The Gilded Age Season 3 ending left plenty to unpack about engagements, potential divorces, and what’s next for the city’s most ambitious players. With HBO already confirming season 4, here’s what happened in the Season 3 finale.

Who gets engaged in The Gilded Age Season 3 finale?

In The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, Dr. William Kirkland proposed to Peggy Scott. Despite his mother’s attempts to drive them apart, William followed his heart, choosing Peggy over his family’s disapproval. His father’s support sealed the moment.

Gladys Russell also ended the season in a happy place, though her love story began as an arranged marriage orchestrated by her mother. Now the Duchess of Buckingham, Gladys, is pregnant and thriving in her marriage to Hector.

Elsewhere, Oscar Van Rhijn and Enid Winterton decided to marry—not out of romance, but out of mutual ambition. Oscar gains wealth and influence, while Enid regains her place in society, making them a “fighting pair” in the social battlefield of New York.

Furthermore, Larry Russell and Marian Brook also reconciled after their broken engagement. While they didn’t rush back into wedding plans, their tentative reunion suggests that marriage could still be on the horizon if they can repair their trust issues.

Will George Russell and Bertha get divorced in The Gilded Age Season 4?

The Gilded Age Season 3 finale’s gut-punch moment came the morning after Bertha’s crowning social victory. George, still recovering from his gunshot wound, told her he couldn’t forgive the way she forced Gladys into marriage. Even though their daughter is now happy with the Duke, George’s resentment hasn’t faded. They didn’t say “divorce,” but George’s decision to walk out could be the most serious crack in their marriage yet.

So, for now, with George’s shooter still unidentified, multiple love stories in flux, and high society more cutthroat than ever, season 4 of The Gilded Age promises power plays, heartbreak, and fireworks.
