It’s not the image of pole dancing we’re usually fed, which I suppose is P-Valley in a nutshell - some of the time, anyway.Īnyway, that classic penultimate episode all-roads-converging feeling is very evident in “Snow”, which finds the Pynk itself, finally, the nexus of all the show’s ongoing drama and relationship turmoil. When Mercedes arrives, she finds people milling around quietly discussing how strong and graceful she is she stops at an image of herself, contorted against the setting sun. Truth be told, we’ve probably seen Mercedes almost fall on someone’s head in rehearsals a few too many times, but I suppose it’s to reiterate the point about her existential crisis, which is only exacerbated when she gets a call out of the blue from Farrah, who has staged a photography exhibit revolving entirely around Mercedes. Mercedes is still struggling with the fact she’s probably a few years past a stripper’s ideal retirement age, Roulette can’t help but tell her so, Big Bone doesn’t like to see Miss Mississippi hovering anywhere near Diamond, and Whisper… well, let’s just say she doesn’t have any positive prognostications about the evening. But only Hailey and Keyshawn know about that plan, so the politics are a little more complicated. Hailey has the whole thing planned out, with Keyshawn headlining so that she can triple the door takings even while staying within the 50% capacity rule, which will also line Keyshawn’s pockets enough that she and the kids can flee from Derrick first thing in the morning. The outcome of the race isn’t the only thing that “Snow” is building toward, since the re-re-re-opening of the Pynk is imminent, and the club still seems a ways from ready.
