Ok lots of things could, but you get the point.

It has never been a happy one, Molly has a purpose now, but is she happy with her job?

Basil:
Interesting thought.

Happier than she ever has been. If Mab dies at the right moment she can have children as well.   :)

But really it is difficult to say. Finding her purpose is what made Gard a happy girl but it must be a purpose that fits with you, Maeve was a very unhappy girl, it was never her purpose.

I am suspicious about that loosing your soul thing, it might be a very human-centric way of interpreting what is happening. Molly feels the importance of what she is doing, it is not a so called "bullshit" job. She might get a ot of satisfaction out of it.

The_Sibelis:
🤔 if mab started as winter lady and became queen then wouldn't Maeve and sarissa definitely born whilst she was queen?

LostInTime:
From what I can recall, Mab did start out as Winter Lady. Lea was her handmaiden the way Jenny Greenteeth was Maeve's handmaiden. No word on when she became the lady, but since she seemed to be a contemporary of Merlin, probably during the first millennium. Sometime around 1066 she became Winter Queen when the last Winter Queen died. Mother Winter is the OG. The summer queen mantles have all changed hands.

Maeve and Sarissa were born in the early 19th century. Their father was an Austrian composer who died young. Which seems to be a suggestion that it was Mozart, but Schubert fits better. Schubert composed Die Erlkonig.

My crazy fan theory is that the fae courts were set up and the gods banished or surrendered their immortality around the time of Jesus.

Another angle on the "kill Molly Carpenter" thing is that Mab doesn't use a last name. By killing Molly's humanity, you'd be severing her ties to her family. Making her Molly, the queen of air and darkness.
