Summoning Molly
Arjan:
She won't do that to her sister especially because she did not even tell her parents. It is also not practical because a useful handmaiden needs to be a power on her own.

Agreed on both counts. She wouldnt want to pull any of her family so far in to the Court that they actually became Fae, and tactically wouldnt make sense in terms of building a power base. So far the closest thing to a Handmaiden is that Harry seems to have tacitly turned Lacuna over to Molly.

A. your assuming she's gonna do anything willfully
B. how do you know she doesn't.... Molly proved the fae heritage in her bloodline, Molly, as WL, has been spending time around her family like it's just her family, with her sisters, acting like everything is the same. But the dynamic of what she is is entirely different. And exposure to the fae has consequences. What I describe is perfectly correct, regardless of intention. If Molly suddenly learned to feed on latent adoration or other belief powers latent in the world, can you say her sister would not be a primary boost right at this very moment?

GodDAMMIT!!! That makes sense. A lot of Sense. Fuck, those poor kids.
Hmmm, any way out of this? Could Michael's "Retirement Package" keep it at bay at least as long as they are Minors living with him? Molly would technically qualify as one of those non-human things they can interfere with, no? Or is it possible that the simple fact that she is spending time with them as family, as opposed to magical training with general Fae mindset and Tactics like lea did, could make the difference. The argument could be made that they would be making her more Human, rather than her having a Fae influence on them. Would depend on how much like her old self she's able to be around them; too much subconscious Faeness might be enough, especially since she's most likely been Invited in since CD.
Talby16:
I think it also has to do with the hierarchy and perception of the "proper order of things." A lesser power being should not summon a higher powered one in the same hierarchy. The lesser powered being goes to the higher powered being. It is a demonstration of deference and respect. The situation with Mab on DR was a special case. I do not think Mab would take kindly to a Knight summoning her, the Lady, or the Mother on a regular basis as it undermines their authority. You don't summon a more powerful being without consequences (now or later).
The nature of the summoning must also be taken into consideration. We saw Harry summon Toot Toot with just an offering and a whisper. That is very mild and not likely to cause concern. Whereas summoning involving a ring and ritual is more serious. A summoning on DR as others have mentioned is tantamount to holding a loaded gun on someone.
