The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 1, Who Is in Charge Here?, was released on Sunday, June 22, generating fresh tensions among New York's elite. The episode featured George Russell heading a perilous expansion of his railroad empire into Arizona and negotiating tricky deals with native factions.
Meanwhile, in her household at the Russell estate, Bertha Russell was working overtime to preserve her family's position by scheming to arrange her daughter Gladys in a potential union with the visiting Duke of Buckingham. In the van Rhijn camp, Marian stayed on the high wire of responsibility and autonomy, as Ada's unexpected legacy disrupted intra-family dynamics.
With those strings tugged, fans now wait for Episode 2, which premieres Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on HBO, with same-day streaming on Max. Although HBO has not provided an official synopsis, it is to be expected that the next episode will pick up from the unresolved happenings of the pilot—specifically George's westward plans and Bertha's social strategy formation.
Personal and financial stresses are still on the higher end, and Episode 2 is going to push them even higher.

Summary of The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 1
In the premiere, George Russell went out on a limb to extend his railroad fortune by expanding into land in Arizona. The episode involved contentious negotiations with landowners and miners—not union workers. The move hints at potential long-term business and matrimony issues, but no overt labor conflict was presented.
Bertha Russell's focus shifted to Europe, where she welcomed the Duke of Buckingham with the hope of securing a proposal for her daughter Gladys. The meeting demonstrated Bertha's desire to merge American riches with British aristocracy—a tactical maneuver to increase her family's status.
Marian Brook was kept close to Agnes van Rhijn as she started finding her way to gain independence, particularly in love and career. The unforeseen inheritance by Ada Brook introduced financial doubt and foreshadowed future tensions in the family.
What to expect in The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 2?
Although HBO hasn't released a complete synopsis, Episode 2 will continue along the lines of what's been laid out in the pilot. George's Arizona business enterprises may continue losing money, especially as he tests the goodwill of those around him. Bertha's matchmaking business is also destined to shift—i.e., depending on whether the Duke of Buckingham is reciprocating her attention or adding to the drama.
Meanwhile, Marian's passive rebellion may escalate as she continues resisting the limitations imposed by her family and social class. Ada's legacy could further deepen the divide in the van Rhijn family, especially if Agnes is intimidated by what her sister has become.
Episode 2 has had its brief teaser promo released, but it doesn't spoil any major story moments.
