—Grace to Chanel Oberlin about the new Kappa pledges during Hell Week[src]

Grace Gardner was a main character on Season One of Scream Queens. She was a student at Wallace University and a pledge of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority before becoming the vice president of Kappa to her best friend Zayday Williams, who served as president in 2016. However, her council position was short lived, as she was driven to insanity due to her traumatic experiences at Wallace, and was later admitted to Stanford Mental Asylum.

She is portrayed by Skyler Samuels.

He made Grace a playlist with all her favorite songs, including A Thousand Years, while her father reminiscences the past when he took her to see her first PG-13 movie, Twilight. He also tells her not to join a sorority because of their harsh reputations and hazing rituals, but Grace says it'll be okay. After saying goodbye in the dormitory, Wes walks out, crying. Grace is then introduced to her new roommate, Zayday Williams, and they go to the cafeteria where Grace explains that her mother died when she was two and it's just been her and her father ever since. She also asks Zayday to join Kappa Kappa Tau with her, however Zayday declines, but Grace sweetens the deal by saying that if she becomes KKT president then it can mean she will become even more successful, and will set her off into the world of politics.

Grace then attends the Kappa rush party, but is encountered by the Red Devil, whom she tries to follow before she/he disappears.

Grace walks out of the room, about to go to the police, however Chanel manages to buy everyone else's silence (except Zayday) and says she will pin the blame on Grace if she ever goes to the police. The Chanels and the pledges then take the body to a storage freezer, where Chanel swears the pledges to secrecy.

In Pete's room, Grace tells him what Chanel told her, and Pete, shirtless and in underwear, shows her some names that he found in a secret archive of Cathy's office. Grace starts to feel uncomfortable and opens his closet to give him some clothes. What she finds in the closet is the Red Devil costume and Grace freaks out. She asks him why he has that costume with him, and, since the Red Devil costume is the school mascot, Pete tells her that he is the mascot of the football games. Grace asks him how old he is and he tells her that he will turn 20 next month. Scared, Grace leaves the room because that's the exact same year that the baby of the girl who have birth in the bath tub would be. Subsequently, Gigi notices that there's a mysterious car outside the Kappa house and Grace clarifies that it's just her father who wants to keep an eye on her.

Grace in Cathy's office

Grace is held up in Cathy's office while discussing about the baby. Grace becomes shocked upon finding out that Gigi has gotten engaged to her father. She confronts Gigi and tells her to stay away from him.

Grace slaps Chanel

Later on, Chanel tells her more information about the party in 1995, including the identity of her mother. At that party, Bethany Stevens hooked up with Wes, who knocked her up shortly after; Bethany was Grace's mother. She had also died in a car accident when Grace was a baby. Chanel goes on to tell Grace about what a slut Bethany was, and Grace slaps her and walks away.

She goes to Wes, who admits to lying to her, but insists it was only to protect her. Grace gets mad again and storms out. Later, after being threatened by Denise, Chanel apologizes to Grace, who although she does not trust her, bonds with her over their mother issues. Grace points out that, while Chanel has a point, she is continuing the pattern her mother taught her and that her intention was to destroy Grace instead of making her life better.

Ghost Stories[]

Zayday enters Grace's room and asks her why she has not finishing packing. She says that she wants to stay and Zayday mentions her dad. Grace replies, "To hell with my dad" and continues by saying that he lied to her about the most important thing; who she is and where she came from. She also says she would rather stay at Kappa house than spend Thanksgiving with him and Gigi.

After Earl's death, Grace and Zayday are with Cathy and Detective Chisolm talking about Boone faking his death and how he is responsible for the murders. Chisolm asks Grace and Zayday to describe Boone to a sketch artist so that they can give a drawing of him to the news, but they both get mad and explain that they already have numerous photos of him. Chisolm then states that he believes Boone's really a ghost and brings a paranormal investigator with him. Grace and Zayday angrily storm out and Zayday says to Cathy that her blood is on her hands.

Thanksgiving[]

As Cathy has Thanksgiving dinner with Grace, Zayday, Wes, Pete, Chanel 3 and Chanel 5, they begin to argue over who they think the killer is. Cathy thinks it's Chanel 3, while Chanel 3 thinks it's Cathy. Wes starts to think it's Grace, but Grace provides evidence as to why she could not be and why she suspects it's Chanel.

Pete tells a story he has compiled of evidence he has dug up, claiming Wes is the killer. Pete reveals that he discovered that Wes, having bribed a government official with a bag of weed to escape prosecution, was Boone's father, and thus, the father of the other bathtub baby. Grace looks at him somewhat disappointed.

