The Valley Season 2, Episode 10 Recap: Divorce & Denial. Jax is fresh out of rehab, but there’s nothing fresh about his attitude. From playing the victim to being served divorce papers, Episode 10 of The Valley delivers the Bravo drama we’ve come to expect.
Let me just start by saying: if anyone still believes Jax has changed, please show me the receipt. Because The Valley Season 2 Episode 10 opens with Jax leaving rehab and ends with him getting served divorce papers, and in between is a whole mess of denial, deflection, and drama.
🚩 Jax: Rehab Graduate or Gaslight King?
Jesse picks Jax up from rehab, and he immediately sets the tone by asking if he’s invited to Jesse’s party. Not “thank you,” not “I’m working on myself,” but “am I on the guest list?” Classic Jax.
He talks a big game about accountability, but as soon as he sees Brittany moved his stuff to the garage, he spirals. His first reaction? “No boxes. Trash bags. For the trash.” Jax, sir, you just got out of a facility. Maybe take a breath?
He’s furious Brittany had a party while he was away, and even more offended that she didn’t visit him. But let’s be real—maybe she needed a breather too. He admits he stopped paying the bills because he found photos B sent to Julian. Super mature.
⭐️ Michelle’s Moment, Finally
Michelle opens up about her mom’s deteriorating health and how she asked Jesse to let Isabella spend extra time with her grandmother. Jesse said no. I don’t have enough side-eye emojis for that. Between this and his bro-mance with Jax, Jesse’s not looking great.
Thankfully, Michelle seems to be in a good place with Aaron, who has bonded with her daughter and seems like the one adult in this entire cast.
🍺 Boys’ Dinner Disaster
Jax gathers the guys to celebrate his sobriety (or whatever version of it he’s selling), and shocker: it turns into an ambush. He calls out Danny for the bar party Brittany threw and accuses him of hijacking his sacred man cave. Danny, bless him, keeps his cool and hits back in his confessional, wondering why Jax is still angry after thirty days of “working on his anger.” Fair question.
Jason Caperna, despite saying he wouldn’t, jumps into the fray and tears into Danny over his behavior at the bar event. Jason says Danny needs a mental health facility, not just a hangover cure. Yikes.
Danny fights back, pointing out that he feels ganged up on and betrayed. And honestly? He’s not wrong. Watching Jax and Jason tag-team him is like watching a Bravo-themed episode of WWE.
🆚 Janet vs. Nia: Round 1,102
At Zack’s party for Benji, Nia finally tries to clear the air with Janet. Bad idea. Janet doubles down on everything: accusing Danny of blacking out, claiming he made women uncomfortable, and then telling Nia if her husband did all that sober, maybe he’s just an a**hole.
Nia holds her own, calling out Janet’s refusal to apologize and noting that she just twists narratives to fit her own story. It’s giving puppet master energy, and not in a cute way.
💥 A Party, a Crash, and a Serve
Just when you think things have peaked, Jax crashes Jesse’s party like the human wrecking ball he is. Brittany, dressed like she got lost on the way to a sci-fi convention, looks mortified. And THEN, as if the Bravo gods planned it, he gets served. Not a drink. Divorce papers.
He thought it was podcast paperwork. I screamed.
🎬 Final Thoughts
This episode was a buffet of Bravo messiness. Between Jax’s denial spiral, Danny’s emotional takedown, Michelle’s heartbreaking moment, and Janet doing what Janet does best (stirring that pot), The Valley is truly in its villain era.
And I am so here for it, even after saying I wasn’t enjoying the start of the season.

He plays the victim to his own behaviour and chaos.
Jax is a arrogant narcissist and emotional manipulator ✋🛑
