‘Chasing Life’ season 2, episode 8 preview: How does April move on after Leo shocker?

Monday night, “Chasing Life” aired an episode that was a little bit more than the standard “honeymoon” episode that follows most shows after a wedding. It actually brought in some of the most devastating storytelling we’ve seen in some time thanks to the closing minutes. Is Leo really gone? That is a question that next week’s “The Ghost in You” will definitely answer. This synopsis below was released weeks before tonight’s episode aired, so we would not put too much stock into it:

“Not wanting to deal with the aftermath of the shocking loss, April wants to shut out the world and everyone in it. But only Leo can get her out of bed and out of her funk with a surprise he concocted for someone as special as she is.

“Meanwhile, Brenna gets good advice from Finn.”

While we thought that maybe the show would find a way to revive Leo in the next episode (at least for a few seconds tonight), the promo below seems to confirm that he is in fact gone. However, he does seem to have left something behind for his wife in order for her to move forward. We’re not sure what exactly can help her in a time like this, but she will have to continue to keep fighting. This just has to be one of the most terrible two seasons that any TV character has had. She’s fought cancer, and now lost a husband not long after a wedding, right when he was starting to want to plan out a future. Tear-jerking stuff.
