SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow's story clicks into place when Owen is in the car with his parents. After Owen admits to wanting to watch the surreal young-adult series The Pink Opaque, Owen's abusive father Frank scoffs his only line in the film, disgustedly noting that The Pink Opaque is a show "for girls.
Owen's reality has blurred with TV show tropes; the character even narrates what's going on to the audience. Owen Refuses Maddie's Offer To Escape For The Second Time The Pink Opaque Starts To Bleed Into I Saw The TV Glow's Reality The incredibly surreal ending sequence of I Saw the TV Glow is set up by some startling revelations. Although Maddy disappeared years ago, she returns to the small suburban town that would have killed her to try and save Owen. Previously, Maddy had asked Owen to run away with her — to live their true lives together.
Owen has always felt a kinship with Isabel because the teen wants to be Isabel — to live openly as someone who looks like her. This is echoed by Maddy's admiration of Tara, The Pink Opaque's tough-as-nails lesbian-coded character. Maddy and Owen bonded so deeply over the show because they saw their truest selves in Tara and Isabel. While Maddy seized the chance to be Tara, despite her fear, Owen did not take the same action.
After Owen looks inside their own chest and stares at their glowing, beautiful truth, I Saw the TV Glow doesn't end. Instead, the film cuts to Owen walking through the lobby of the arcade, apologizing to everyone they encounter.
