Warning: PoseFX spoilers ahead.
Where was Elektra Abundance? She has her excuses: she needed to rehearse and she didn't want a mug shot. But that's all hogwash to Pray Tell, who reminds her that the balls take place in the evening, and mass was in the morning. All of the children of the House of Evangelista made sacrifices in their personal lives to attend both. So why couldn't Elektra make it to church on Sunday?
It is not until later in the episode, however, when we see a ball competition that demands French Revolution runway realness from its participants. "Poverty and abundance, personified" is what Pray Tell wants to see on that makeshift catwalk.
Elektra expects to be praised for her glamorous and dramatic efforts at the ball, but it's not until Pray Tell reads her for filth in front of the entire room that she realizes that skipping out on an ACT UP protest for her community so that she can show up to the ball dressed as one of France's most insensitive rulers is not exactly in line with the main tenets of family.
"We have much to fight back against, children," Pray Tell reminds his family at the ball. Fittingly, the episode is bookended with a conclusion that highlights ACT UP's slogan: Silence=Death.
