This piece spoils the Season 3 finale of The Gilded Age. Thanks to Dr. William Kirkland (Jordan Donica), Morgan Spector’s railroad magnate George Russell survived an absolute shocker of a gunshot wound after a delivery man showed up at his work to attempt to kill him.

"What's at play there is somebody who's really in an existential crisis," Spector says of George in the season finale.

Aurora Fane and Charlotte Astor both appear at Bertha's end of season ball. This is a huge deal because both of them are likely getting divorced, and Bertha made an exception to Mrs. Astor's own rule. Mrs. Astor, in an even more shocking move, showed up at the ball anyways.
