Molly’s soulgaze in PG

But it's far from how Harry saw the young warlock at the opening of Proven Guilty.  He may have been insane, but he was still human.

Good point. On the other hand, I'm reluctant to say that any of the images represent something coming in and displacing Molly. It's not actually a vision of the future, after all; it's a soulgaze. By definition, everything Harry sees in it must be a part of Molly.

The text goes out of its way to point out that Molly is no longer human, especially in the eyes which are mentioned as being reptilian - something I associate with the Fomor or Outsiders.

It could be that her being a warlock allowed a dark magic taint to manifest, eventually leading her to get Nfected or ally with the Fomor (perhaps take one of their mantles).

@g33k
Completely agree

@nadia
Thanks! Agreed that everything Harry sees is inside Molly - perhaps she has a desire to see the world/ her enemies burn. We kinda see it in GS when she’s in her Rag Lady persona.

Avernite:
I suspect what Harry saw as 'the Warlock' or 'the Fomor/outsider' (explicitly also mentioned as her being a person of power) is a Warlock free and at large and skilled, rather than the mad mess that was the kid executed at the start of PG.

It would take lots of chipping to chip away Molly's humanity but it IS possible for a Warlock who keeps remodelling people's minds, I'd tink. And Fomor would, IMO, make her eyes fishy, not reptilian.

HighLife:

--- Quote ---Molly 5: working at a desk. Unlike the other futures, this is the only one where Molly seems to be less action-oriented. In this future, she is following her fear by not engaging with the evils of the world head on (or at all if she has given up magic)

Here's a thought, what if Molly 5 is working for the agency that Harry worked for in Ghost Story? Maybe working with Karrin's dad?

That'd be Molly dead, though.  I don;t think the soulgaze would have showed anything post-death.

OTOH, there could be a parallel/comparable organization that does such things with the living, and Molly could well join it.
