Everything That Happened in "The Gilded Age" Season 1

Tom starts out as the sweet, if overly-persistent, lawyer who impulsively decides to follow Marian to New York to court her. As he and Marian grow closer, he also proves adept at charming his way up the social ladder. Eventually, he convinces Marian to marry him and to elope to avoid the censure of her disapproving aunts. When Marian shows up to run away together, however, he reveals that he has instead chosen to marry a wealthy heiress.
