The last scene of the film shows Jean turning on her television, and eating ice cream, while singing along to The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song, something she had earlier told Christine she did as a way of coping with sadness.Īt the time of the film's release, Chubbuck's parents and older brother Tim had died, leaving her other brother Greg as the only remaining member of her immediate family. Christine eventually succumbs to her injuries. She is still breathing, and Jean accompanies her to the hospital where they are met by Christine's mother who was watching the broadcast. Initially, the other people at the station believe she is joking but quickly realize what happened when Christine falls out of her chair bleeding.

Christine reads out several minutes of news on local crime, but when footage of a crime scene jams and she is asked to stall, she announces that the station will be airing a live suicide attempt, pulls out a gun, and shoots herself in the head. Returning to work, Christine plays nice with Michael and asks him for his permission to do a piece. Talking to him about the promotion, she learns that George asked for Andrea, the sports anchor, to be transferred along with him. Leaving him, Christine drives to the home of the owner of the station, Bob Anderson, where she pretends she has a flat tire. After the session, George drives Christine home and tells her he is going to Baltimore.
