LONDON, ENGLAND: In Episode 7 of 'Sexy Beast', the spotlight shifts onto the crumbling relationship between Gal Dove (James McArdle) and Marjorie Kern (Eliza Bennett), as it hits rock bottom following Marjorie's discovery of Gal's affair.

The previous episode concluded with Gal's ill-fated attempt at intimacy with Deedee Harrison (Sarah Greene). His attempts were abruptly interrupted by her boyfriend Alan Graves's (Lex Shrapnel) unexpected arrival.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, Ann Marie (Clea Martin) betrays her brother by revealing his infidelity to Marjorie during their bachelorette party. Tensions escalate as the couple confronts the harsh truth of their situation.

After getting beaten up by Alan, Gal comes home to his furious fiancée, Marjorie. She confronts him, asking about his affair with Deedee.

However, he skillfully manipulates her by shifting the blame to Ann Marie. He suggests that Ann is trying to get back at him because she believes that he is somehow involved in Larry's (Kyle Rowe) death. Ultimately, Marjorie buys into his deceit.

Heartbroken, she musters the courage to confront Deedee about her feelings for Gal, but her silence and lack of denial crush Marjorie even further.

Later, we witness Marjorie donning provocative attire - a short, tight dress complemented by bold red lipstick - as she heads out for drinks. She dances with another man, seeking solace in a meaningless rebound.

Upon witnessing her reckless behavior, Ann informs Gal, asking him to intervene at the bar and attempt to escort her home.

However, Marjorie resists his advances and yells at him for cheating on her. As he tries to forcibly take her home, she lashes out and injures him with the sharp edge of her heel, leaving him wounded in the stomach.

With Episode 7 of 'Sexy Beast', the long-term love of Gal and Marjorie comes to an end. As Deedee also ends her relationship with Alan, it paves the way for the love story between Gal and Deedee in the upcoming episodes.

Seven episodes of 'Sexy Beast' are available to stream on Paramount+.
