What Role was Molly being prepared for?

Or do you mean that Mab had planned to replace both Ladies? First Maeve by Sarissa and some time after that Lily by Molly? Because Lily wasn't doing so well? Wouldn't this be more Titania's decision?
Can the Winter Knight even be a woman? Has the Lady always to be female?

I got the impression that Mab did want Lily replaced at some point and wanted Molly in that role. She wanted Sarissa for Winter Lady but I don't think she had her convinced yet to take that role. Which then brings up the question since she needed for Maeve to die, what exactly did she have planned? Was she going to leave the Winter Lady role empty until Sarissa was ready? Just what would she have done about Lily if Maeve hadn't killed her? Because no way could she have ordered Harry to do it, because she'd then run into the same problems that happened when she was accused of ordering or killing the Summer Knight back in Summer Knight, it would have meant war.

The war was to address the imbalance because someone stole the Mantle of Summer Knight. Would there have been a war regardless? Maybe, but I don't think so. I can't remember where, but there is a line that most Knights are taken out by their counterpart.
Mab said that Molly was better suited to Summer. Mab usually doesn't do something with one plan in mind. She sets things up so that if she loses, she still wins.

There was a whole book about the Summer Knight being a woman, so I assume the Winter Knight could be too, yes.

You mean Lily? I remember a discussion not long ago. I'm not sure she really was the Knight. Imho the Mantle might have been temporarily stored in her body. Why didn't they let her remain the Knight? I can't remember exactly how it was.
Instead she became the Lady and Fix became the Knight.
Aurora got killed and than...? That was while Lily was still a statue? Where did the Lady Mantle go to in the meanwhile? The Unraveling turned Lily back. What happened to the Knight's Mantle? Didn't it go back to Mab or Titania? Did it do so, because the Queen(s) wanted it to or because Lily wasn't the right person anyway (i.e. female) and her turning to stone prevented the Mantle from leaving before? So Lily was free to receive the Lady Mantle.
Or did Mab actively call the Knight Mantle to her (or was it to Titania???) because they preferred a more suitable host regardless of the gender?

Yes, I think there would have been war or other serious repercussions for Mab, that is why she wanted so badly for Harry to clear her of the crime.
