It appears that the Glow can lie "dormant" inside the mind of an infected person after the effects of their initial exposure wear off, as evidenced by Ramona's (and later Scott's) frequent episodes of spontaneously sporting the Glow throughout the series. Gideon demonstrates this when he uses the Glow to make Scott and Ramona argue during the final battle. It also makes a person more susceptible to Gideon's manipulations. As such, the Glow can be used to poison or destroy relationships. The Glow suppresses positive emotions such as friendship and love, and simultaneously enhances negative feelings like suspicion, jealousy, and self-loathing. The chapter "The Glow Pt.2" was named after it.ĭescribed as a powerful weapon of "emotional warfare", the Glow manipulates the Subspace inside the minds of those it infects, causing them to become overwhelmed by their personal issues. The Glow Pt.2 is an album by The Microphones. When active, the Glow will cause the heads of those affected to literally glow, hence its name. Its nature remained a mystery until Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, where Gideon explains its purpose to Scott and Ramona. It is first seen on Ramona Flowers at the end of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life and continues to appear throughout the series. The Glow is a weaponized form of emotions created by Gideon Graves that uses Subspace to trap someone inside their own mind with their personal demons.
