“Emotional, physical, in any way” – The Valley star Jesse Lally presses Aaron Nosler about his past with Michelle

The Valley Season 2 returned on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, with Episode 11, 'El Coyote Ugly'. The Hawaiian cast trip wasted no time erupting into confrontation.

Just minutes after the group sat down for a sunset dinner, producers flashed forward two hours. The scene cuts to Jesse Lally demanding answers from Michelle Saniei’s boyfriend, Aaron Nosler, about alleged cheating he believes overlapped with his marriage.

“Did you or did you not cross a line when I was married to Michelle? Emotional, physical, in any way, did you cross the line?”

Jesse asked, leaving Aaron speechless as a “To Be Continued” card cut the scene. The cliff-hanger capped an episode already thick with tension from the moment the crew touched down in Maui, setting up the fault lines viewers will see when The Valley episode 12 airs July 1.

Jesse Lally confronts Aaron Nosler over an alleged affair with Michelle in The Valley

The Valley has chronicled Jesse Lally’s complicated separation from Michelle since Season 1, but Episode 11 elevated the drama by putting Jesse and Aaron face-to-face on vacation. Early in the hour, a producer asked Jesse how he felt about sharing a trip with the man dating his still-legal wife. Jesse replied on camera that he “had some issues” because Aaron

“starts dating my still-wife with a 4-year-old daughter”

yet never called to discuss boundaries. He also resented Aaron, he said on June 24, for criticizing his nightly 7 p.m. FaceTime check-ins with his daughter, Isabella, and for commenting that Jesse “spoils” the child.

Throughout The Valley Season 2, Jesse has sprinkled “little crumbs” about why he thinks Michelle’s relationship with Aaron began during their marriage. Earlier episodes featured Jesse claiming that Michelle was hiking near Aaron’s house without her wedding ring and stocking their kitchen with honey from Aaron’s company.

In a confessional that aired May 27, Jesse said Michelle admitted to cheating but denied it was with Aaron; Jesse told cameras he is “90 percent sure” Aaron was involved. During the Bravo digital Valley After Show, released June 18, Jesse added that a mutual friend confronted Michelle “right before filming” and she admitted an affair, though she still insisted Aaron was not the man.

Aaron’s perspective arrived in Episode 11 when he told Michelle he “couldn’t breathe” after seeing Jesse in the same room, even though they had not spoken—yet he hoped they might someday “do a family trip” with Isabella. Michelle said, “That’s a long way off,” but called it “positive thinking.”

Moments later, the dinner scene exploded into Jesse’s direct interrogation. The Valley cameras froze on Aaron’s stunned stare, leaving fans to wonder whether he will admit anything when Episode 12 resumes the conversation.

What else happened in the episode

While Jesse Lally’s cheating accusations took center stage in The Valley Season 2, Episode 11, several ongoing storylines also escalated. Before the cast’s Hawaii trip, Luke Broderick finalized plans to propose to Kristen Doute.

With help from Zack Wickham and the Booko brothers, Luke arranged a beachside surprise that Kristen, unaware of the proposal, thought was just a group outing. The ring storyline has developed over several episodes, setting the stage for a potential reveal in Episode 12.

Back in Los Angeles, the male cast members took part in a life-coaching “men’s group” led by Jesse’s coach, Scott. In a moment that aired on June 24, the group performed bonding exercises, including a “resentment list” ritual.

Jax Taylor used the opportunity to explain why he was skipping Hawaii, claiming he wanted time with his son, Cruz. Danny, however, appeared skeptical and admitted he sometimes hides his drinking, possibly hinting at deeper conflicts ahead.

Drama also unfolded during a girls’ night. Michelle accused Kristen of spreading gossip about Aaron, only to learn Zack was the source. Meanwhile, tensions flared between Janet Caperna and Nia Booko, with Janet criticizing Nia’s emotional reaction and drawing further backlash.

The argument spilled into the group’s 1990s-themed field day, where the women avoided each other, and Brittany Cartwright ignored Jax. In Maui, initial excitement quickly gave way to tension. Aaron joked about swingers, while Jesse grew fixated on the timeline of Michelle’s past relationship. With Episode 12 looming, The Valley promises more revelations ahead.
