Chasing Life Recap - "Model Behavior" (S01E17)

The episode starts with April being refused service at a coffee kiosk because of her article about Richie Miranda. She realizes that half of Boston hates her because of this story and that Miranda has to go through a drug test. Once she gets to work she finds out that Richie claims she is lying and denies doing drugs. This is all announced on Good Morning America, and April realizes that this situation is about to get ugly.

April goes to visit Beth at work where Beth complains about being the 2nd assistant and only doing things like taking care of her boss' drying cleaning and cleaning her car. She wants to do more for the fashion party that her boss is throwing to showcase her designs. Beth is upset that she is only responsible for the food for the party. 

Brenna and Greer hang out, and Greer gives her an expensive purse and tells her that she still isn't taking her medication. Brenna feels weird about accepting such an expensive (and gorgeous) gift. Meanwhile, April has to meet with Ms. Callahan aka the publisher of the newspaper. She finds out that Aaron has been fired and Ms. Callahan is considering firing her too. April volunteers to go on national television and defend her story. Ms. Callahan agrees to this and April panics. Danny suggests she ask Raquel for help.

At Sara's office, she gets invited to go to a speech at Harvard University by her office mate. It is the MOST awkward encounter ever. It's hard to tell whether or not she's being asked out on a date or what. And her response is equally as awkward which is hilarious in a painful kind of way.

Grandma Emma messes with April about her story and won't talk much about her reunion. Sara wants to know how it was and becomes concerned when Emma claims to forget most of what they did. Beth and April hang out and Beth shares that the designer's 1st assistant was fired so she wants to step up and prove that she can handle the responsibility. She shares that she needs teenage models and April suggests they ask Brenna. With a little convincing, Brenna agrees and says she will ask Greer.


Sara finds out that Emma has a boyfriend and she didn't say anything because she didn't want to seem insensitive. She encourages Sara to live in the moment and see where it takes her.

The designer loves Brenna and Greer, and asks Greer to wear her favorite piece. Beth realizes that she forgot to put a menu together for the event.

April works with Raquel who drills her and tells her what not to do during the interview. April is trying desperately to keep Leo out of it. She heads over to Beth's work event to help her.

Beth's boyfriend Graham comes through and takes care of the food. In her gratitude, she accidentally says that she loves him which he is thrilled about. April checks on Brenna and Greer and realizes Greer gave Brenna the purse and she sees Brenna reject Greer's advances which sends Greer over the edge and she accidentally rips her dress. The designer freaks out and Beth promises to fix it-which she does. April is worried about Greer and Brenna and Brenna tells her that Greer quit taking her medicine which concerns April. Brenna comes back with saying she's not giving up on someone she cares about the second they start having problems.

Beth gets promoted and the event is a success. Greer apologizes and Brenna says that she wants to help her as a friend for now. Greer suggests that she'll start taking her medicine again.

In the morning, April apologizes to Brenna who reminds her that she beat cancer- she can sure as hell beat this interview. April ignores a call from Leo right before the interview and she nails it. She also apologizes to Richie and she encourages him to face his illness head on. Afterwards, she goes tot he bathroom and is horrified when she gets a nosebleed. She finds out from Dom that Miranda just got a DUI so her story is confirmed. She looks up at him when he asks what's wrong and she confesses that she thinks her cancer is coming back and he hugs her.
