grace holds her fake seances mostly as a scheme to further her own singing career, since she wasn't getting anywhere on her own and, like, you gotta have a gimmick.
penny absolutely ~> weird love-hate situationship that grace chooses not to think too deeply about. thinks penny is sort of gross and uncouth but also kind of hot, but also stop tracking gravedirt into my parlor miss absolutely, i'm trying to get ready for this seance, they're paying me a hundred dollars in 1900s money to conjure the ghost of ben franklin, have you no manners at all, etc. penny is super aware of the scam grace is running, and grace is aware of penny's scam, so there's a sort of mutually assured destruction situation going on there.
