Love and Death Episode 7 Preview
Love and Death Plot
Centred around the true story of a Texan housewife, Candy Montgomery, the show takes us through different chapters of her life in Wylie, Texas, before the infamous tragedy ultimately struck. Being one of the core members of her community’s Methodist church, she’s unsatisfied with how stifling her situation is, and so to seek a “reckless” way out of this paradigm, she steps into an extramarital affair with Allan Gore, a fellow of the church. While having begun on this route, Candy has no plans of hurting anyone in the process, it eventually leads her to the point when she brutally murders her friend (Allan’s wife), Betty Gore in 1980.

Love and Death Episode 7 Prediction
The upcoming episode titled ‘Sssshh’ will also mark the Love and Death finale. So it’s likely to head into uncharted territory, i.e. Betty and Candy’s scuffle, which finally led to the former’s death ultimately. Since the case is based on a real-life story, we already know that Candice Montgomery was eventually acquitted on all counts, following the court proceedings. The last episode of the season will focus on how Candy will attain that favourable end with her lawyer, Don Crowder’s help. However, as expected, things can’t go back to their pre-established normalcy, leaving Candy’s family with the only possibility of starting anew.
Love and Death Episode 6 Recap
‘The Big Top’ episode commences the court hearings for Betty Gore’s murder case. In a new twist, Don Crowder, i.e. Candy’s lawyer, comes clean to the court about his client’s role in the murder and presents it as a case of self-defence. Candy experiences a fallout with some of her friends and acquaintances, and those who still side with her face estrangement. Crowder keeps inciting his client, demanding some kind of emotional response from her in order to humanise her side of the story for the jury.