Wes talks to Grace alone and tells her that he did not know he had knocked up Sophia. After the two make up, Zayday calls them over for dinner. Chanel and Hester arrive, as does Chad soon afterwards. He and Chanel make up as well, and Chanels 3 and 5 go retrieve the turkey. As Chanel Oberlin uncovers the turkey they are eating tonight, everyone begins screaming in horror as it's revealed that instead of holding the turkey, the platter is holding Gigi's severed head.

Black Friday[]

Grace and Chanel, suspecting that Dean Munsch is the killer, try to poison Dean Munsch with apple cider that they poured blowfish venom in. Dean Munsch drinks it all, but survives and does not even feel any ill effects.

Pete tries to get Grace to have sex with him, but she refuses and says she is not ready. However, at the end of the episode, she tells Pete she is ready to do it with him, but he refuses and says he does not want her first time to be with a murderer, which hints at the fact that Pete could be the Red Devil.

Dorkus[]

Pete confesses to Grace that he actually killed Roger, Boone, and the mall cop, and he attempted to kill Chanel but was not able to due to the mask he was wearing obscuring his eyesight. He also claims to lack any skills when using a crossbow, thus shooting Chanel's shoulder rather than a fatal target. Grace yells at him, disgusted by his actions. Pete tries to justify what he did was all to protect Grace and to bring the conspiracy to justice. Just as he is about to reveal the other baby, the Red Devil jumps out of the closet behind them and fatally stabs Pete. Furious, Grace attacks the Red Devil and seems to have the upper hand at first. The Red Devil manages to overpower Grace and knock her to the floor. She looks to Pete's corpse, seeing that he died looking at her. She is then knocked unconscious.

After waking up, she goes to her father to get his help to subdue Dean Munsch so that she can get to the student records. She asks that he seduce her, so as to buy as much time as possible.

She and Zayday later track down the identity of the Red Devil in Dean Munsch's student records. They look through the files of the Chanel's and find one record with clearly falsified information. Quickly, they realize the other girls may be in danger and run to find them. Grace and Zayday burst in on Chanel and Chanel 3 about to kill Melanie Dorkus (of whom Chanel believed to be the Red Devil.) They tell Chanel that it cannot be Melanie because they discovered it to be Hester.

Upon getting back to the Kappa house Grace grabs and spatula as a weapon and the girls retreat upstairs to find the others. After hearing screaming, then run to find Hester on the ground with a stiletto sticking out of her eye. She awakes to point out Chanel #5 as the Red Devil.

The Final Girl(s)[]

In January of 2016, a month later, we are shown Grace has survived the killings and is now Vice President of Kappa Kappa Tau. They are having a winter rush due to the events of the previous semester killing or getting rid of most of the pledges. She states that it is now written in the bylaws of the sorority that all girls seeking to pledge Kappa may join.

In flashback to December, Grace does not initially believe Hester, who dramatically claims it is Chanel 5. After Hester brings a large amount of (clearly false) evidence accounting of how Libby is the bathtub baby, and that Chanel 3 and Chanel helped her in the killings, Grace believes Hester's claim that her falsified records were just to cover up her life so that she could be liked.

In May of 2016 Grace has set up a helpline for girls who get pregnant so as not to have the same incident which caused all the events to happen again. Although the hotline is unsuccessful, her father claims that it was the amount of valiant effort that went into all of her actions that would cause real change in the sorority. He also agrees to give her some space and leaves his teaching position at the university to run off with Cathy.

Grace is last seen polishing the monument erected in honor of the dead students. She leaves with Zayday saying they need to get ready for a night of the girls eating and talking about all their problems and feelings.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel[]

After Wes visits C.U.R.E. to get a hairball removed from his stomach, he reminisces about his time spent with Cathy and describes their relationship to the doctors. He explains that Cathy's intentions were to put a wedge between him and Grace, and a photo of Grace is seen in a flashback as she was trying to call her father, but Cathy quickly declined the call and blocked her number. He also reveals that because of Cathy, he was distanced from Grace and ended up not seeing her for over a year. He does, however, clarify that Grace is doing well, as she recently went to Stanford to work on her master's degree, and he also scolds the Chanels for not being even remotely concerned about how Grace is doing.

In the final moments of the episode, Wes reveals that Grace was not in fact at Stanford University, but rather Stanford Mental Asylum, after losing her sanity following her traumatizing experience at Kappa Kappa Tau. He explains that she seemed fine at first and was on the right track to greatness, but that the hazing and murders finally took a toll on her, causing her to stop sharing all the boring details of her life with him. She just wasn't the same person, and even sided with Katy Perry in the Katy vs. Taylor Swift feud, and refused to wear any of the hats that Wes would buy her, no matter how cute or whimsical they were, all because of the Chanels. He expresses his anger that the Chanels are working at a hospital and get to become doctors while Grace is locked up in a mental institution because of what they did to her. In turn, this caused Wes to become a Green Meanie copy-cat killer, hoping to exact his revenge on the Chanels for their mistreatment of Grace.

