4 Shares
Pose returned for its third and final season on Sunday night, and it s already making fans emotional. During the two-episode premiere, which takes place three years after season two, one character s storyline seemingly comes to an end. After moving back to NYC at the end of season two, Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swain) only makes a handful of appearances in the first episode at the family dinner and for the O.J. Simpson trial watch party.
During the party, Damon and Pray Tell (Billy Porter) share a moment as they discuss alcohol addiction. Damon eventually reveals that he has also suffered from addiction as he shows Pray Tell a book from Alcoholics Anonymous. However, by the second episode, Damon is completely MIA. It isn t until the end of the episode, that we learn from Blanca (MJ Rodriguez) that Damon relapsed from alcoholism and moved to be with a cousin in Charleston, SC.
