April is left devastated and confused about what she should do next. She confides in her mother and younger sister, Brenna, about the news and they try to support her in any way they can. April is torn between marrying Leo and starting a new life together and getting treatment for cancer, which means postponing their wedding indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Brenna has her own issues to deal with. She is trying to figure out her own sexuality and is seen seeking advice from her friend. She also has to make a decision about whether to go to college or to take a gap year to be with her boyfriend for whom she has strong feelings.

April goes for her chemo session, and this is where we see the struggles of a cancer patient. April is seen struggling with the chemicals going into her body and the side effects that come with it. She begins to feel sick and is attended to by Leo and Dominic, her ex. Despite her difficult situation, April seems to be very clear about what she wants to do - she wants to get married to Leo no matter what happens and no matter how much time they have together.

The episode then shows the couple's wedding preparations as they go through old photos, write their vows, and talk about their future plans. April is happy to have made the decision to marry Leo, and the two exchange vows in a beautiful and emotional ceremony. The wedding is intimate and sweet, with only their close friends and family present.
