Exactly. If Pam were truly “pole addicted,” she metaphorically would have taken that dive, too.

I mean, she's the one who quits at all end, while Rouke's Ram stage-dive (literally) into the abyss of the filmic blackout. Both of their children suffered from one degree to another from parental neglect. And from all those scenes of her being agitated by the lack of eyes devouring her on stage, Pam also confronts the sad truth of her profession, leave to the young girls. Kudos to both Pam/Ram for their Golden Globes noms.
