Shaun was overcome with emotion as he broke down in the hospital’s pharmacy and told Lea they should go their separate ways and call off their wedding.
Ahead of the show’s return, showrunner David Shore gave viewers an insight into the future of Shaun and Lea’s relationship.
He told Entertainment Weekly: “Everybody is reeling from the death of the baby and of course, Shaun is reeling most of all. He doesn’t simply go, ‘I was upset. Let’s move on’.
“He goes, ‘I was upset for a reason. You [Lea] let me down. You did wrong, and you have to make it right.’ And so can she make it right? Can she correct that?”
