Blanca and Pray struggled to get into a clinical trial for a new cocktail of meds and ultimately Pray sacrificed himself for Ricky and passed away.
As Pray and Ricky spent more time together, Ricky revealed that his own disease was worsening, showing Pray a lesion on his chest. Pray told him he had him, but the full extent of just how much he would take care of him wasn’t revealed until a little later in the episode. First, they protested in front of the hospital over the lack of access for people of color to these new drugs, chanting about healthcare being a right and waving signs .
Early in the episode Pray told Blanca he wanted “to be remembered as all of what the balls could be — hope and joy and family, sometimes viciousness,” and that he certainly was. The show chose not to dwell on any survivor’s guilt Pray’s loved ones may have felt. It also didn’t answer what would happen to Ricky now that his hook up with the new meds was gone.
But “Pose” did not end there. Jumping forward to 1998, the series infused hope into where it left the rest of its characters. Blanca was celebrating not only a four-year anniversary with Christopher, but also becoming a full-fledged nurse, while Judy was working in the maternity ward since the new AIDS drugs were working so well the hospital didn’t need so many rooms for those patients.
