Pose Showrunner Breaks Down Damon's Sudden Exit in the Season 3 Premiere 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.
