When Kevin spots him he lures the pair to the bathroom and turns on the water taps, which causes the place to flood and swept the pair away and down the stairs. When Natalie and her boyfriend Peter go away for the day and Molly goes out, Vera and Marv go to break in to check out the house, unaware that Peter's son Kevin - who is Marv's recurring adversary - is occupying the house. Vera assumed they would carry out burglaries together, but Marv opted out of his type of crime due to his failed attempts with Harry and instead came up with a plan to kidnap the Prince who was visiting the mansion of Natalie, whom his mother Molly works at undercover. He married Vera and she became his new partner in crime, replacing his former partner and friend Harry Lime. Like her husband, Vera has a criminal background and had met Marv Merchants after his release from prison. She was portrayed by Missi Pyle, who also portrayed Ashley Sanderson in Bringing Down the House, Shelly Stoker in My Name Is Earl, Nadia Vole in Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, Gail Van Ravensway in A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, the Merch Owner in I Kissed a Girl, Sally Marnes in Traffik and Cythonna in Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse. She speaks with a Brooklyn accent, although the films are set in Chicago. Vera Murchins is the secondary antagonist of Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House and is the wife of Marv (one of the main villains of the original two Home Alone films).
