Battle Ground foreshadowing
morriswalters:
Evidently she thinks she can die, the phrase she uses is that she is immortal not eternal. And Butcher likes to telegraph what he is going to do.
--- Quote from: Small Favor ---“It’s never that simple. Titania could decide that the best way to help me would be to break my back, paralyze me from the waist down, and dump me into a hospital bed so her gruffs won’t have to kill me.”

And two books later Harry breaks his back leaving him paralyzed. However I have no direct support for the thought, merely the thought.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Immortals can die on Halloween at least, the White God probably not.

It is possible that though she is now Lady of the Winter Court, the transformation over to full fae hasn't been finished, and till it is, Molly can still be killed like any other ordinary mortal.
morriswalters:
If Butcher needs Molly dead then she will die and the same is true for Mab. For instance Bob knows how to kill an immortal. At no point does Butcher put it in canon that there is only one way it can be done. It may well be that the Knight himself is a fail safe of some kind and that the Mantle may be able to do what a mortal couldn't. You can infer this from Mab's command. She evidently thinks Harry could do it, even if he won't.

As previously stated, if reality breaks down all bets are off, Mab probably had no idea whether Ethnui could kill her, or not but if she could she considered that conditions were likely that Molly would be vulnerable as well. I doubt there was any precedent for what was going on in Battle Ground.
If Mab did die the Mantle would pass to Molly unless as with the Summer Knights Mantle, Harry turned Molly to Stone, the transmission is pretty automatic, and the Lady’s Mantle would go to the nearest Virgin Changeling or Wizard with any association with Winter, with the likely result they Carlos would become the Winter Laddy.
