Overview

Molly is a violent and brutal, but also somewhat humorous, woman. Due to her smoking habits and cancer, she is well aware that she probably will die soon, but keeps a jovial attitude about it. She even laughs when she is advised to stop smoking despite it causing her to cough out tons of blood. She generally gets along with her fellow Saviors, though they sometimes have to keep her in line. She has a condescending attitude towards Maggie, and more specifically, Carol whom she sees as weak. Despite her old age and condition, she is shown to be able to hold her own against walkers. After she is bitten by a zombified Donnie, she loses it and looks to kill Maggie and Carol before Maggie knocks her down and bashes her head in.

Pre-Apocalypse

Texas, United States

Nothing is known about Molly's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she lived in Texas.

Post-Apocalypse

Virginia/Washington, D.C., United States

At some point in the apocalypse, Molly somehow came into contact with a group named the "Saviors", which she subsequently joined.

Molly aided her group in terrorizing other survivors and communities around the area into submitting to Negan's will, where their victims would be forced to give half their supplies in exchange for not being murdered.

Season 6

"The Same Boat"

Having escaped from the Satellite Outpost, Molly is among the Saviors to capture Maggie and Carol in the woods. The next morning, they bring the women to a safehouse and tie them up, waiting for reinforcements to arrive in order to prepare for a potential exchange to save Primo from Rick. As Carol is tied up, Molly taunts her for hyperventilating and scoffs at Carol when she says she shouldn't smoke near Maggie because of the baby.

Later that day, Molly and Paula question Carol over her group's motives in their unprovoked attack on the compound. Carol answers that they had previously been attacked by a few of their people, to which Molly realizes that they had encountered and killed Timmy's group, although she snidely comments that they deserved what had happened to them.

While securing the safehouse for their reinforcements, Molly returns to the room where Donnie is unconscious to check on him, only to be surprised and bitten by a zombified Donnie. She manages to kill him and then looks around for Maggie and Carol, when suddenly Maggie bursts into the room and bludgeons her to death with her own pistol.
