At the end of the last episode, Lucy filed for divorce from Desi, citing mental cruelty. However, despite the divorce being granted, Lucy and Desi continued to stay married, with the promise that they would be better spouses to one another. But did they keep their promises?

In Part 2, hear about all the highs and lows Lucy and Desi's rollercoaster of a marriage underwent. Together, they faced not just the lows of long distance and infidelity, but also the highs of parenthood, and the creation of their immensely popular show, I Love Lucy. 

Desi always said that "I Love Lucy was never just a title." But was love enough to keep their marriage afloat? 

P.S. We are going on a hiatus following this episode until fall 2026. We will miss you - have a great summer!
