Biography
He and Julia have been together before the events of Season 1 started. They have a common child named Jacob. But Julia left him after she found out that he cheated on her with another woman.

Season 1
One night Lance is called by Julia who drank and dialed and they hook up, which results in an affair that is kept secret in order to protect the children if it won't work out.

Lance knows of the money problem of the Bernhardt family and offers his help to Audrey by telling her about a real estate project of one of his friends, Victoria. This would be the perfect opportunity do an investment with the promise to get twice the money back.

Every time when he gives Audrey her money plus her profit back, he raises the amount of money she has to invest if she still wants to do so. Eventually Audrey invests all of the money from the allocated bails of the bail bonds office. Because of unfortunate events Audrey needs the money back sooner but Lance tells her, he gave it to Victoria and if she wants to get it back she has to go and ask Victoria.

Because making contact with Victoria isn't as easy as expected, Audrey asks Marius alias "Pete" for help to get her money back. "Pete" as a trickster himself recognizes the fraud Audrey fell victim to which means Lance is also a trickster. Together Audrey and "Pete" expose that Victoria does not and has never existed because she is only made up by Lance himself who uses "her" as a part of his fraud. "Pete" persuades Audrey to keep this discovery a secret and to start a secret revenge-fraud to come back at Lance.

Eventually Julia suspects that something is going on, so they tell her about Lance being a trickster and defrauding her grandmother. This results in Julia wanting to break up with him once more but they convince her to pretend that nothing has changed in front of all the others, so she is faking the relationship with Lance as from now.

All in all Lance has no clue what's going on behind his back and is still thinking he will get through with it.

In fact, Lance falls for the fraud "Pete" and some of his old trickster friends had set. After Lance finally realizes that he has been defeated, Julia finishes him off by revealing her recently faked relationship with him and finally dumps him.
