Justine's infection was probably either from when she was a prisoner at Bianca's, or from someone in the white court. I'm not sure what motive there would be to infect someone they were intending for Susan to kill to complete her transformation ... so, perhaps Mab is playing the odds and throwing a grenade into the nest to flush out the other Nemfected who turned Justine.

Perhaps it was Lord Raith who saw to it that she was infected. If I remember correctly he was behind her being "food" for Thomas, maybe to eventually kill him. Speaking of Bianca, interesting that both Susan and Justine were her prisoner, the Reds half turned Susan, but not Justine, nor did they eat her.. Could she already have been infected thus protected by HWWB?

This is true but there may be another reason. Molly even without the Winter Mantle could live for centuries, just like Harry. Murphy, even if reaching her 80's would still leave Molly, and Harry young as wizards. So Molly could let Harry, and Murphy have a happy relationship, and then be there for Harry when Murphy was gone. Not the case with Lara. Not sure if this is why she's mad, but it would make some sense.
On the other hand she may be aware that Mab is using Lara's sex to fire up the Winter Mantle that Harry always pushes away. Molly knows it's another way for Mab to get Harry to accept the Mantle.

🤔😳 in that case she was supposed to die to Thomas though, which the only logical reasoning for that is if it'd have had made Thomas the new host. I've wondered if Thomas wasn't targeted at other times too.. like what shagnasty did to him, and the possibility it now never happened.(time shenanigans!)
On the Lara vs Molly thing.. I kinda think Mabs intentionally pushing that button knowing something will happen. Early on it appears the lady and knight work closely together, but Harry and Molly haven't really done that. I suspect the knight and lady play a different role to each other and Mabs throwing in a bit of chaos to see what comes of it.
** Wait, wait... This is Mab we're talking about. She's doing at LEAST three of these things at once.

I totally doubt that Mab is throwing a bit of chaos to see what comes of it. For this reason if no other, she knows that they are close to the BAT, she knows what Harry is, the last thing she'd want to do is jeopardize the defense of the Gates and the defense of the world she is charged with.
