Throughout the finale, and really the entire series, Blanca is a shining star. Even when things seem bleak, she's always there to find the bright side. Blanca is by Pray's side every step of the way, even when it means that she has to take part in a clinical drug trial for a drug that's side effects are still unknown. She promises to help him finish his quilt square when it seems like he isn't going to make it and she's there performing by his side when he looks healthier than ever. After his death, she also bonds with Pray's mother over the things that made Pray . . . well, Pray.
In the flash-forward to 1998, Blanca finally accomplishes her dreams of becoming a registered nurse. Still with Christopher, and the grandmother of the House of Evangelista, she is bestowed legendary status by the ballroom community. "Ballroom is home. Ballroom is family. Ballroom is love," Elektra shares as she hands her "daughter" the award. In a full-circle moment, Blanca shares wisdom with an up-and-coming house that Pray once shared with her.
