Episode 6 of The Valley season 2 kicked off where it left off with Nia getting scolded by Brittany, Jasmine, and Janet. In the last episode, Nia said that her husband, Danny, was “asleep” rather than saying he was wasted. Nia mentioned that she was blindsided and confused as to why her friends were speaking about her behind her back.

Janet revealed in her confessional that she had learned Nia was seeking support from Alcoholics Anonymous, but did not have any proof. Janet felt sympathy for Nia, who was consistently defending her husband's actions. However, Brittany, Jasmine, and Janet felt disrespected after hearing Nia's side of the story.

Soon, Danny woke up, and Nia asked him to have a chat with her alone. Nia was upset and started crying in bed, with Danny trying to comfort her as he struggled to understand the situation.

Meanwhile, Scheana and Michelle went to Runyon Canyon Park. During their adventure, Michelle revealed that she had decided that it was in her best interest not to talk to her ex, Jesse. The only exception to the rule would apply when it was about their daughter, Isabella.

In episode 5 of The Valley season 2, Michelle admitted that she "kissed another guy" during her marriage to Jesse. But she suspected that Jesse also cheated on her due to him "having eight-hour lunches."

Things have not been good for Michelle, romantically, as her current boyfriend, Aaron, said that if it did not get better between the two, they should just take a break. Later, Jesse was shown talking to his life coach as he opened up about Michelle cheating on him. The segment ended with the coach asking Jesse to scream all his sorrows onto a pillow, which he did.

The next day, the last day for their Santa Barbara trip, everyone chipped in to throw a dinner for Nia. Nia told her The Valley castmates what made her feel bad was her friends talking about her behind her back. Nia then recalled her childhood when she and her mother often lived without a home.

Even during adulthood, The Valley star revealed that she had to sleep in her car in the parking lot of her job as she was not able to pay rent. She then addressed Danny's drinking problem and revealed that they had counseling regarding the Halloween event. Nia further stated that she did not like it when Janet compared Danny to an ex-partner of hers who had addiction issues.
