If s/he were to do “something else” then the state could recall the delegate and revoke his/her delegated powers OR could simply not vote to confirm whatever mess this “runaway convention” came up with.
Have you ever heard of Michael Farris?
But there is no enumerated constitutional basis to limit the scope of an Article V convention once called, even if the individual state petitions state such limited scope under threat of withdrawing their petition if subjects other than the enumerated ones are considered. Saying it doesn't necessarily make it so.
Once such an Article V convention was called, all hell could break loose by Blue states proposing all sorts of nonsense that per the constitution would have to be considered by all of the states without sunset.
Look man, there is no provision that Congress cannot attempt to rewrite the Constitution either. That is such a specious argument that I am having difficulty understanding why you would bring it up.
Are you saying that the founding fathers made a mistake by putting Article V in there? It is what it sounds like to me.

You really have no idea what the rules of a convention are nor who controls them. I am glad that minor drawback doesn’t prevent you from having fun commenting. Carry on.