Lovin the D[]

Hester decides to call a Green Meanie summit, inviting Ingrid, Cassidy, and Wes to come together to discuss the past and future plans for murder. During a game of "Who Killed Who?", Wes reveals that he killed Sheila Baumgartner because he became increasingly enraged after having just visited Grace at the asylum. He also explains that he ran away without hurting Zayday because he knew Zayday used to be Grace's best friend.

Hester then initiates a game of "Who Gets to Kill the Chanels?" and explains that the remaining murders will be fairly divvied up between the killers. Wes fights for the opportunity to kill Chanel, arguing that she was responsible for Grace's insanity, but Ingrid insists she deserves it more, considering Chanel burnt her sister's face off. Hester agrees, admitting that Grace, although insane, is still alive with her face perfectly intact, so ultimately Ingrid is awarded the ability to kill Chanel, much to Wes' dismay.

Profile[]

Justify or not, you're not a killer! You're a rare breed, one of the true good guys.
Pete Martinez to Grace[src]
Grace slaps Chanel

Grace slapping Chanel after learning the truth about her mother

Grace is intelligent, investigative and strongly independent. Throughout her life, Grace has lived with her father Wes, who she treats as her best friend that she can never let go because they both are the only close family they've got left. Grace's mother committed suicide when Grace was very young, and has left Wes to be confused and upset and having to lie to Grace telling her that her mother died in a fire. Ever since then, Grace gained an agenda to find out who her mom really was and learn more about her, and Grace's primary source is Kappa Kappa Tau, a rich mean sorority in Wallace University that her mother pledged in.

Even though Grace is still highly independent, when it comes to separating herself from her father, Grace gets a little upset and has to count to three to stop hugging him and walk away. When Wes drives Grace to the university, they both had to do just that, but it motivated Grace and made her realise that for now on, she will have to live her own life and stay strong and not give in to her emotions. Even though Grace loves her father very much, Grace certainly does have a limit and sometimes can feel a little bit too smothered and overprotected by him, which leaves her kind of annoyed and embarrassed, but understandable as she does the same for him, especially when it comes to his new girlfriends like Gigi.

Grace is also very intelligent, she knows who to be friends with and who to not be friends with as shown when she first meets Zayday, the two instantly became best friends and pledged Kappa together, and when she met Pete she knew something was up but accepted him later on and the two became a couple, but when Grace first met Chanel, the president of Kappa, Grace knew she was going to be a problem. Grace's intelligence also comes into her investigative nature as she is able to figure out the clues and puzzles of the murders caused by Red Devil, along side Pete who is like her sidekick. When Grace tries to solve the murders, she looks through every detail and suspects almost every important person involved with the murders on campus.

Although she may seem harmless and approachable, Grace can get very mean and tough if she wants to, like the time she slapped Chanel across the face because of being tormented that she is not the baby but is actually the daughter of Bethany Stevens, who was the Chanel of Kappa in 1995, and when Grace attempted to poison Dean Munsch because of her belief that the Dean was to do with all the murders.

But Grace is always willing to do the right thing and make the right choices and will always be determined to get answers, even if it means putting herself into severe danger or having to physically fight the Red Devil on her own. She believes people can eventually change for the good and she will never let anyone drag her confidence down, and will always continue to try to make Kappa a better place.

Grace usually wears cool, eclectic clothes that give her an almost '70s vibe. Her style usually includes colored berets and sweaters or coats. Many of her clothes are from Urban Outfitters, Madewell, and Forever 21.

Both seem to be the only members that realize that something strange is going on at Wallace University and want to know what it is.

Chanel and Grace

Grace and Chanel Oberlin first meet at the Kappa Kappa Tau party in Pilot, but their rivalry officially starts after Chanel accidentally kills Ms. Bean and Grace wants to tell the police. Chanel blackmails most of the Kappa sisters to say that Grace was the one who killed her if she says to the police what happened. Their enmity continues when Grace stands up the new KKT pledges, but Chanel tries to make peace by inviting her to be the sixth member of her minions, but Grace declines and their rivalry continues.

Mary Mulligan is Grace's mother, who would treat Grace awfully. While drunk, she would put Grace on her lap and drive her around. Luckily for Grace, Wes sued for custody of her in 1996 and ended up winning.
