One event in the story that I think caused the story to end the way it did was Bailey allowing the grandmother to get her way to see the house. The whole time in the story, Bailey did not give the grandmother her way. She wanted to go to Tennessee, but they didn’t. Although, the cat, Pitty Sing, went on the trip to Georgia Bailey never allowed it. The grandmother wanted Bailey to have a different wife because she did not like the way she dressed and the way she did things. The only time the grandmother really got her way was when Bailey finally said yes to taking her to the old house she wanted to see. As a result, they wrecked and ended up meeting The Misfit. In conclusion, if Bailey would have said no like he did about everything else, they would have never died.
