Grace grew up in a violent, unstable environment as her mother/father were violent alcoholics, which makes it difficult to express and show her emotions. However, her parents died in a car accident when she was 14 year's old. JJ has supported Grace unconditionally ever since then. She has known JJ, Kiara, John B, Pope since kindergarten and is still good friends with them today. Sarah, John B's girlfriend, and Cleo, Pope's girlfriend, also joined them. Grace is JJ's closest friend; he stays by her side even in the most dangerous moments/he doesn't joke around about to protect her. Grace is often the one who balances out his impulsive behavior and she supports him emotionally, especially when he is struggling with his own family trauma. They form a dynamic duo based on mutual respect and often humorous interaction.
The motorcycle race came because the Friendgroup were in financial trouble. After spending a lot of their money on buying land, a storm hits their new base (Poguelandia) hard, drastically reducing their income. In order to save the financial situation, JJ decides to make a risky bet on his victory by a motorcycle race to use the prize money to make up for the losses, he use's the last remaining funds. The race is dramatic especially since he loses it, which only makes the situation worse. However, we would have just returned to our base and committed this incident.
Pope - "I said it again and again. I said don't touch the last of our nugget, that was it. That was the last of our saving's, do you not care?"
JJ - "Pope, you saw what happened, man. He stole it, okay? He cheated and he stole it, that's not my fault."
Pope - He raised his voice a bit, clearly mad "Do you know how selfish your sound?"
JJ - He raised his voice "I sound selfish? I was trying to help us."
Pope - Sarcastic "You helped us. You just cost us everything, Thank you."
John b, and the others was about to say something, also mad.
Grace - she asked jj "Why are you making it sound, like you had nothing to do with it?"
