Fans will also watch this season as she and Danny house hunt for a place to accommodate their growing family.
The trailer also shows Lala Kent making her return to ‘The Valley,’ seemingly just to drag the absolute hell out of Jesse for being mean, toxic and a narcissist.
“I’m happy I don’t have to deal with you,” Lala tells Jesse, who in turn, thanks her for giving him “a good laugh.”
Viewers can also look forward to seeing Jasmine Goode take the next step in her relationship with partner Melissa Carelli; Zack Wickham and his interesting hair riding hard for his newly separated bestie Brittany; former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ stars Tom Schwartz and Scheana Shay; and, for some reason, Danny jumping on the cosmetic procedure trend by getting “scrotox.”
Season 2 of ‘The Valley’ premieres April 15 on Bravo. Watch the first trailer below!
