3 key moments in the The Valley episode 12 finale

1) The opening of Jax's Studio City

The past episodes saw Jax and Brittany working tirelessly for Jax's dream mini-bar. The start of episode 12 of The Valley, saw Jax panicking as its grand opening was only three days away. His partner Ali was also worried they wouldn't be able to make it before the deadline. But Jax assured him and said that they would be able to do it with the help of girls.

Further in the episode, viewers see Jax's Studio City's opening. Zack noted Brittany's efforts in the bar and said:

"This bar has Brittany written all over it. To the point that it should be called Brittany’s".

Jax agreed with him and even gushed when he announced that the bar was a joint effort and that he and Brittany made a good team.

Zack and Janet again come face-to-face after Zack's social media fiasco. Clarifying her position, she told him that she did want to invite him to her babymoon, but Zack refused to buy it. Things escalated quickly as Zack started yelling at Janet and asked her to "get the hell out". Jason stepped in and sternly asked Zack not to talk to his wife like that.

Jesse's fear of Michelle leaving him has been at an all-time high after Kristen revealed a rumor that said a divorce was coming through. But nothing had been confirmed by Michelle.

In the final episode, in an argument, Jesse told Michelle that he thought she had strong family values and would do whatever it took to fix the problem. And not just abandon the problem.

While he was talking about their separation, Michelle was blunt about her state of mind. She said she had lost feelings for Jesse. She made it clear that she was not on the same page with Jesse when it came to strengthening their relationship on their The Valley vacation.
