While Raven and Penelope are trying to fix things between them, Lance's marriage to Rachel finally ends. After being married to the Durham heiress for over five years, Lance felt free for the first time. He had spent too long in a loveless marriage, and now that it was over, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
He no longer had to pretend that their love was real or that Rachel cared about him. The divorce had been a long time coming, and now that it was finalized, Lance could finally breathe easy. Rachel had been breathing down his neck, making demands, and treating him like a puppet on a string. Lance knew he was better off without her despite the financial implications of the divorce.
