But as Winter Lady, Molly is now in a position to compel Harry to do the "deed" (at least when he's under the influence of Winter). Given how she feels it will be interesting to see how she grapples with having that option.

It is worst than that. Other than the fact she can now compel Harry, I bet the winter lady mantle will jack up her sexual drive to eleven and with Harry also under the influence of winter knight powers....
If anything happens between those two, Murphy will not be happy.
Not to mention Molly becoming the winter lady effectively eliminates any hope Harry ever escape the winter knight job. Even if he can find a way to remove the knight mantle without dying, he could not just leave Molly alone. It would be Lily all over again.
It's a mess.

Maeve was in control of her sexual drive. She used it as a weapon and as a distraction. That might have been because she fed it enough like Lara though. See Larissa's comments to Maeve at the end when they confronted each other.

I think she might be more understanding than Harry himself.

Molly is smarter, more informed and more supported than Lilly. She has a lot of experience in resisting temptations of all sorts like black magic and white court. She has more life experience than Lilly had and she has survived difficult circumstances and great trauma.
She is able to act on her own. She has learned a lot of things we do not know about. She is prepared. Lilly's only experience has been being a victim.
And that points to the biggest danger. It is not becoming Lilly, it is becoming Mab, or what Mab thinks a winter lady should be.

Exactly as it should be in the dresdenverse ;D

Jim Butcher really has a way of making you feel like he is about to answer a whole lot of questions, only to have you asking more questions by the end of the book.
While reading the last chapter on my kindle I accidentally skipped ahead a few pages and all I saw was the "No... Molly... No" or whatever it was and I was starting to worry about what was going to happen to her and as soon as they started talking about passing mantles I started to panic. That twist really punched me in the gut. Jim Butcher can just never makes things easy for poor Molly.
Mr. Death:
Yeah, that whole last sequence just about put me into a state of shock. Reading Lily's death scene was one of those things where I read it, stopped, then read it over again, hoping and praying that I had read it wrong, or missed something. And then Molly...And right after the whole book shows her as getting her life back together into something approaching normal, too.

Seeing how Michael and Charity deal with this is going to be interesting.
