okay but will ada make marian her heiress since she doesn’t have kids of her own? because that would probably eliminate one reason bertha might have against larry and marian getting together

One thing I LOVE about The gilded age? The characters repeat clothes. It's so common that in period pieces you see characters wearing different dresses every day, but that just wouldn't be possible in real life. Love that for them, it gives a dash of realism to the show.

Ada really got wooed, wedded, bedded, and widowed in the span of like two months.

Marian, listen to Aunt Ada and ruuuuuuuun. Larry Russell will be waiting for you on the other side of the street.

I really appreciate how Marian's rebellion is so...small. She's not going anywhere dangerous, or teaching people Agnes hates. She teaches watercolours one afternoon a week to girls of her own class, and Agnes still loses her shit, and Marian knew she would.
(Also, I wonder how much sympathy re Raikes she got vs 'I told you so'. Agnes's desire to control means every sin is heinous)
