April finds out at the hospital that her cancer has not returned and that she is fine. Her mom, Brenna, Grandma Emma, and even Dom are there to support her- just in case. It was really sweet. April is of course (and understandably) freaking out though.
When Brenna comes home she finds Natalie doing her laundry. They talk and Natalie has her try on one of her shirts. Sara comes home an doesn't like what Brenna has on, but she tries to refrain. she asks Brenna to help her get the house ready for the college prep seminar she is hosting that night. At the seminar, Sara becomes concerned when she realizes how far behind Brenna is on the road to getting into a good college. She's shocked that even Ford has a 4.0 GPA and does volunteer work.
April shares her recent scare at her support group and they're all invited to one of the members, Shauna, to her belated bat mitzvah. Leo and April talked and he apologized for his behavior and admits he doesn't know what's going on with him.
During a dinner date with Beth and Graham, he brings up that her doctor said she is 99% sure that April is fine, not 100% sure- way to be a jerk Graham (although he makes up for it later). Now April is really freaking out. She has a sleepless night and calls Dr. H. at 8 AM asking about a bruise on her arm and pretending that she's fine. Her doctor suggests that she try anti-anxiety meds, medical pot, religion, or anything to help focus and help her anxiety.
At the bat mitzvah, April and Meg (a sweet girl from her support group) talk about maybe believeing in God and April talks with the rabbi as she is now considering being religious. Shauna gives her a pot cookie and tells her she needs to calm down, but she understands what she is going through. Later while April is listening to Beth talk about work, April gets an email from Meg saying she got her blood work back and her cancer has returned. This really shakes April. She had just been with Meg who seemed fine and now out of the blue she could lose her life. Beth tells April they're going to Dom's book signing and they're going to find out who is mystery girl is and take her mind off of things. When Beth steps away, April takes a bite of the cookie.
Sara catches Natalie and Brenna leaving and says she is going out to dinner with them. The three of them, plus Emma, go out to dinner and it's a little tense. It happens to be trivia night in the restaurant and Sara is getting more and more concerned about Brenna. She makes a remark about girls pretending to be stupid when Natalie makes fun of the trivia night and makes a joke about one of the questions.
April and Beth see Dominic and hide in the aisle as April confesses about the cookie. Beth tells her that she has to eat more so April has a few more bites. Graham arrives and Beth gets a call from her boss causing her to leave. April meets Dom's mother who was recently released from prison (April is the only one who knows she was in prison so Dom asks her not to mention anything). He leaves the two of them alone to sign more books as April's high comes on. She eats a bunch of snacks as they talk and bond and April shares her and Dom's checkered past. His mom gives her a Buddhist book that helped her keep her peace of mind in prison. Dom takes April to his place as her high is crashing and he forgives her for sleeping with Leo before she falls asleep.
Natalie comes over to talk to Sara and calls her out for her bitchiness towards Natalie. She tells Sara that she's not her mom and she stayed in Boston to get to know her sisters and learn more about her dad. She reminds her that Brenna isn't Sara either and Sara apologizes to Natalie.
In the morning, she reads a little bit of the book before heading to her group. She hugs Meg and asks how she is doing, and Meg asks the same of April who then informs her that the train Leo was taking to New York that morning crashed and people are dead and they can't get a hold of him. April panics and tries to call him multiple times as she runs home. She runs inside yelling for her mom or someone and sees Leo and her mom talking in the kitchen. She loses it and so did I.
Leo opens up to her about how he feels guilty for living and cheating death time and time again when good people are dying. April is grateful that he opened up to her and promised to support him. They make up.
Sara apologizes to Brenna who informs her that she wants to take a year off after high school and travel. Sara tries to be supportive. Graham asks Beth to move in with him and Dominic sees Natalie in the bookstore and goes in to talk to her.
