During the episode, a character named Amy (Bo Bragason) took her new friend Caitlin (Laura Marcus) to her home.
While there, Amy revealed her family is close to bankruptcy and will soon shoot their horse Kingpin to claim the insurance money.
A further scene revealed Amy’s twisted sense of humour as she leaned down to pleasure the horse with her hand for a few seconds before exiting the barn.
Viewers soon took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their revulsion to the sickening moment.
One wrote: “That scene with the horse was just gross #TheJetty.”
Another agreed, as they penned: “#TheJetty bloody hell. Was there any need for that horse scene. Turned my stomach.
“I’m ready for turning off. No likeable characters.”
A third chimed in: “#thejetty is weird, but I’m worried about that poor lonely horse, tied up in a dump and being sexually abused.”
While a fourth remarked: “That horse scene I have no words what just happened #TheJetty.”
In the wake of Happy Valley ending last year, The Jetty is the Beeb’s latest crime drama attempting to fill the void.
The plot follows Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman), as she is forced to reevaluate her life following an arson attack at a boat house which sets off a series of events that bring up the past.
Since debuting, the programme has been met with mixed reviews, with some enjoying the slow burn nature.
Others have been less impressed with the pace between present day and the past.
The BBC is reopening case files on an all-star line-up of crime dramas this summer.
Here’s a refresher on the popular programmes which span six decades.
The cast also includes Archie Renaux, Ruby Stokes, Tom Glynn-Carney, Amelia Bullmore and Ralph Ineson.
Meanwhile, Cat Jones created and wrote The Jetty, while also serving as an executive producer alongside Jenna Coleman, among others.
Filming took place in West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester between September to December of last year.
The Jetty airs on BBC One and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
