At the end of Episode 7 of The Gilded Age, George Russell ( Morgan Spector) was shot by gunman posing as a messenger. In his office, the man knocked on the door and said he had a delivery for the robber baron before firing off multiple shots into the room, one of which seemed to have hit George.

The Gilded Age subtly explained George Russell's quick recovery in the season 3 finale through clever time jumps and hints throughout the episode.

“The Gilded Age” Season 3 ended with another viewership win for HBO and HBO Max. Sunday’s episode of the HBO drama series posted another series high for the fifth consecutive week, gathering 5 million viewers across platforms in its first 3 days of availability, according to internal data from Warner Bros. Discovery.
