It’s not just the McBee brothers and their relationships taking center stage in The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 2 on Bravo. The second season’s premiere episode also reintroduces McBee CFO Galyna Saltkovska, who’s learned that her ex, Steve McBee Sr., has been seeing her good friend Masha behind her back. This season will see Galyna struggle to focus on the company she helped build as her personal life grows more dramatic.
How to Watch
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 2 is coming to Bravo on Monday, June 30 at 9/8c. Watch Season 1 on Peacock.
And in the premiere episode, audiences can hear producers asking the farm’s Fuel Distribution Manager and all-around honorary Farm Mom Tessa about Masha: “Did she replace Galyna?”
“Damn straight,” Tessa replied with a laugh. “This Russian thing’s been knew. This is the second one in a row… I’ll tell you what, the things that my boss gets me into. It feels like I’m always doing his dirty work.”
Cue: A flashback to Season 1, when Tessa was on the front lines of the drama between Steve Sr., his now-ex-girlfriend Brooke, and Galyna. Tessa attempted to play peacemaker between Galyna and Brooke after an incident with Brooke’s car, but the women ended up throwing insults back and forth anyway, calling each other “pathetic.”
“I keep saying, ‘Yes,’ so it’s on me,” Tessa said of how she keeps finding herself playing referee.
Tessa gave audiences a rundown of the drama in the premiere episode: “Masha first met Steve McBee through Galyna… Listen, you got the old gal, you got the new gal. And … I’m telling you, ain’t nothing good can come out of this mess.”
As Galyna later tells Calah Jackson in the episode, when she and Masha met over 10 years ago, Galyna felt they understood each other thanks to their similar backgrounds; they spoke the same language, and “had something in common” because of it.
According to Masha, she and Steve Sr. have been dating for quite a while, and Masha seemed comfortable in Steve Sr.’s cabin, in which he told her to make herself at home.
“The gold digger has moves,” Galyna quipped to Calah in the episode after Calah called Masha a “snake.” (See more in the clip above.)
Galyna’s relationship status in McBee Season 2
As Calah clarified in the premiere episode, Galyna is “single and ready to mingle” with Steve Sr. out of her (romantic) life.
“My romantic [life] is a little bit on hold right now just because I don’t feel that, emotionally, I am quite there yet to commit or to go on dates,” Galyna told The Daily Dish during filming Season 2. “I’m just trying to work on myself, put what happened behind me, and heal before I will start committing or seeing anybody.
“I am obviously planning and hoping to meet somebody in the future, but it’s not gonna be fair to that person the way I am right now,” she added. “So I need just a little pause, focus on the business, focus on my health and fitness. That’s what’s important to me right now.”
Galyna teases a “super positive” Season 2 moment
Thinking on everything that goes down in Season 2, Galyna was, at first, hesitant to give too much away. When asked if she was excited about fans seeing the season’s new developments, she said: “I don’t know if I’m excited to see some of the turn of the events that happened since Season 1. It was, in a way, traumatic for me. And extremely emotional,” she explained. “I’m working through those events, you know? Staying with the boys…

“But there is one extremely positive twist that I am super excited about,” she added, teasing that it’s with one particular member of the McBee series. “[It’s] super positive … really beneficial for my relationship with the boys and the business.”
