At first, all he tries to do is change the family vacation spot to a place he wanted to go, to see some of his friends. The next day, she takes the cat with her in the car, even though Bailey doesn't like taking it with her on vacation, just because her grandmother didn't want to leave the cat alone for three days. Then, in the car, he convinced the children to scream and scream to go visit a random plantation, lying about hidden treasures because their grandmother just wanted to see the house and the arbors again. In the end, after her entire family had been killed by the Misfit, and she was the only one left, she was still trying to get the Misfit to spare her by saying things like "you shouldn't shoot a lady", and how she would "give him all the money he had (365)." These examples show the extent of the grandmother's selfishness and her dedication to saving and helping herself even before her only child's family. The Misfit cannot be blamed for his family's death, as he killed his family himself. She was the one who brought the cat and let it go, causing the car accident. She was the one who convinced the boys to convince their father to go visit a house that none of them even knew existed. In the end, she was the one who blurted out the Misfit's name once she recognized him, instead of keeping her mouth shut.
