This had to have been so heartbreaking for them to watch! Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale stumbled across a harrowing storyline during their rewatch of Glee that they had completely forgotten about — and it reminded them all too much of the loss of their former co-star Cory Monteith.

Oof. During Monday’s episode of their podcast, And That’s What You REALLY Missed, the actors were discussing season 3, episode 9, which included an “eerie” detail about how Cory’s character Finn’s father died of a drug overdose.

Of course, we all know the 31-year-old tragically passed away from an accidental drug overdose in 2013 — and that was just over a year after this episode aired.
