These last two outings before the shows grand finale feel like a matching pair.

Pose, as Ive noted before, is very much a show about motherhood.

For Angel, a father hasnt just been an absent figure.

Hes been an ever-present one thats remained just off frame by choice.

And it wasnt, as so many storylines in this show are, neatly resolved by episodes end.

For Papi (Or should I call you Daddy?

as Ricky jokes), being a dad is showing up for his son, Beto.

Its not losing his patience when his energetic little boy chaotically tries to help out in the kitchen.

Its being the loving father figure he wanted for himself.

Yall are real men, he tells those around him.

Theres softness in his strength and there is strength in his softness.

Its what made his I Swear moment all the more heartwarming.

As does that final image of this newly created family hanging out at the beach.

Does this mean we wont see them in next weeks finale episode?

Are we going to see everyone else get their very own version of a happily ever after?

I, for one, cant wait to find out.

You cant even buy a decent DVD of it!

Can any one of the millions of streaming services out there rectify this for us soon?

Budget is not in that bitchs vocabulary!

truer words have not been said about Elektra.

Wedidget to meet Jerome from the strip club!

Correction: an earlier version of this recap misidentified the wedding serenade song.

It has been updated.
