Ep 8. Death Becomes Her

April's world is turned upside down in the latest episode of Chasing Life season 1 episode 8, "Death Becomes Her." After months of living with and fighting cancer, April is officially put into remission. While this might seem like great news, April is left feeling confused and lost. For months, all she has been able to think about is surviving and fighting off the disease, so now that she's "cured," she's unsure of what to do next.

While April is struggling with her new sense of identity, her family and friends are trying to figure out how to move on from the last few months as well. Brenna is trying to figure out how to come to terms with April's illness and how it affected her, and Dominic is feeling guilty for the way he's been treating April since they started dating.

Throughout the episode, April's journey will be highlighted, as she attempts to find a new sense of purpose now that her cancer is in remission. However, she soon discovers that even though she's in remission, it's never truly gone. Meanwhile, her relationship with Dominic is pushed to the limit as they try to navigate the new normal.

In one storyline, Brenna discovers her new friend and crush Greer is gay. Brenna sneaks out her mom's car and goes to Greer's to tell her how she feels and bring her flowers. They end up getting close and Brenna almost kisses Greer, but then Greer tells her that she is a lesbian. Brenna tells her it's okay and that she just got her hopes up but they agree to continue their friendship.

Another storyline follows Beth's attempt to restart her career with the help of Greer, but she finds herself struggling to write and frustrated with the fact that she can't seem to find the same level of inspiration that she had before. However, after a heart-to-heart talk with Greer, Beth discovers that inspiration can come from something as simple as a conversation with a friend.

As the episode progresses, April begins to realize that remission does not mean that everything is back to normal. She's filled with endless amounts of anxiety and worry, never sure if her cancer could come back at any moment. This overwhelming fear causes April to feel isolated and alone, despite having family members and friends who are trying to support her.

In the end, "Death Becomes Her" is a reminder that life is full of ups and downs.
