Season 1 of The Valley showed Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei making a final-ditch effort to save their marriage. During filming, their co-star Kristen Doute revealed a rumor that Michelle had been seeing another man for over a year. And all the secrets are coming to light now.
On The Valley Season 2 Episode, Jesse is channeling Agatha Christie in an effort to make sense of Michelle’s new relationship with Aaron Nosler. And you’d never guess what item in his pantry had him putting two-and-two together.
The Valley Season 2 Episode 3 sneak peek
During a sneak peek for Episode 3, Jesse shared the results of his sleuthing with Kristen and her fiancé, Luke Broderick.
“I don’t actually know what’s going on with Michelle. She’s most likely with her boyfriend for the last two years,” he told the betrothed couple. Jesse further explained his doubts in a confessional interview, saying, “nothing about Michelle and Aaron adds up. I think there was a situation that happened with the two of them while I was married.”
Meanwhile, Kristen told producers that the man she suspected Michelle was seeing the previous year was not her current boyfriend. She stated, “Just to be clear, the guy that I was talking about Michelle seeing last summer, that is not Aaron.”
Michelle told Jesse that Aaron “said that he would never date a married woman or never date a woman with a kid.” However, her ex-husband is not convinced. He told Kristen and Luke, “There’s just too many things, you know. Like his honey company that’s been in my cabinet for two years.”
Aaron is the founder of the Kilo Honey Company. The sneak peek included a flashback of the happy couple sampling his wares to none other than Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay. She and The Valley star Nia Booko loved the product.
Back to Jesse’s conversation with his costars, the real estate agent explained how he got suspicious when Michelle started a new workout regimen.
“There was a time, Michelle had gone all done up one day. And she started doing these hikes in the morning, and these walks to Runyon,” he said. “And I’m like, ‘why aren’t you wearing your wedding ring?’ She’s like, ‘well, I’m you know, the diamond, I don’t feel super safe walking the streets.’ And I’m like, ‘what about your wedding band?'”
Jesse continued, “And when I got his Instagram on New Years Day, I click on his profile. And I click on his honey company. I’m like ‘the m*therf*cking honey.'”
It turns out that Aaron resided at “a place near Runyon” and sold his honey from that location as well.
“I remember going to Whole Foods and I say, ‘hey, I can’t find the honey.’ And she goes ‘I get it at a place near Runyon.’ Where is his house?” The Valley star asked Kristen and Luke.
Finally, in a shocking confessional interview, Jesse revealed a conversation he had with Michelle “before the summer.” During that interaction, she “admitted to cheating.” He said, “And I’m 90 percent sure that this person was Aaron. And if it wasn’t, then she cheated on me twice.”
