They/Them ending has surely taken a toll on people, and we are here to explain it all to you guys. The film was released in 2022. It has the genre of a slasher film with loads and loads of horror in it. John Logan has directed the project. The story throws light on LGBTQ teenagers. They are attending a camp where an option of conversion is available. Although, they get targeted by a masked killer during this. The film has not received a theatrical debut. It was made available to watch throw Peacock. The critics have supported the movie. Despite the fact that They/Them is quite inclusive in its cast, it still lacks the story that it promises to deliver. I mean, it is surely a great film, but the story did not keep up with the slasher genre as much as it should.
The film’s cast includes Kevin Bacon reprising the role of Owen Whistler. Then we have Theo Germaine enacting the character of Jordan Lewis. Anna Chlumsky does the part of Molly Erickson. Carrie Preston reprises the role of Cora Knox. Now, let us start understanding the plot of the film first in order to grasp the ending well. The film starts in a dim setting at night. We see that a figure kills a person who is driving back to the conversion camp, which is called Whistler Camp as well. Now, the scene changes to the next day morning when various teenagers arrive at the Whistler Camp. It is owned by a man named Owen Whistler.
He tells the teens that this camp is a safe space for them to fully execute their identity, and no one will try to convert them forcefully, it is their decision to make. Owen then divides the group into males and females. Although Jordan is a nonbinary kid and a transgender and does not feel okay going into any of these two choices. But Owen still assigns them to the boy’s cabin.

What Is The Truth About The Conversion Camp?
Later that day, the group comes together and shares an introduction. They discuss why they have come to this camp in the first place. Jordan says that they belong to a religious family and thus, made a deal with them that they would legally emancipate themselves. The next morning, we see that Owen is in a very bad mood and kicks Alexandra out for not disclosing earlier that she is trans. He also assigns her to the boy’s cabin for dishonesty, where she convinces the camp’s nurse to give her Estradiol, a hormone that promotes estrogen in the body.
Later in the movie, we see that Jordan finds out about the truth of the camo and how, in a facade of safe space, they are trying to torture the kids. They have no sense of responsibility toward the kids’ mental health and continue to do whatever the hell they want to. They even do not use the proper pronouns for everyone.
Soon, the killer comes to rise once again and kills Zane and Sarah. Gabriel is electrocuted to near death. The next day, we see that the teens and people come together to see the shocking condition of the bodies that these people are in right now. Cora is also killed later. Alexandra takes it upon herself to lead the young members of the group out of the camp. At last, the mystery figure is revealed who is going around killing people.

The mystery killer at the Whistler Camp is Molly. She is not actually Molly but Angie Phelps. She killed an adult the other night at the beginning of the film, and that was Molly. It is her mission to close every conversion camp in the country because she hates it. Angie tries to attack Owen but does not win against him. Jordan then has possession of the gun, although they do not shoot Angie.
Instead, they wait, and thus, Angie finishes off Owen herself. In the end, we see that Angie is trying to convince Jordan to join her and take revenge from all these conversion camps that are torturing the kids. Although, Jordan refuses to do the same, and by this time, the police have arrived. They arrest Angie. As for the group, they decide to live their lives with their true Identity instead of hiding it from others from now.
