Chasing Life Recap - "One Day" (S01E21)

April's cancer is back.

Of course that isn't much of a shock, but it was still pretty devastating. April recieved the news from Dr. H. who told of her she has to start chemo the following morning. April protests saying she needs more time to let work know and Dr. H. tells her that her cancer is a lot more aggressive than last time so has to start chemo ASAP or she only has 2-6 weeks to live. (Cue the tears) April needs a bone marrow transplant (thank God for Natalie) after chemo. April is upset about this but she holds herself together pretty well. She just calmly and sadly takes it in. She calls Leo immediately and heads home. 

April shares the news with Brenna and Emma who are both upset. April insists it will be fine and asks for their help in getting ready for tomorrow. Brenna offers to miss school and her appointment with Dr. H. so she can help April with whatever she needs, but April wants her to live as normally as possible. 

She calls her mom to let her know what is going on and interrupts Sara's reunion with George. He was just introducing her to his female colleague (whom Sara had seen him kissing the night before but was pretending she's seen nothing). Sara is obviously worried and so is George who takes her to the airport. He pulls her to the front of the line and informs the woman who is there and complaining about them cutting that Sara's daughter is starting chemo tomorrow and she needs to get to Boston. The woman graciously steps aside and the attendant regretfully tells Sara and George that he doesn't have any flights to Boston that day but through a connecting flight she can be there by midnight. She agrees and George says to make it 2 tickets. Yup George is coming home!

April tells Beth the news and they try to make it like its no big deal. April feels bad about Bernuda and Beth doesn't care one bit. April shares that she's afraid she won't have a wedding of her own and she fed bad that she'll miss the trip, Brenna'a 17th birthday, and Thanksgiving while in the hospital. Beth tells her not to worry about it. 

April heads to work to tell Raquel about the chemo but before she can get into her office, Paul angrily busts out yelling about how they laid him off. April finds out its 'Black Tuesday' and a guy brought in by HR is screening all of the employees along with Raquel and laying off the ones who aren't absolutely necessary. Dom makes it through safely and when April goes in for her turn she's scared. She tells them that she won't be able to come back in tomorrow to find out their answer because she will be in the hospital for chemo. She tells Raquel that her cancer is back and she has to take another medical leave for treatment but she assures both of them that she loves her job and she wants to keep it. She leaves and heads to see Beth. 

We meet a new guy, Finn I think, who is 16/17 and clearly has cancer. He and his family are meeting with his doctor who tells him that they have found a donor who looks like they'd be a match for him. Everyone is excited and his little brothers are fighting in the back. His parents are clearly very stressed and he is embarrassed. The doctor says the donor still has to undergo more testing and Finn has to get ready with more chemo. When they find out how much the transplant will cost, his parents look very concerned but they're obviously not going to say no. 

Brenna goes to her appointment with Natalie and Dr. H. and she is asked if she has had any surgeries or procedures in the last 2 years. Brenna looks nervous as she quietly admits that she has an abortion 2 years ago. Natalie smiles reassuringly and promises no judgement is coming from her and Dr. H. assures her that doesn't count so she is so far so good. 

George and Sara wait in between flights and talk. George says that he missed the girls and everybody really. He asks Sara if she's in a relationship and she laughs and shares that she sort of was but then she found out he was married. George playfully remind she's that the man she dated from the Internet was married to. Sara asks George if he is seeing anyone and she assures him that he can tell her if he is. She then asks if he is seeing the colleague and he admits that he is. He laments that they broke up to find easier relationships and they both ended up in complicated ones. 

We go back to Finn who is getting chemo or sown sort of treatment. He and the make nurse talk and he comments on a video of Finn running a race, not realizing it was Finn. Finn shares that he wants to get back to that and he has a donor now. 

April joins Beth on a boat as they pretend they're in Bermuda. They snack and talk and April shares how nervous she is about losing her job. They get kicked off the boat by a security guard. Afterwards, April meets up with Brenna so they can celebrate her 17th birthday together over a cupcake. Brenna shares that she never told April this but her being away in the hospital was really hard on her last time and she used to cry and feel like an only child and she hated it. She wants April to be ok and April promises her that she's "not Lois Lane, she's Super Girl." The girls get a call from their mom and they're excited that George is coming back. Sara and April talk and George is impressed at how Sara is handling everything. 

April goes to see Leo and they sleep together. She asks him to meet her at her house for the impromptu Thanksgiving dinner and says she has an errand to run. She goes to Natalie's work and Natalie apologizes for not calling and asks if they're ok. April says that she isn't going to get in the way of Natalie and Dom but it's clear she isn't ok with that relationship. Natalie doesn't know how to react. April tearfully asks her to be the big sister Brenna needs while she's in the hospital and in case anything goes wrong. Natalie promises she will be and its such a tearjerker. 

