Everyone deals with grief differently, and for Leo (Tim Kano), his path is to distance himself from memories of Britney. That includes his baby daughter.
The little girl might not have a clue what’s going on around her, but the heartbreaking reality is that she has lost one parent to a deadly accident and is about to lose another to a drastic life choice.
Leo comes to a shock decision – that he does not want to be a single dad. After a brush with danger, he decides he’s not fit to be alone with Abigail and instead of trying to ride out his grief, he reasons it’s better he’s not in her life at all.
He makes a life-changing request of Aaron and David – he wants them to raise her. The couple are blindsided, with David certain Leo will change his mind once he’s come to his senses. Aaron, on the other hand, can only see more hurt on the horizon in getting close to the baby only for her to be taken again.
But he can’t bring himself to say no and as Leo puts up more distance between him and his child, the couple step in to make sure she feels loved. Leo is shutting down and his daughter is suffering the consequences. Even her doctor’s appointment doesn’t help him see how much he’s giving up.
With Leo’s grief causing him to shirk his parenting responsibilities, will Aaron and David be forced to step up? Or are they setting themselves up for more pain?
