Jean and her sister talk about their mother abandoning them once they got their powers. Jean even tries to rationalize it as what else could her mother do.
Jean and Peter are also both living lives of isolation. Jean only had her sister so it doesn’t take much for her to turn antagonistic. Peter had a stronger foundation, but even he starts to slip, he throws Scorpion into a police car and nearly kills the officer inside.
Peter is able to find his way back because he finally reaches out and interacts with MJ and Ned. He has a friend. That’s all Jean needed. Jean needed someone, she needed a friend.
When Jean sees Peter’s memory she sees the kindness she’s been missing. She tries to dismiss it as just a memory, but Peter says he’ll be her friend. Jean wants to be a good person, but if everyone treats you as a monster, you act like a monster.
