Because someone asked the question…
The timeline of Lance's evolution!
Season 1 Episode 2: Lance and Kitty's relationship gets off to a rocky start, but it's not a "toxic" relationship because she's not under his control (the show's creators did a great job of portraying how she escapes him, both literally and figuratively, thanks to his abilities but also his character and the support of his family).
Season 1 Episodes 3-9: Lance rises from petty criminal to the rank of deputy leader of the Brotherhood, under Mystique. He has a serious rival, Scott, and their rivalry forces them both to grow, as seen, for example, in "Survival of the Fittest."
Season 2 Episode 1: Mystique disappears, and Lance gets a quick promotion. He makes some unfortunate decisions right from the start, with his little speech in front of the cameras, and it's likely Magneto gave him a slap in the face. This episode will be remembered for the moment when he acts as a human shield to save Kitty. She will no doubt forgive him for his mistakes because their relationship will continue afterward.
Season 2 Episode 9: Lancelot misses Lady Catherine (and I suppose he's a little tired of being the leader of a team that consistently loses). He is about to join the X-Men and probably would have stayed if Scott hadn't pushed him to the limit. But his relationship with Kitty doesn't suffer, since they go to the ball together in Season 2 Episode 13.
Season 3 Episode 3: Magneto disappears and Mystique is locked up in Area 51. As a result, Lance finds himself on his own with Todd, Fred, and Wanda. This is where we realize that he's still just a kid going from one manipulator to another. This time, it's Edward Kelly who uses him to kick the X-Men out of HIS high school. With the future politician's mind well up in his chest, Lance attacks the X-Men and abandons the idea of continuing his relationship with Kitty, because "I'll never be good enough for you." This episode marks a break in their relationship.
Season 3 Episode 4: Edward Kelly gets what he wants and gets rid of Lance, whom he no longer needs. But then "King" Magneto reappears and installs his "crown prince," Pietro, as head of the Brotherhood.
Season 3 Episode 7: The knight Lancelot is fed up with the whims of Crown Prince Pietro (who is probably a little younger than him, given that he spent his entire schooling with Prince Evan of Kenya, whom Lady Catherine describes as the youngest student at the Institute in Season 1 Episode 11) and is about to give him a memorable beating when the rebel princess who took up arms against her father: Gwendolyne the Red.
Season 4 Episode 2: Lance finds himself in a worse situation than at the beginning of Season 3: Magneto and Mystique haven't just disappeared: they're dead! Astral dust for the former and small stones for the latter. Who's going to pay the bills? Hmm? Luckily, following an act of altruism (the knight Lancelot can't decently let a crippled woman die underground, even when his own life is threatened) and many misunderstandings (thanks, media!), the Brotherhood hits the jackpot: a free renovation of the house and enough to pay the bills for a while. To keep the money flowing, Pietro goes the extra mile (against Lance's wishes, by the way) but runs away when he has to face the consequences of his actions. It's Lance who ultimately comes to help the X-Men. A gesture that goes straight to Kitty's heart.
Season 4 Episode 9: Kitty comes to ask Lancelot for help in the final battle. He refuses, but then changes his mind and comes to help anyway. He breaks out in a cold sweat when he sees Kitty unconscious on the ground and leaves with her at the end of the battle, and we see her, on his arm, in the final scene.

X-Men Evolution: Episode X – Peace on Earth to People of Good Will (Part 1)
On December 21st, the winter solstice, Sebastian Shaw usually celebrated the longest night of the year in complete privacy. It was his time, the hour of darkness when he could hide his crimes from all eyes, maintaining the appearance of a wealthy philanthropist in the eyes of society. After all, it's far more important to have the approval of your concierge than your conscience. Especially when you murdered your conscience long ago.
In 2004, he had chosen William Stryker as his guest. He only ever invited one person for the night of the winter solstice. Last year, it was Emma Frost, but her conversation had less appeal than her face, and the beauty of perfection quickly tires, unlike the resources of the mind.
And so it was that, a little before midnight, in one of those modern palaces known as skyscrapers, Sebastian Shaw was waiting for his guest in a large, dimly lit living room, listening to the ticking of the clock on the console table. Then, a little before midnight, the two doors opened, and two liveried footmen appeared, lit candelabras in hand. From the end of the corridor, emerging from the darkness, William Stryker entered. He had a keen eye and a serious step. His gaze enveloped the billionaire perched on his velvet throne, who regarded him with a smile.
"I expected you earlier, Stryker. Were you detained?"
"By the Under Secretary of State, I'm afraid. He wanted my opinion on Project Sentinel, you see…"
Sebastian Shaw's face lit up with a thin smile stretching his eager lips. Everyone had associated Bolivar Trask's name with the Sentinel Project, unaware that the giant robots had been manufactured by Shaw's factories. Shaw had pocketed a tidy sum when S.H.I.E.L.D. purchased a dozen of these robots to fight the mutant Apocalypse, but if the government signed a long-term contract to be supplied with electronic golems, Sebastian Shaw's hegemony over the military-industrial complex would be assured for a good decade. Ah, wealth and the power it brings! They were the only cures on earth for the despair that had gnawed at the billionaire's heart since his youth.
"And what did you think of the secretary, Stryker?" Shaw asked, rising from his chair.
Stryker joined him around the table covered with food and pulled out a chair for his guest.
"I found him quite hollow." The perfect bureaucratic puppet of democratic governments, who, when a problem arises, begin by forming a "State Commission," with the sole objective of appointing a "subcommittee," which, months later, will produce a "Report," which the minister concerned will quickly read, only to ultimately fail to take any responsible action if the conclusions of said report prove even remotely likely to disrupt his re-election.
Shaw filled two champagne flutes and handed one to his guest.
« Alors, Monsieur Stryker, comme disait Balzac : « Buvons à l'imbécillité du pouvoir qui nous donne tant de pouvoir sur les imbéciles. »
