Sure enough, there was a scene during the season premiere where Leah called her ex Jeremy and reached out to him to find a lump in her chest.

She also told him that the gynecologist had suggested getting an ultrasound to make sure, and Jeremy encouraged her to find out what the hell it is and look into it.