Sara and George continue hanging out in the airport until it's announced that their flight is cancelled. Back at the house, Emma and Brenna serve the terrible Thanksgiving dinner that they tried to cook and it's so sweet. Beth is there with them as well. Everything is good until they get the call from Sara saying the flight got cancelled. To make matters worse, April gets a house call from Raquel. 

Raquel tells her that it has come down to her and Danny and given the enthusiasm Danny has shown Raquel has recommended that April get laid off. She also tells April that the HR guy said if April laid off, she would have grounds for a law suit because of her condition- so April will keep her job by default. April feels terrible that her cancer will cost Danny his job, so she quits even though it's the only thing she's ever wanted to do in life. 

The next day, April meets with Dr. H. As they prepare for her hospital stay and April has a "whatever happens happens" attitude which Dr. H. Isn't happy about. She says that if this is April's attitude then she has already lost half the battle. Before getting her port put in, Dr. H. takes her to dilapidated room and tries to get April to let out her anger. Finally April starts yelling at Dr. H. about how angry she is that this wasn't caught sooner especially because April went to her weeks ago thinking something was wrong (Dr. H. maintains that April was still healthy then) and April begins smashing the walls and destroying this demolition room with a sledgehammer. She shares that she feels stupid for thinking she had actually beaten her cancer. 

Once she's smashed out her anger and gotten her IV situation taken care of, she takes a walk in the hall. This is where Sara and George appear. April and her mom practically run to each other and hug each other. Sara says she'll never leave April again and April laughs and begs her not to take it to the extreme. She is also glad to see George. 

Back in her room, she hangs out with Leo and marriage is jokingly brought up. April continues to try to pick a TV show to binge watch while Leo asks her to marry him. She thinks he's kidding and he explains that they've never been a normal couple so why act normal now. He gets down on one knee and asks her to marry him.....and she says YES!

Chasing Life Recap - "No News Is Bad News" (S01E20)

April and Danny become competitive at work after Raquel is named the new Editor in Chief of the paper. The friends battle it out and turn on each other as April feels the pressure to be the "old April" who's main prioity in life was her job. She misses spending time with Leo's family just so she can work on a story.

Beth is distressed about her breakup and has drinks with April and Leo to vent about it. April surprises her by telling her she got a great deal on a trip to Bermuda and she's taking Beth with her in 2 weeks. Later when April can't come be by her side for a nervous breakdown, Beth calls Leo who talks with her while they get pedicures (it was endearing and hilarious).

Sara and Emma work on cleaning out Thomas' storage locker and Sara finds a set of George's books. Sara said she didn't like the relationship only because she didn't think Sara was in a good place, but she seems lighter now. Sara also finds children's books that are inscribed to Natalie. She decides to invite Natalie to the locker and see if she'd like to go through it as well. Natalie comes over to help Sara and they try and make the situation normal and get along.

Natalie and Dominic decide they have to tell April that they're seeing each other and they decide Natalie should do it, so she invites April for drinks.

Greer finds out her parents are getting divorced and her father is moving in to their Nantucket house so unless she stays with her mother, she has to move. Brenna offers for her to live with them but Sara says she has to think about it. April notes that Greer doesn't seem opposed to living with her dad, so Brenna lies and says that Sara said Greer couldn't stay. Brenna also finds out from Dr. H. that she is a bone marrow match for someone who needs a transplant and asks if she would donate- she tells her it's a lot to think about so don't make a rush decision.

Leo goes to visit April at work and brings her something to eat which is really sweet. She decides to leave at 7:30 which Raquel is not happy about. Before Natalie and April even get to drinks, Natalie blurts out that she and Dom are together. April assumes they're just hooking up and Natalie is offended that she'd think that's all she is good for. Natalie leaves and April invites Danny to have drinks and they bury the hatchet and go back to being friends.

Sara flies to Cleveland to surprise George at a seminar where he is giving a talk. She's really excited to see her "friend", until she sees him kissing a woman in the hotel bar. She's really hurt and slips away before he sees her.

Greer and Brenna say goodbye and Greer presents her with a table tennis set since they first bonded by playing tennis. It was such a sweet moment. 

Dr. H. is about to leave the hospital when one of the nurses hands her April's file. She reads it and breaks down before calling April and leaving a message asking her to come in the morning for a follow up. She asks the nurse to make sure there is a hospital bed available.

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.

Chasing Life Recap: "Rest In Peace" (S01E18)

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.

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.

Chasing Life Recap - "The Big Leagues" (S01E16)

The episode starts with April getting asked out by a high school student, Julian, in the hospital waiting room. He says he recognizes her from her article in the Post and said shared that he has testicular cancer and asked her to do a story on him for her column. He also tells her that when he found out about his cancer, he made a promise to himself that he would ask out any girl he thought was pretty.

