History Series / GraceAndFrankie

* GoodIsNotNice: Grace gets intimidated by Grandma Jean, Mallory's kids' other grandma, who's much better at playing with them, can talk to them on their own level and who, unlike Grace knows better than to pretend to be a clown (because of Mallory's son Macklin's coulrophobia.) Then Frankie points out to her that she's not that kind of grandma: she's the "kind with a drinking problem that inspires them to grow up and become writers." This pays off when Grace realises that Macklin regards her as wise and knowledgeable rather than fun.
