From that very gag-worthy вЂњRoyaltyвЂќ runway courtesy of the House of Abundance in the showвЂ™s pilot episode, that вЂњairless roomвЂќ (as Elektra describes it) has been a safe haven, a space of possibility. Other, perhaps, than to remind us of the joy these ballroom scenes have captured throughout PoseвЂ™s tenure. You really just have to bask in its fabulousness.

Speaking of which: вЂњAinвЂ™t No Mountain High EnoughвЂќ! We should be thankful he went out on his own terms after one brilliant, incandescent ballroom performance. The season has, in a way, been always leading to PrayвЂ™s death. But that didnвЂ™t blunt its impact one bit. Watching it, you pretty much knew what Ricky would find the following morning when he let himself into PrayвЂ™s apartment. The moment speaks volumes for the amount of information it withholds, a restraint that Pose so rarely affords itself. Sometimes, all you need is Emmy and Tony winner Billy Porter to hold you rapt as he updates whatвЂ™s arguably one of the most iconic moments of 21st-century television and give it a queer spin. Like the best moments on the show, this scene is powerful because of its simplicity.

And what, in turn, Pose is telling us with its very last episode: вЂњForever, and ever, youвЂ™ll stay in my heart, and I will love you.вЂќ All the while, Aretha FranklinвЂ™s rendition of вЂњSay a Little PrayerвЂќ plays in the background, perhaps giving voice to whatвЂ™s going through PrayвЂ™s mind. The camera knows to stay with him, letting us take in every second of this moment. HeвЂ™s staring at himself but also past himself. He slowly and carefully removes his makeup. Pray Tell has come home and sits in front of his vanity mirror.
