Hit PLAY on the teaser trailer above for your first look at "The Gilded Age" Season 4, then read on for a recap of what happened in Season 3 that led us to this point.

It's been more than a year since "The Gilded Age" wrapped its third season, so we wouldn't blame you for needing a refresh. In fact, we're happy to give you one.

Let's start with the bad news: George and Bertha Russell are officially on the outs. Fresh off his near-fatal shooting, George decided that he was done letting his wife us their children as pawns in her never-ending societal game of chess, and he left Bertha indefinitely. "Because we know how good this couple can be together, it would be really fascinating to see them spend a season figuring out how to get back to each other," Morgan Spector told TVLine, with Carrie Coon promising us that Bertha is "not going to give up."

In happier news, William and Peggy became engaged after one of the smoothest TV proposals in recent memory. It all went down on the ballroom floor, a major event that was shot over the course of three very long days, Denée Benton recalled to TVLine. "When [director Salli Richardson-Whitfield] showed me the playback on set, when Peggy turns around in slow motion, I just burst into tears," she said.

Congratulations are also in order to Gladys, who's expecting her first child with the Duke of Buckingham, whom she married earlier in the season. "It'll be interesting to see how she is as a mother of the next generation in the 1880s, whether she'll push for freedom or push for inherited karma," Taissa Farmiga told TVLine at the time. "You never know!"

Meanwhile, peace has finally been restored in the van Rhijn residence. Agnes was asked to be the vice president of the New York Heritage Society, which was enough of a feather in her cap to finally accept Ada as the head of their household. Christine Baranski told TVLine that she thought the long-awaited admission, which included Agnes formally giving Ada the head seat at the dinner table, was a "well-earned" moment between them.

Also of note: Marian and Larry made up and their engagement is back on, Oscar propositioned Enid about a mutually beneficial marriage of their own, Jack wined and dined Bridget, and Mrs. Astor publicly accepted her daughter back into her life — divorce be darned!
