Everything That Happened in "The Gilded Age" Season 1
9
Agnes van Rijn's son is a charming but complicated figure. He's keeping two major secrets: his fortune isn't nearly what it needs to be to support his chosen lifestyle, and he's gay. To solve both problems, he sets his sights on marrying a very wealthy and very naive young woman, and chooses Gladys Russell. With the secret help of the Russells' vengeful maid Turner, he tries to ingratiate himself, but it doesn't go as planned. At her coming-out ball, he tries to convince Gladys to dance with him, but she seems to finally be wising up that his intentions aren't entirely what they seem.
