Chapter 8 is live and sees Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz get divorced (kinda). While Desi’s still in the Army, Lucille makes ‘Easy to Wed,’ a hit, and ‘Two Smart People’ which, unknown at the time, will be her last at MGM. Then Desi’s out of the Army to find slipping back into life at MGM isn’t as easy as he’d hoped. Lucille finds success freelancing -- including beginning her run with Bob Hope and one back in live theatre -- while Desi finds success back on the road.
