So as many of us guessed, Jeremy Sherwood was the casualty on “Army Wives,” killed in combat. Even though most of us guessed that is who it was, the episode was nonetheless really sad.

For one brief moment early on, when we didn’t yet know who had died, when we saw the wives sitting at the funeral . . . I thought it was Trevor. I saw TJ next to his mom and thought “Oh no, it’s Trevor!”

However it was Jeremy who was killed, and the news sent shockwaves through the unit in Afghanistan and back home for the wives and their families. Roxy had to answer her kids questions as to “Could our dad die to?” while Roland remembered working with Jeremy to help him get ready to go back to combat.

Of course the real heart break was watching Tonya, Denise and Frank deal with Jeremy’s death. Frank was the one that was truly heartbreaking to watch, especially when he had to escort the body home. Sitting on that plane with your son’s coffin right there, wow! Probably the worst scene of the show, in terms of heartbreak that is.

I definitely wonder if perhaps Tonya might return later in the season. Surprise she’s pregnant! I could see them pulling that soap trick.

I also hope that Trevor doesn’t turn to pills again to deal with this.

The previews for what is to come have Denise going AWAL. Where has she disappeared to? Time will tell!
