Hulu 'Candy' Episode 3: How does Betty find out about Allan and Candy Montgomery's affair?
Episode 3 of Hulu's 'Candy' is in the books and the focus is on the affair between Candace Montgomery (Jessica Biel) and Allan Gore (Pablo Schreiber). The fling though is rather short-lived after Betty Gore (Melanie Lynskey) manages to convince her husband to start attending Marriage Encounter — a therapy of sorts that helps married couples rekindle their lost love for each other. That starts the downfall of the fling between Allan and Candy and things eventually take a turn for the worse as the real-life case suggests.
With two episodes left, the fourth episode will surely see news of the affair come to light. And for those unaware, it was Allan who confesses that he had something going on the side with Candy. Safe to say, Betty doesn't take the news well and that ends on a tragic note for both families.

Hulu's 'Candy' Episode 2: Did Betty Gore suffer from anxiety and loneliness issues before her death?
It doesn't help that Betty was shown to be suffering from anxiety issues. That Candy was a lot more social and popular was already on her mind and the affair meant losing the one person she actually loved. For now, it does feel safe to speculate that Allan confesses about the affair now that he was part of the Marriage Encounter. In the episode, he tells Candy about the affair that Betty had a long time ago and would be compelled to share the same for their relationship to stay happy.
This explains a lot if we rewind to the first episode that sees Allan lose his bearings after his wife stops responding to his calls. We can also assume that Candy had no idea about Allan telling Betty about the affair. We could be wrong, but with the fourth episode less than 24 hours away from its airdate, only time will tell what events panned out.
'Candy' episodes 1-3 are available for streaming on Hulu.
