Larry is sinister with Bertha for Riding gladys to this. However then we discover out that gladys is exact staying at billy’s home (in a Loyal Method, you pervs). Gladys!

George and JP Talk About George’s Mighty Railroad Belief, which JP Calls a Feat to rival the Purple Sea. IT’S A HUGE RISK WITH A Potentially Houge Reward, and JP Will Give a boost to it, nonetheless if George Fails, He’s on His Bear. COULD THIS BE Foreshadowing?! I’m Serious about the Mighty Railroad Belief. If this had been the musical model of The Gilded AgeGeorge Could well perhaps well rob this second to insist “By no map Enough” from The Greatest Showman.

Bertha and Gladys Arrive Home Submit -Gladys Fleeing to Billy’s, and George Kisses Bertha on the Cheek. On the cheek? Attain you’ve got any thought what 2025 is dealing with on the Daily?