April and her mom see the doctor who lets her know that she is still in remission. April asks her (after her mom steps out) if she is ok to have sex and the doctor gives her the green light. April tells Beth who hilariously dumps a huge box of condoms into April's purse. April arrives at work and notices that a few of the condoms are sticking out so she grips her bag tightly as Danny and Dominic step into the elevator with her. Her phone begins ringing and they tease her about why she won't answer it.

That night, Leo has dinner with the Carver ladies and April practically rushes them all out. Once they're alone, April and Leo sleep together.Which leads to an awkward morning when they are caught by Sarah sneaking out. Sarah is casual about it, but April is embarrassed and ducks out to go to work. Leo stays and has breakfast with Sarah, talking to her about his life and how unsure he is about his future now that he knows he has one. He's scared of what is to come because he has nothing to fall back on and he is tired of just being Bruce Hendrie's son.

At work, April makes a bet with the sports writer that she can get the inside scoop from baseball player Richie Miranda about his contract negotiations. They shake on it and the loser has to bring the winner tacos for a week. April finds out that a popular girl said yes to Julian and he asks her to come to his dance and interview him so he doesn't embarrass himself in front of her. April agrees and then finds out the dance is the same night as the event she is trying to meet Richie at. She thinks she can make both. Leo heads to one of his father's job sites and is embarrassed to have to ask about money. He finds out a guy he went to high school with is working for his dad.

Meanwhile, Greer is acting up at school and dyed the tips of her hair purple. At first Brenna and Ford think it's cool. Greer meets them at Alchemy where Brenna is working with Kieran and invites them to go on a trip to her vacation home. She insists that Kieran give her a tattoo and he refuses since she is underage which is illegal. Greer flips out and she over hears Kieran tell Brenna she's acting like a psycho. Greer locks herself in the bathroom and Ford leaves. Brenna talks Greer down and they have a sleepover with Kieran at the shop. She shares that she has depression and she is on medication for that and anxiety. She also says she doesn't like taking the medication so she took herself off of it. Greer opens up about feeling like she has this dark side that she has to hide and be ashamed of that no one knows about. Brenna then shares that after her dad died, she slept with a senior from their school and got pregnant and the guy gave her a check to have it taken care of. She also says that she told 1 person, Ford, who drove with her to Connecticut where it can be done without a parent's permission. Brenna shares that she and Ford have been close ever since. Kieran shares that he got a tramp stamp.

April and Leo go to the club first and he goes to have a drink. He gets upset when someone refers to him as Bruce Hendrie's son and asks about his cancer. Leo drinks and April sees the sports reporter get turned down for the VIP room. April tries to get back there but ultimately lies (makes them think she's pregnant) and as soon as Richie sees her, he recognizes her. They sit and she shares about what happened and basically thanks him for saving her life. He gets pulled away before she can ask him about his contract negotiations. April gets a text from Julian asking where she is and she decides to give the Richie story one more shot before leaving. She walks back into the VIP lounge and sees Richie and Leo snorting cocaine.

April and Leo have it out, coming to the conclusion that cancer was the only thing they had in common. April wrestles with whether or not to tell the story. She runs into Dominic and mentions what happened, leaving out Leo's part in it, and says she doesn't know what to do. He gives her credit, saying that her job is tough and she has a hard choice to make and her respects her for doing it. Ultimately April shares the story in the paper (excluding Leo's role) and it makes the television news. Everyone in her office is celebrating her accomplishment and her boss is very pleased.

Chasing Life - Review

Chasing Life is a show about 24-year-old April Carver, who is a smart and quick-witted aspiring journalist who is trying to make her way at a Boston newspaper. April tries to balance her career with her family – her widowed mom Sara, rebellious little sister Brenna, and her grandmother Emma. April finally lands a big interview for her paper. In order to get the interview, April donates blood (so she can talk to the interviewee) at her estranged uncle's hospital. She passes out but scores the interview, and a date with her hot co-worker Dominic. Her uncle visits her to inform her that they ran tests on her blood and she has leukemia.

Just as everything in April's life has started to come together, this news is devastating and she must find a way to deal with the news, tell her family and friends, as well as fight this cancer. In the midst of all this, April finds out that her father had an affair and has a daughter who lives in Florida.

Now I know a show about cancer should be a major bummer, but surprisingly- this one isn't. While every episode is bound to make you cry (or bawl if you're like me), you are also guaranteed a laugh, and this heart-warming feeling of encouragement. This show makes you want to fight and to appreciate every minute of your life, because it is a beautiful thing. Another thing I like about this show is the family. The Carver family is so relate-able- they are perfect. No matter what happens, they stand by each other and they fight for one another.
