Unfortunately for fans, Grace met her demise in the double premiere episodes of Bad Sisters season 2.

She died in a car accident after fleeing the home that she shares with her second husband Ian. Earlier, she confessed to him that she killed her previous husband John Paul.

The cops appeared in Eva's house with Blanaid to inform the unfortunate passing of their sister. While it is not directly confirmed that Grace has indeed passed (they didn't show her corpse after all), signs indicate that it is the case.

Grace has been a fan-favorite character from the beginning of the series due to her heartbreaking arc throughout the series' run, and it felt like season 2 would give her a brighter direction.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Grace's journey in the series ended with a tragedy and it is interesting to see how it all plays out in the second season as the sisters have to deal with the grief.

Star/Showrunner Sharon Horgan Explains Decision to Kill off Grace

In a recent interview, Bad Sisters star and co-showrunner Sharon Horgan explained their decision to kill off Grace in the double premiere episodes of Bad Sisters season 2.

She shared that it was all part of their plan and her death is set up to be the main mystery for the sisters this season.

"As much as I love the end of the first season, it was a fairytale kind of end jumping into the sea and everything’s going to be okay. And unfortunately, quite often it’s not. And it gives the sisters something to [do this season]; they’ve got to find out what happened to her," she said.

"And for the audience, it’s finding out what really happened that night. We hold back so much, and we retain secrets and it’s as tricky a decision as it was, it was the right thing for the story."

For now, fans should watch the rest of the season to see how the story unfolds and whether Grace's death is permanent. After all, some may argue that they could reveal next week that she is still alive.
