Crossbow! Gotta love it. Feels like I'm storming a castle.
―Molly[src]

Molly was a Potential Slayer who sought refuge with the Scooby Gang during the First Evil's attack against the Slayer line in 2002.[1] She was killed by Caleb during an infiltration at the Shadow Valley Vineyards.[2]

Biography[]

Along with Kennedy and Annabelle, Molly was one of the three Potentials who first arrived in Sunnydale with Rupert Giles. She began telling the Scoobies about what she had heard about the Harbingers of Death despite never seeing one, but Annabelle shushed her not to interrupt Giles. Molly then asked for biscuits to calm her nerves after Giles' lecture.[1]

With the growing number of Potential housed in the Summers residence, Molly inadvertently confused them using British slang.[3] When Giles took the Potentials for a Vision Quest, Molly and Rona fought over who should drive first, but Rona won by locking Molly in the car's trunk.[4]

When the Potentials were locked inside a crypt with a vampire as a training routine, Molly was the one to slay the vampire, making her the first Potential in Buffy's growing army to do so. While everyone was picking weapons, Molly revealed that her favorite weapon was the crossbow because it made her feel like she was "storming a castle."[5]

During the climactic battle in the vineyard, Caleb stabbed Molly with her own knife, immediately after the death of her fellow Potential Slayer Dianne.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • She was portrayed by Clara Bryant.
  • In the shooting script of "Bring on the Night," Molly is stated to be British of East Indian heritage, of either 14 or 15 years of age, "cute" and "pudgy." When Clara Bryant was cast the character was altered, apparently becoming working-class Londoner. Her style was also described as "very Ghost World. Pigtails and a miniskirt, ripped stockings, a lunch box for a purse..."[6]
