Question? What do you think will happen to 2nd leg of this itinerary

So in late January I was trying to burn my last 2 SWU and found C space on LHR to LAX which I am flying today... for the return in late May I found C for the first leg LAX to JFK and that shows confirmed but the second leg JFK to LHR now shows “not offered” and it is on AA metal... when original booked both pulled from last’s years SWU an the JFK to LHR showed “requested”... I have had a schedual change to the return flight so I might have some leverage if some C space opens up that I can switch too

my question is if I do nothing what do you think the SWU will show in the system/gate for second leg?
