The Gilded Age is back! In Season 4, Episode 1, "Ring the Bells," Oscar van Rhijn marries Enid Turner in a pink gown and a flower crown, and the after-party takes Marian Brook somewhere she never expected to go: Webster Hall, followed by a stormy night with Larry Russell that Larian fans have waited three seasons for. The morning after brings its own consequences. Across the pond, Gladys faces a dangerous delivery while Bertha squares off with Hector's family. George Russell is spiraling. Peggy Scott's book finally arrives while her future mother-in-law plans everything else. Jack gets a crash course in high-society manners, and Agnes prepares to host President Cleveland until Armstrong drops a secret. Plus: did you spot David Letterman and Matt Damon?
