The Gilded Age: What Happened in Season 1? Finale Recap
Everything That Happened in "The Gilded Age" Season 1
7
The Russells' son starts out the season mostly in the background of his family's life. He supports his sister Gladys as she tries to gain some independence from their parents, and he casually befriends Marian. In time, he finally gets up the courage to reveal the truth to his father. He has no interest in taking over the family industrial business, but instead wants the chance to forge his own path as an architect.
In the season finale, Larry serves as a confidant to Marian, agreeing to deliver letters to her aunts when necessary and listening to her in the aftermath of her broken engagement. Is it friendship, or is that a spark of something more between them? Only season two will tell.
