Who else did candy have an affair with?

Although it was all about an adulterous relationship, viewers were given even more disturbing information about Montgomery’s adultery in the concluding moments of the five-part series. And given what we know now, it should come as no surprise that the Texan housewife’s story doesn’t finish with her living happily ever after with her ex-husband Pat.

WHO WAS CANDY MONTGOMERY’S LOVE PARTNER?

Betty Gore, portrayed by Melanie Lynskey in the Hulu series, was brutally murdered in 1980 by her close friend Candy Montgomery, played by Jessica Biel, as a result of Montgomery’s liaison with Betty’s husband Allan Gore. 

Candy Montgomery and Allan Gore began an adulterous relationship in 1978 after becoming friends at church events and neighborhood volleyball matches. They met each other once a week at a nearby motel and divided the expense. Until Betty gave birth to their second daughter in late 1979, when Allan called it quits, the couple remained together.

On June 13, 1980, when Betty Gore confronted Montgomery about the relationship, the conversation grew violent and Candy ultimately attacked Betty with a three-foot-long axe, slashing her 41 times.

The man in issue is probably the spouse of Candy’s friend and business partner Sherry Cleckler, despite Candy’s reticence to give his name (Jessie Mueller).

When the “not guilty” verdict is announced, Sherry, who has been visibly upset throughout Candy’s admission, quickly leaves the courtroom. When Montgomery later asks where Sherry is, her husband Pat, who is furious to learn about yet another extramarital affair with his wife, responds that Sherry is probably trying to keep her husband away from Candy.

WHY DO MARRIAGE ENCOUNTERS OCCUR?

Allan Gore and Betty Gore participate in a program called Marriage Encounter to rekindle their romance, and it is mentioned throughout the series.

Marriage Encounter is a weekend retreat for couples who desire to transform their marriage from good to outstanding. According to the Marriage Encounter website(opens in new tab), the event helps you listen, share, and connect more intimately. There is no group discussion. All that matters is that you two work on becoming the most loving, successful, and excellent partnership you possibly can.

The program, which is presented from a Christian viewpoint and is offered from Friday evenings through Sunday afternoons, has “interesting presentations and exciting debates” about family, money, sex, religion, and more.

According to Buzzfeed News, Allan Gore claimed that his marriage to Betty improved after they attended the Marriage Encounter weekends (opens in new tab). The sessions, according to Texas Monthly(opens in new tab), helped him quit his relationship with Candy in 1979. Candy and Pat soon after went to a Marriage Encounter session, according to the source: Though they enjoyed it, they did not have the type of life-changing experience that Betty and Allan had.
