Peyton then rigs the green house to shatter its glass roof onto Claire Bartel the next time she enters it. However, when Marlene Craven shows up knowing the truth about Peyton, Marlene is lured into Peyton's makeshift death trap instead. Peyton then empties all the medication from all of Claire Bartel's inhalers, so when Claire discovers Marlene's body in the greenhouse she suffers a near fatal asthma attack. Eventually Peyton's past is uncovered, so our nanny from hell decides to kill the Bartels bar Emma and baby Joe who shall substitute for own deceased offspring. Michael has a shovel taken too his legs (after being hit in the face) immobilizing him. After overpowering Claire (who suffers another coughing fit), Peyton corners Emma and Joe hiding in the attic. Her truimph is cut short when Solomon shows up and together with Claire pushes Peyton out of a window who falls to her messy pointy demise on the fence spikes far below. The Bartels have a renewed trust in Solomon and he is welcomed back to the family.

Answer: The same way any common criminal gets in to a house, she "broke" in by either kicking the door, or smashing a window, etc. A locked door is not that hard an obstacle to overcome.
