All I know is Stephanie Mills is about to get her coin while I wear this song OUT in candy’s memory.

[@therenaissancetv6854]

And I thank you🌻💝

[@nomimalone194]

I just purchase this song from Amazon like 3 time

[@tkc5898]

Kee - DJ Knock Steady i’ve been repeating this song non-stop but unfortunately Stephanie didn’t write the song so she won’t be getting much if any 🥴

[@kayluv33]

tkc she’ll get a lil something somethin from the streaming revenue though as the artist. I’m sure whatever it is miss mills will welcome that check! Lol

True and she deserves every penny.

This had to be hands down one of the saddest moments in the history of television 📺! The entire episode from the dialogue,acting and real life storytelling shook me to my core!

[@lolitabubbles26]

I could hold it together pretty good until the conversation she had with Pray Tell at the funeral. Destroyed me.

[@Dasani605]

Yes! I lost it during that scene too!

[@drewkatchen805]

Agreed

[@csjobson7763]

Third time watching this scene. I thought I was good and then the ending when Candy got closer to the funeral doors and her parents were watching her perform. Nah, nah, I ain't good!

[@verbatimmags]

LOL, I always lose it when she goes to lil Papi. It's as if he's so happy to see her wake up from her death.

[@davesefoster]

Like, the way her dad is smiling, and her mom is nodding her head, so proud of the woman her daughter has become. It was heartbreakingly beautiful

[@orbit319]

The beginning bars of this song will now forever make me burst into tears! R.I.P. Ms Candy.

[@csjobson7763]

[@csjobson7763]

[@radishmoomoo2471]

That little final exchange between Electra and Candy was so minimal yet so beautiful

[@luckeeleeyeo]

I can't even deal. I NEVER cry when I watch anything, but this episode broke me all the way down. R.I.P. Mother Candy Ferocity. #RememberingVenus

[@verbatimmags]

I agree. I saw it last tuesday and It's now saturday and that episode still tug at my heart.

[@Killua_Morales]

It's been three years now, and I still go back to this scene.

[@stlbjh]

People keep asking "Why Candy? She was the fav. Why not a lesser character?" They chose Candy because she was the favorite. This needed to hurt. Trans people are whole persons with real lives. Many forced into dangerous jobs to make a living. Her death hurts because we got to know her. Do you know how many trans people are murdered and no one cares. It doesn't make the news. Every single one of these were a Candy Ferocity. They had to make it truly hurt and it truly did. Also she is staring in the next season of AHS which is probably taking up a lot of her time and she was unable to do both shows. Not sure, just a guest.

[@blackfeet60637]

stlbjh very well stated! She was my fav but in order for us to feel the real pain, someone needed to be killed and it worked...so happy for Ms. Ross to be on AHS!!

[@anythamarquez220]

❤

[@pamd309]

I can’t stop watching this . My favorite part is when she is walking towards the back and she does the shoe hop move. It’s so beautiful- I’m going to miss candy. The part that moves me most is as she’s leaving the ballroom.. ‘this realm and her community’ the people in the other room make me think of all the folks we’ve lost to violence and disease. That made my sob. I’m thankful to Janet Mock and Ryan for making invisible more visible

[@alphacharm]

Pamela Donaldson yeesss I agree 😭

[@treslecheluv]

@ Pamela Donaldson: I must confess that I have watch this episide like 12 times since it aired. My favorite parts were Pray Tell's 1lb of butter voodoo/find another way to love me; Candy Candy's funeral makeover (no Aunt Carol look allowed); LuLu's rage during the viewing of Candy in the casket; The Pallbearers!!; the Judges fanning Candy with the scorecards during lipsync routine...come to think of it...The Entire Episode was AMAZING!! LOL

[@Gholden1972]

Pamela Donaldson so beautifully said. Agreed.

[@ABisexualGod]

Beautiful send off. Entire episode was great. When you see Ryan Murphy as director or writer you know it’s gonna be an amazing episode. Just hope he sticks with this show til the end and not abandon it like Glee,Nip/Tuck,and few of the AHS seasons....

[@Wh0G0neCheckMeB00]

Coderz Nah, Sis. The great thing about this show is that he hired writers who’ve lived/are living these real experiences. That’s what makes the show great! The subversive, poignant, yet authentic dialogue is coming from “realness.”

[@anthonycorbett6264]

Don't forget Janet Mock

[@lolitabubbles26]

Ryan is only a portion of the talent on the show. Now, what he does have is a lot of power in Hollywood. He was able to have creative control. And with the writers and contributors that HE chose, not the network...it was magic.

[@andracaston9877]

Coderz that’s what he did to Scream Queens as well

[@lifesrevolter]

Not gonna lie, when I first saw she came back from the dead to perform. I thought it was stupid. Then I kept watching and couldn't stop crying. The symbolism of getting to watch your loved ones put on a farewell performance. Brilliant.

[@corneliuswhite5139]

This song will hereinafter be wedded to this scene. I'll never be able to listen to it again in the same way. And THEN they played, "It Is Well with my soul" in the ending credits. I was no more good. 😢

I've watched this scene so many times, and it makes me emotional every time. Candy danced like never before, and it was so phenomenal that her parents got to "see" it. Definitely reminds us that we need to love, accept, uplift our loved ones while they're here! This show has a special place in my heart, and I feel like it's one I'll never forget! Kudos to the entire team for creating such a revolutionary and eye opening show!

I've watched this scene so many times since it aired and never once realized that Candy, who we know is not a dancer, was actually dancing. There are so many layers to this episode. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[@williamdeangellodavis2224]

It’s crazy how powerful this episode is…like from the revelation of pray tell on why he always came for her to the idea of Candy’s father being seemingly more accepting than her mother and also the fact that they had Candy’s spirit visit her friends and family, and THIS! This was a perfect ending to the episode because to me it shows how there’s a possibility we get to create our own afterlife and this is all Candy wanted, complete acceptance from her people🙌🏾

[@lolarose8968]

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful. I cried. 😢😢. And I love how Pray Tell got dressed extra black and extra femme for the scene. That was so powerful when his character told Candy that his dislike for her was more about himself as a gay black man.

[@leilani5289]

For some reason I just keep going back to this clip. Imagine how many people there at the taping of this part really shed REAL tears remembering all of their loved ones who lost their lives to violence against trans people and anyone in the LGBT community period. I bet you those were Real tears Electra was shedding. After this episode, I googled how many trans women were murdered starting from the 80s all the way until now. It was so many. It’s so disgusting. This world needs a change. I wish everyone safety and well wishes. This episode was EVERYTHING.
