The Valley Season Two Episode 13 The Cruise From Hell

“The Cruise From Hell” lives up to its name as Kristen’s engagement trip in Hawaii unravels into chaos. Emotions flare as Brittany, Michelle, Janet, and others clash over who was invited where, who said what, and who’s loyal to whom. Kristen wants peace, but drama finds her at every turn—from Brittany leaking her engagement to Jax, to Janet’s accusations against Danny escalating into a serious discussion of boundaries and what qualifies as sexual assault.

Zack tries to keep the group on track while battling seasickness, Luke’s outfit becomes an unexpected highlight, and friendships fracture as past tensions resurface—especially between Kristen, Janet, and Michele. The group’s boat ride is anything but relaxing, and by the end, almost no one is on the same page. Even the aftershow adds fuel to the fire, with everyone arguing over what was said, what was heard, and whether Janet is doing more harm than good with her accusations.
