After watching Reacher Season 3 Episode 7, viewers have a question on their minds: why did Xavier Quinn cut off Zachary Beck’s ear? Beck’s recent blunder appears to have enraged Quinn. Fed up with his carelessness, Quin utilized his tortured ways to convey a brutal message, reminding Beck yet again of his helplessness.
But what exactly happened that made Quinn take such a cruel action against Beck? Here are the details.
Why Xavier Quinn cut off Zachary Beck’s ear in Reacher Season 3 Episode 7
Quinn cuts off Beck’s ear for not being able to determine two undercover agents under his wing. His actions also serve as a reminder for Beck of how helpless he is and to deepen his suffering. He wants to put a clear message out there that he is still the boss and won’t tolerate any missteps in his mission.
In the previous episode, Quinn lost his temper upon learning that two undercover agents were working under Beck, which the latter wasn’t able to identify. His rage intensified when he also discovered that Reacher had escaped.
Viewers observed in Episode 7 titled “L.A. Story” that Zachary Beck’s ear was missing and it’s obvious that Quinn was behind it. Quinn has consistently demonstrated brutal behavior toward Beck, starting from taking his entire life under his control.
He initially used Beck’s son, Richard, as a scapegoat to completely exploit and utilize him for personal gains. Unable to get out of his clutches, Beck had no option but to surrender everything to protect his son.
Beck recently made a few blunders, which Quinn found out and unleashed his anger on Beck. He chopped off his ear in a similar way to his son Richard, reminding him that he would not tolerate mistakes and doesn’t care about the father-son duo. Through his punishment, he also wanted to make it clear that he wouldn’t hesitate to torture Beck if he messed up again. It seems Quinn’s tortured actions were able to create intense fear in Beck’s mind.
