I would use the "Gale" form, not the "Gale's form" after the colon. In that case it would be a participle and would be very close to a scene/title.

3.They are both participle because they don't follow possessives but Can I make them the possessive form Brian's setting up Ethan and Gale's fucking like beast in the beginning?? as the same as
