Chasing Life Recap - "Life, Actually" (S01E19)

This episode focuses on the 5 couples in the show-

April/Leo:

April invites him to a dinner with Beth and Graham so they can all get to know each other better and he reluctantly agrees. She gets ready to go to the support group's yoga night, and Leo says he isn't coming. He decides to distance himself from cancer and the group. April tries to be understanding and goes alone, stopping to get tea at Natalie's work. While at the support group her young friend Julian tells her that he's putting on a fundraising event for people with cancer in the "private parts" and April offers to volunteer. He's grateful and asks if she thinks Leo would host. She isn't sure but offers to ask and he is grateful for that as well, revealing that he kind of looks up to Leo. Leo is grilled by Beth at dinner and when April asks him to be the host at the fundraiser he politely declines which disappoints April. Later in the night, Leo takes April back to her home and Julian knocks on the door to pick up flyers. While April gets them, Leo tells Julian he can't be the host. Julian is disappointed and tells Leo that he should do it for April because she's special and that people look up to him and even if they only do because of cancer- that is still cooler than not at all. At the fundraiser, Beth and April talk about compromising with their boyfriends and Beth says she approves of Leo. They hear Leo on the stage and he gives a speech where he says he loves April. He comes off of the stage and kisses her. April tells him she loves him too.

Brenna/Greer:

Greer comes over in the middle of the night after having a huge fight with her mom. She begs Brenna to let her crash there for the night. Brenna agrees and they talk in her bed and in an intimate moment, Brenna kisses Greer. The next day Sara finds out Greer is there, and the girls beg her to let Greer stay because she can't go home. Sara agrees after saying she is going to call her parents and let them know where Greer is. Brenna and Greer sleep together and the following day Greer's parents come to get her. She refuses to leave with them and tells them she's staying with the Carvers until they can learn to respect her.

Beth/Graham:

They have a lot of conflict while looking for an apartment. Graham finally finds one but Beth freaks out when she finds out the lease is for 2 years. She was thinking more along the lines of 6 months. Graham fdins the perfect places that meets all of their needs- including Beth's need for a short term lease, and she still can't commit to it. She runs away and after talking with April, she feels better. She knows she has some commitment issues and she's feeling tied down, but she wants to live with Graham. She tells him at the fundraiser and he says they need to break up. She is devastated.

Natalie/Dominic:

Dominic shows up at her work where he is interviewing someone for one of his articles. They talk and she shares personal things with him about music and about being a love child. April shows up to get tea and the two of them feel like they're doing something wrong. They decide that there is nothing wrong with them being friends. Dominic finds a record that she had mentioned and he invites her over to the office so she can pick it up. There he tries to kiss her but she pulls back and says they can only be friends. At the benefit, she changes her mind after hearing Leo's speech to April and Dom and Natalie end up sleeping together.

Sara/bearded lawyer:

They agree to take things easy until Sara meets his wife in the lobby. Needless to say she is furious. He shares the details of his "open" marriage with Sara who immediately rejects him and tells him they can't do anything together.
