As the series’ official couples, such as Danny and Nia Booko, Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick, and Jesse Lally and Lacy Nicole, navigate the challenges in their relationships, Brittany Cartwright transitions from her relationship with Jax Taylor to Brandon Hanson. Meanwhile, Jesse criticizes Michelle as being “performative,” Zack Wickham experiences a meltdown, and other tensions unfold.
In a sneak peek of the new season released by Bravo on February 18, Schwartz compliments Michelle, saying, “Michelle, you’re gorgeous.”
During a party with their fellow cast members, Jasmine Goode poses the question, “Who’s gonna kiss?” to which Janet Caperna responds, “Schwartz and Michelle!”
Then, at a party with their castmates, Jasmine Goode asks, “Who’s gonna kiss?” Janet Caperna replies, “Schwartz and Michelle!”
Later, as she sits in bed with Schwartz on her right side and Michelle on her left, Lala suggests, “We could have a threesome.”
As for Michelle’s relationship with estranged husband Jesse, things appear to remain strained. In addition to joking that Michelle getting topless on a beach will be “amazing” for her real estate career, Jesse slams her as “performative” after she begs him to divorce her, alluding that he’s the one holding things up.
“I just want to be happy again,” Michelle later tells her ex, through tears.
During a dinner date with Lacy, Jesse is seemingly shot down when he tells his girlfriend, “I love you.”
“Thank you,” she replies.
The other couples of the show also seem tense, with Luke complaining that his relationship with Kristen, who gave birth to their daughter, Kaia Lily, last July, is “completely lacking intimacy,” and Nia struggling postpartum after welcoming her fourth child with Danny.
“I feel very out of control, and I freaking hate it,” Nia cries, admitting during another moment that she hasn’t been sleeping and that Danny has been critical.
With Jax off the show, Brittany is “definitely getting [her] sparkle back” and doing so with Brandon.
After telling her then-boyfriend, “I miss ya,” during a FaceTime call, Brittany shares how their romance is different from her marriage to Jax.
“Brandon is, like, very emotionally stable,” she explains.
“That’s normal,” Janet replies.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Janet worries she’s going to lose friends, Brittany gets upset that Jasmine, who is seen celebrating her engagement to Melissa Marie, has seemingly chosen Jesse over her, and Zack tells just about everyone, “F*ck you.”
“F*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you … F*ck everyone!” he declares.
The Valley season three premieres on Wednesday, April 1, at 8/7c on Bravo.
