All 10 episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 dropped on Hulu on May 15, and the MomTok crew is as dysfunctional as ever. But it was the jaw-dropping final moments of the season finale that truly left viewers stunned.

In Episode 10, Layla Taylor meets with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette, who finds himself at the center of MomTok drama after expressing feelings for Demi Engemann when the women traveled to Lisa Vanderpump's Italian castle for the show's second season. Demi, who is married to Brett Engemann, has continued to deny any relationship with Marciano. In fact, she even allegedly sent a cease and desist to MomTok's Jen Affleck, who tossed around the idea that Demi was unfaithful.

However, in a private conversation with Layla, Marciano revealed that it wasn’t Demi he allegedly had a romance with. In the jaw-dropping final moments of Season 2, he dropped a bombshell: he was heavily involved with another woman of MomTok.

Whitney Leavitt weighs in on how The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives' Season 2 poster is attracting attention because of its cast placement.

The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives Season 2 Ends On An Explosive Cliffhanger About Jessi Ngatikaura

Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ended on an incredibly shocking cliffhanger. After it was rumored that Demi Engemann was unfaithful to her husband, Brett Engemann, with Vanderpump Villa's Marciano Brunette, he dropped a bombshell that he allegedly actually had an "extensive" relationship with MomTok's Jessi Ngatikaura. No one saw this coming.

But, before we get into that, the entire season saw the ladies of MomTok skeptical about a rumor that Demi cheated on Brett when she and a few of the ladies of MomTok traveled to Italy to star in Season 2 of Vanderpump Villa. While there, Villa's Marciano Brunette admitted that he had an instant attraction to Demi. For those that watched Villa, we don't see Marciano and Demi do anything harmful besides having a flirtatious back and forth.

After Villa Season 2 premiered, Demi and Marciano found themselves in a bitter social media war in which Demi accused Marciano of alleged sexual assault. Meanwhile, Marciano alleged that he was not allowed at a Hulu event because a certain MomTok star didn't want her husband to know the truth. While fans all believed he was talking about Demi, it seems that he was actually speaking about Jessi.

In SLOMW Season 2, there is another rumor that pertains to Jessi and Marciano allegedly making out in public in Los Angeles. However, Jessi denied it ever happened when she was confronted by the MomTok ladies. "If I was dumb enough to do that, I wouldn’t do it in public," she insisted.

And, that's where we get to the conclusion of Episode 10 of SLOMW. Layla Taylor wants to get to the bottom of things about Marciano's rumored romance with Demi. However, he admits that nothing happened between him and Demi, although he did find her extremely attractive. He does admit that the rumor that he kissed Jessi in public, however, is very true. Additionally, Marciano allegedly claims that he and Jessi went further than just kissing, sharing that they had sex.

"It's not like this was just some freaking one-night stand," he tells Layla. "No, it's a full-blown f****** affair," she replies.

Marciano shares that Jessi's husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, "doesn't know the truth of how extensive it was. "He also tells Layla that he and Jessi also "tried meeting up" several times behind Jordan's back. With that bombshell, the season came to a close, leaving fans absolutely gobsmacked.

The husbands of MomTok played a much larger role in Season 2, with increased screen time and deeper involvement in the drama. In the teaser following the explosive finale, tensions rise as Jordan appears visibly upset after suspecting that Demi may have been the one to spread the rumor about his wife and Marciano.

Jordan has not commented on Marciano's bombshell allegations. However, he did share an Instagram Story about the show being No. 1 on Hulu when it was released.

In an interview on the The Viall Files podcast (via Us Weekly), Jessi did not go into detail about Marciano's allegations, but she did give an update on her marriage, and it appeared that the alleged infidelity put a strain on their relationship.

"I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage," she shared. "We’ve been through a lot and now it’s going to be public."

Jessi was also not wearing her wedding ring during the interview, and she was called out about it. "We’re trying our best — but things are a little tricky right now. I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard."

As for her friendship with Demi, Jessi told Page Six that it was irreparable. "I’ll never be friends with her again. And I’m a pretty forgiving person. So it’s a lot for me to say that."

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 is streaming on Hulu.
