Bravo’s “The Valley” returns this Tuesday, and if the episode title, “The Circle of Strife,” is anything to go by, the Santa Barbara sunshine isn’t quite enough to melt away the drama. In a familiar reality TV trope, Jesse and Kristen organize a getaway in hopes of smoothing out the issues in the group’s complicated relationships. But with this crew, a change of scenery often just means a new backdrop for the same old arguments.
Zack and Janet take center stage with a heart-to-heart that could either mend their fractured connection or shatter it completely. Meanwhile, Jax, ever the wildcard, wrestles with some internal struggles, stirring up further tension in the group dynamic.
Will the trip offer a fresh start, or will it simply relocate the drama? Find out Tuesday, May 6 at 9:00 PM ET on Bravo.
