This is the first half of Part 6 of The Gilded Age: Jersey Shore, 1892. Due to the episode's length, I have divided this part into two episodes: one focusing on fiction and the other on history.
In this episode, the trio arrives in Asbury Park, where a significant plot twist and genre realignment occur. I like the direction this episode has taken, and I plan to explore it further.
Edgar, Caesar, and Reginald van Driesen encounter a famous person who can help Reginald, and whom Reginald may also assist. The boys experience the boardwalk and all of its sights, smells, and tastes.
In this episode, we see foreshadowing of Asbury Park's future, "death," and rebirth.
