A brief recap of The Gilded Age season 3 episode 4

In The Gilded Age season 3 episode 4, it was the big wedding Bertha Russell had dreamed of for her daughter. Despite much protest, and refusing to leave her room and barely eating ahead of the wedding, Gladys decided to go through with it and marry the Duke of Buckingham.

Larry and Jack also sold their clock patent in episode 4, making each of them $300,000 richer. However, Jack didn't want to disclose how much money he got because he wanted to stay at the Van Rhijn household and continue working there.

Meanwhile, Ada's session with the seance to talk to her dead husband was interrupted by her sister. However, she doesn't appear to be giving up the chance to talk to Luke. In Newport, Peggy gets together with Mrs. Kirkland again, and everything is civil until Mrs. Kirkland insults her father and his humble background again.

What to expect in The Gilded Age season 3 episode 5

With the first half of the series done, HBO released a mid-season trailer for the series ahead of the episode 5 release. While it's unclear which parts of the trailer will play out in the next episode, it does give an idea of what's coming for The Gilded Age season 3 cast.

Following the events of the previous episode, Gladys is set to arrive in the Duke of Buckingham's world. However, as teased in the trailer, it's not the freedom she's looking for because she might have exchanged Bertha's controlling attitude for the hectic and controlled life of being the new Duchess. Plus, the Duke's sister is going to be a huge part of her marriage to the Duke.

Meanwhile, Jack's secret, aka his newly acquired wealth, could be on the brink of being found out. There's also tension brewing between Bertha and George.
