Once they arrived, Amy acted politely with Christine's mother, Anna, and her stepfather, Charles (whom the latter develops a sudden attraction to) Amy then shows her true villainous colors (albeit subtly and unknown to Christine and her parents at first) by drugging Christine's wine. The next morning and a changed look of Amy she made breakfast for the family and furthered her attractions with Charles. Later on in the same day, Amy returns to the college to murder Allen's girlfriend Marilyn by going to her dorm room as Marilyn was packing up for departure by bashing her head with a wine bottle she picked up from the Roberts' house and hid her body in her college dorm bed. After that, and sabotaging Anna's real estate work, Amy once again drugged Christine and left her for sickness by leaving the window open, she then puts on a pink lingerie and goes to the living room to share wine with Charles in an attempt to seduce him, which Charles was originally oblivious to her seduction and flirtation attempts.

At work, Charles was confronted by the detectives investigating Amy's crimes at work, and they informed him on how dangerous Amy truly was. Meanwhile, at the Roberts' house, Amy was lecturing Anna on how she finally found "love" with Charles and deserved to give her a lethal injection. Before she carried it out, she was interrupted when Christine called for her from her bedroom. Amy then took Christine out of her bed, first saying she was taking her to the hospital before revealing her true self. She and Christine got in a brief fight before Amy forcibly dragged Christine in the kitchen, she then goes on a diatribe about how Christine and her family are "ungrateful" and that she had nothing. She then knocked Christine out with a frying pan and places her face on an open and running stove to die of carbon monoxide, but soon failed when Christine barley regained conscious. As Amy was about to kill Christine with a knife, Anna ran out from the hallway and injected her with the syringe Amy accidentally left in her room.
Amy then pushes Anna to the floor and prepares to finish them off just as Charles and the detectives arrive and tell her to stand down.The deadly psychotic girl apologizes to Charles before she collapses to the floor, having given in to the drug's deadly effects.
