Red Sammy is the owner of "Red Sammy's Famous BBQ," the restaurant where the grandmother, her son, Bailey, grandson John Wesley, and her granddaughter June Star, stop for lunch on their way to Florida.
While waiting for their lunch, the grandmother has a conversation with Red Sammy and his wife. The two discuss their distrust of people in general, how much things have changed since they were young, and how, as Sammy says, "A good man is hard to find. Everything is getting terrible. I remember the day you could go off and leave your screen door unlatched. Not no more."
In addition to bemoaning the loss of the old days, Sammy's wife brings up the story about the dangerous "Misfit" who has escaped the Federal Penitentiary, the same account which begins O'Connor's story. Later, after the car accident, it is the "Misfit" they encounter, whom they believe has stopped to render aid. Still wanting to believe that there was "a good man" in all men, the grandmother pleads with the Misfit to reclaim the good in him, to no avail. She and her family are murdered.
