Reality television is a healthy balance of love and drama, and nothing’s a better example than The Valley: Persian Style. The new Bravo series puts rocky couples together in a friend group that never gets along. It is a hot mess … but fans can’t look away.
What Happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 5?
The fifth episode continues with the cast’s trip to Palm Springs. And what was once a peaceful vacation turned sour once an unwanted guest arrived. Can they turn this vacay around? Here’s everything that happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 5.
Dennis and Golnesa continue to butt heads over their past
We’re back at Adam’s birthday dinner and he’s followed Golnesa outside after she stormed out. After a heart to heart (and a weed break) she finally comes back to the table and lets her beef go with Dennis for the birthday boy’s sake.
They keep the party going at a nearby club, and instantly RJ feels like the 11th wheel to these couples. Now that Dennis is back in the mix, he can’t make any moves on GG. So, he links up with their server Courtney in an inadvertent way to make GG jealous, which actually ends up working. When he asks GG what she thinks of her, she bluntly responded with a one-word assessment: “b*tch”.
The morning comes, and Dennis ends up staying the night at the villa. And no, he and GG don’t share a room. But, they do have a poolside chat that doesn’t go well. Just like all of their on-screen conversations, it ends with GG getting heated and walking away. To her credit, though, Dennis rips into her, telling her that he’s “the successful one” and she’s broke. Yikes.
GG runs and tells the others what went down immediately. And while they are supportive, both Sky and RJ tell her that she was asking for it. After all, why did she think secretly inviting her worst enemy to a group trip would go over well?
Nonetheless, she wants Dennis to leave and he is all for it. For some reason, MJ, the one who ripped into him the most last night, stops him from going. He gives it another chance and maintains that if they have one more blowup, he and his business partnership are leaving GG for good.
RJ doesn’t know how to slow himself down
A racetrack regular, Greg convinces the group (including Dennis) to go to the speedway. Of course, this instantly seems insensitive to his wife Tanin. After learning of her near-death car accident, racing at full-speed seems thoughtless. Surprisingly, though, Tanin is actually excited to race. She shared in her confessional that in her horrific car accident, she was the passenger of the vehicle. So, being in the driver seat and taking control is where she’s most comfortable.
They all have fun driving around and all is well until RJ gets ahold of the steering wheel. An undisclosed adrenaline junkie, he completely floors it with Amir in the car, speeding his way through the course. His crazy driving eventually leads to him steering it right into the dirt, causing a gigantic puff of smoke that engulf the entire vehicle. Everyone looks to the smoke with concern, and luckily he and Amir are fine. But, Amir did let him know that his driving privileges are now gone forever, which is for the best.
The racing squad makes it back to the villa and GG is miserable. She blames Dennis for ruining her trip, as she’s trying to avoid him and didn’t go to the tracks because he was there. Adam and Bamshad get fed up with this situation and confront Dennis in his room. To their delight, he is fine with leaving and is gone within minutes.
Now it’s time to focus on their Persian feast in the backyard and the departed unwanted guest has been swapped for another. RJ decides to bring Courtney over, and GG recognizes instantly that he’s trying to make her jealous. She maintains that it’s not working…but instantly goes in the backyard to light a blunt. Way to be subtle.
A ripple effect of rage
While Reza sets the table for dinner, Sky decides to boss him around on where to put the utensils. He’s visibly upset, but decides to let it slide.
After Greg finishes the steak and she gives it a try, Sky instantly critiques it, calling it “very chewy”. This finally sets Reza off, so much so that he brings gossip to the table.
Tanin confided in him that she’s trying to launch a skincare brand. And, when she went to present her serum (for humans) to Sky, she put it on her dogs. He calls her out for not supporting a true friend.
This angers Sky, who is upset that Tanin talked behind her back. Turning her sights on her supposed best friend, Sky asks her if she’s ever bought her luxury jewelry at retail price. Highly offended, Tanin reveals that she’s spent thousands of her dollars on her products, and a small discount shouldn’t diminish that.
Greg gets mad, not because Tanin’s being grilled by Sky, but because of Sky’s taste. She repeatedly mentions during the dinner that she wants to leave the valley, which pisses him off. He tells her that as a native, he interprets her comment as saying that the area is beneath her.
She doesn’t agree, but does say that someone is beneath her, and that person is Golnessa. Sky also calls her a “piece of sh*t”, triggering anger from Adam. Eventually, after upsetting everyone at the table, Sky storms off.
So … it’s safe to assume that Courtney didn’t get a good impression from this friend group.
The Valley: Persian Style airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
