The Gilded Age Season 3 Ends with Major Engagements, Marital Strains, Pregnancies

The Gilded Age Season 3 finale featured significant developments in the characters' relationships, with Dr. William Kirkland proposing to Peggy Scott in a celebrated moment at a Black ball, and Gladys Russell embracing her arranged marriage to the Duke of Buckingham while expecting a child. Meanwhile, Oscar Van Rhijn and Enid Winterton's marriage was driven by mutual ambition rather than romance, and Larry Russell and Marian Brook tentatively reconciled after a broken engagement. The most dramatic turn involved George and Bertha Russell, whose marriage showed deep fractures as George, recovering from a gunshot wound, expressed resentment toward Bertha for orchestrating their daughter's marriage, leaving their future uncertain. Despite Bertha's social victories and Gladys's happiness, George's decision to walk out suggests possible divorce tensions in Season 4. The show, renewed for a fourth season, promises further intrigue as characters navigate power struggles, heartbreak, and shifting alliances in New York's high society. Cast confirmations hint at Morgan Spector's return as George Russell, despite the character's perilous shooting, ensuring continued exploration of these complex dynamics.
