Leo’s disturbing drawings of Grace are one of the first mysteries in Netflix’s The Body<\/a>, but it takes a while before we find out exactly what’s in his sketchbook. And there\u2019s more to them than you might think. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the very first episode, a tutoring session between Leo (Jackson Kelly) and Grace (Sofia Wylie)<\/a> soon turns flirty and, for a moment, it looks like they might kiss. Leo <\/span>clearly<\/span><\/i> likes Grace, but due to his extreme religious upbringing, he bolts out the room in fear of his impure thoughts. <\/span><\/p>\n

What he didn\u2019t realise is he left his sketchbook out there in the open. Grace discovers Leo\u2019s hidden drawings and is so horrified by what she sees that she throws him out of her house. He tries to apologise and begs her not to tell anyone, but she simply tells him to \u201cleave\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although a couple of the drawings fall on the floor, we don\u2019t really see what\u2019s in the book until later in the Netflix<\/a> series. But a lot happens before that point. <\/span><\/p>\n
