    Post Season 3

    With the Newport season fading, Bertha Russel finds herself drawn deeper into her daughter’s happiness and Marian Brook’s quiet sorrows. Between gossip, shifting alliances, and her own restless heart, Bertha must decide what battles are worth fighting and which are best left behind. Despite the accusation of having a ruthless heart, Bertha finds that her heart still has room, and that family isn’t always the ones that we are tied to by blood. But sometimes they are the people who don’t give up on each other.

    Summary

    The thing about being an incredibly rich and powerful businessman, such as George Russell was, was that people were very hesitant to tell you when you were embarking on something that was a bad idea. [...] Unluckily, sometimes you were having such a deeply-entrenched argument with that person, so you weren't very likely to listen to them, or anybody else who cared to share an opinion on the situation. Sometimes you were so furious every time you even so much as thought about that person that you had cared for that the only thing you wanted to do was win and be done with the whole blasted situation.

    Anyway, all that was to say, George Russell was getting divorced.
