The Gilded Age season three finale aired on Sunday (August 10), and we finally learned George’s fate…but a lot more went down after that.
The episode kicked off with George’s life being saved by Dr. Kirkland (Jordan Donica). Throughout the season, George (Morgan Spector) and his wife Bertha (Carrie Coon) had been misfiring and faced marriage woes. George even went as far as to sleep at his club. However, after the near-death experience, it appeared as if he was ready to reunite with his wife. He even attended her end-of-season ball to support her, but it turns out, it was all for optics.
George ends up leaving at the end of the episode and going back to the club, telling her he only attended the ball to keep up appearances for his business dealings, and he has a lot to think about.
It’s clear George and Bertha could be headed for divorce, and the season ended on this big cliffhanger.
Now, Carrie and Morgan are weighing in on the futures of their characters.

“Bertha is pretty relentless. I don’t imagine her giving up on it if that’s what she really wants. Having had that experience where she almost lost him has solidified her belief in their inevitable future together,” Carrie told EW.
Morgan added, “It’s going to be a process, and I would love to see that process play out. There’s a question mark that hangs over them for sure. They could find each other again or they could not, but I would love to see a season where we chart that difficult journey back to each other.”
He added, “When he has this existential moment, it really shakes him. It shakes him about his relationship with himself. That’s what’s at play there — somebody who’s really in an existential crisis. It’s not just his marriage.”
If you didn’t see, it appears as if three stars from The Gilded Age have exited the series ahead of season four.
