The Valley Recap: Joining the Dark Side
Briefly

The Valley showcases a cast that embodies chaos and darkness, with characters unable to mask their dysfunction. Jesse stands out as a particularly messy individual, reminiscent of Jax Taylor, indulging in reckless behavior while battling a hangover. As the group embarks on a winery adventure, breakdowns become a metaphorical theme for their lives. Amidst the chaos, lighter moments emerge, like Janet's humorous admission about Zack's hair during their troubled past. Overall, the show revels in highlighting the messiness of relationships and individual struggles within seemingly light-hearted contexts.
The darkness isn't burbling up, it's right there on the surface, running right through this whole thing like a stream of dirty water on the side of the road.
Chief among them is Jesse, who is giving Jax Taylor a run for his money in the malignant narcissist department.
Luke, an Igloo cooler full of rotted bait, gets out of the car and immediately diagnoses the problem. It's a cracked coolant tank.
The only good part of this wine-tasting journey is when Janet admits to Zack that she said his hair was a wig.
