that grace keeps her deception up even after she and tommy have their union is both fascinating and frustrating because she doesn't really seem to dwell on it too much, but i'm not quite sure the intention really was to write her as being this ruthless either. she never really seems to contemplate these contradictions; it invites to think of her as very compartmentalized but the show really never goes there*either*

#and imho i think it's not a stretch to like. draw a line from this to sr deceiving arthur #not in the same way and not to the same result but like. it happens in the same episode; it's a parallel plot #this isn't anything against grace lol i just find her character so uniquely frustrating #she doesn't come across as an ideologue; her revenge quest is personal; yet she sets freddie up #despite knowing he doesn't have the guns AND despite being friendly with ada #this was a choice borne of conviction and imho it's the thing that isolates tommy from the family because they blame him for it #and it leads right into this; tommy goes with grace because his family hates him (according to himself)#tg is just. such weak part of the show even in s1 #this isn't to condemn her like. there's nothing to condemn she's such a nothingburger character the more you think of it
