Season 1, Episode 13: “Fifty Cents a Dance”
Lillie returns to America, accompanied by young army officer Captain d'Albani. Although still betrothed to Hugo, Lillie keeps company with the Captain until he's called to war in 1914. The outbreak of fighting sees Louis lose his coveted Admiralty, but leads him to a relationship with his illegitimate daughter, Jeanne Marie. No longer the toast of America, Lillie finds herself seeking amusement in New York by paying her dashing young partners fifty cents a dance. With the war over, Lillie moves to the South of France, where she's surrounded by photos and memories of an illustrious past. As her time draws near, the only regret of her successful life is the love of a family.
