Molly Massey

"*How can you say that? Edward is an outsider--- he has been NOTHIN' but trouble since he got here. I'm simply gonna teach him a lesson. I think this will do nicely. You're not gonna need that cane when I'm done with you. You're gonna need a wheelchair you little RAT!*"
—Molly to Elliott Rowe and Edward Remar[src]

Molly Massey is a supporting character and an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in Route to Paradise. She served as one of the two secondary antagonists of Season 5. She is a loud-mouthed and impulsive woman that is fiercely loyal to her leader, Kurt Klein. Molly is prone to complaining and is generally unpleasant to be around due to her tendency to insult and challenge people.

Molly, alongside Landon Kimber, was Kurt’s most trusted ally and would help him lead his group with an iron fist. She took an immediate disliking to Edward Remar and Solomon Reed following their recruitment to the group, and would go out of her way to argue with and degrade them. Molly’s stupidity while messing around would later lead to the group’s camp being attacked in the middle of the night by a horde of zombies, leading to the death of Calvin Schultz, a close associate of Edward’s. She, like Kurt, showed no remorse for this.

Upon arriving at the amusement park, Molly was with Kurt when it was discovered that Edward is now plotting against them. She went on to be sent by Kurt to confront Edward and break his legs to teach him a lesson, but was ultimately unsuccessful. After a brutal, bloody fight with Edward, Molly, moments before going to execute him, would be crushed by a giant falling dolphin sculpture dropped by Elliott Rowe.

## **Pre-Apocalypse**

Nothing is known about Molly's life prior to the outbreak.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

At some point after the outbreak, Molly joined Kurt Klein's group, becoming one of his closest associates alongside Landon Kimber.

### **Season 5**

#### "**Before it Gets Better**"

In the final scene of the episode, Molly, alongside Landon Kimber and Kurt Klein are seen approaching Edward Remar, who's drenched in blood, surrounded by a field of dead zombies.

#### "**His Resolve**"

At camp, Molly is seen speaking with Landon.

When the group prepares to leave camp, Molly goes to stand near Kurt, a wicked smile on her face. Kurt announces to everyone in the group that they'll be packing up and leaving. But new group member Edward demands that Kurt give him back his shotgun before they go anywhere. Snickering, Molly jokes that Edward would probably lose his balance upon firing the gun, and says that Edward needs to learn some manners. "And you need a hairbrush," Edward replies, offending Molly.

Later that night, after traveling for a few hours, the group stops and makes camp in the woods just off the road. Molly is seen around the campfire with Landon and Kurt.

#### "**It All Comes Crashing Down**"

At their new camp, a trailer park, Molly is seen returning from an early morning scavenging trip, carrying a bag full of supplies. She dumps the bag onto the supply wagon in front of Nancy Warner, Elliott Rowe and Edward, purposefully bumping into the little man and smiling about it. She turns towards Nancy, and waits for he to open the bag - where inside is a variety of different poisons Molly had found at the warehouse she searched. Nancy and Elliott are unsure and hesitant about why Molly would even bring the poisons back, but Molly tells them to quit questioning her, as she jokingly threatens that she'll use it to poison Edward. Molly then unholsters a pistol and places it with the bag, explaining that she'd found it at the warehouse too. Having a sudden urge to figure out how much guns they have, Molly snatches a clipboard from Nancy, finding that there's supposed to be seventeen in total -- but there's one missing from the wagon. Nancy is in denial at first, but quickly realizes that Molly is correct; one gun is missing. Molly complains that it was her one job to keep track of all the group's supplies, and then says that she's going to go tell Kurt. She speeds off to get him, and returns with Kurt not two minutes later, having explained everything to him. Kurt does his best to hide his anger, as he tells Nancy to come with him. When she and Kurt walk off, Molly scowls, turning to leave as well.

In search of a new campsite, Molly gathers around a map with Kurt, Landon and Elliott, the latter of whom is explaining that their journey to the amusement park will be delayed by a few days, as the nearest bridge to them is swarmed by zombies. Molly sighs, disappointed, and tugs on Kurt's arm, telling him to do something; she wanted to be at the amusement park as soon as possible. "A few zombies? Piece of piss," Kurt says, deciding that they'll deal with them. Elliott insists that it's too dangerous, but Kurt concludes that they **will** be crossing the bridge.

Before leaving, Molly is present when Kurt tells the group about the missing gun - and says that whoever has it has this one chance to turn it over. But nobody steps forward, and the missing gun remains a mystery.

At the bridge, Molly and the others examine the situation - and decide that they can handle the zombies. She instructs the weaker group members to stay behind while she and the stronger members deal with the zombies. With an axe in hand, Molly starts clearing out the zombies one by one, making slow process across the bridge. Eventually, most of the zombies are killed, and Molly makes it across the bridge. As the rest of the group is making it over as well, Calvin Schultz gets stuck behind, his horse getting spooked by a few of the remaining zombies. The old man is thrown off of his horse - and becomes surrounded by zombies. Most people start rushing over to help -- but Molly, Kurt, Landon and Leonard Thorne don't bother. That is until Calvin pulls out a gun to shoot the zombies around him. Molly looks on, mortified. She stays where she is, while an incensed Kurt storms over to Calvin.

#### "**Little Man**"

Back on the road, Molly is sitting in the back of a car that's leading the rest of the group. Molly sits back, grinning, excited about the amusement park that they're still travelling to. She then leans forward, speaking with Kurt, who's in the front passenger seat. She questions why he's still allowing Edward to roll with them, to which Kurt sarcastically says that he enjoys the little man's company. He then says that Edward's twisted nature is a good reminder that he's not too far gone, which is something Molly can get behind.

Eventually, their trip to the amusement park comes to a halt thanks to a fallen tree in the road. Molly gets out of the car muttering complaints, before clapping her hands and calling over some of the men to help her get to work removing the tree.

That night, Molly is seen sitting with Landon and Kurt in their temporary camp.

Later into the night, Molly is standing over on one side of the camp chatting with Landon, the two of them talking about Edward, and how disgusting and strange he is, with Molly suspecting that he has a thing for her. Suddenly, the two hear a noise in the bushes nearby, and when Molly goes to investigate, she's startled to find Solomon Reed standing there, his back facing her. When Solomon realizes he's been found, he apologizes and says that he was on his way to use the bathroom. Landon strolls over, inviting Solomon into their conversation, and making the man light his cigarette. Molly then has an idea for a game, saying that Landon and Solomon should see who's the *better man* by doing activities like throwing knives. Landon is on board, and so is Solomon. But before anything can begin, Molly, out of nowhere, feels something wrapping around her leg. When she looks down, she sees a snake squeezing her leg, which freaks her out. She screams out, as the creature bites her. Landon paces over in no hurry, grabbing the serpent and ripping it off of Molly's leg. He tosses it to the ground, and watches as it slithers away. But Molly wasn't going to let it just get away. She draws her pistol, and fires a shot at it.

A nearby horde of zombies is drawn to the camp thanks to Molly's stupidity - and so everyone in camp begins climbing out of their tents, drowsy, in order to fend off the zombies. Molly begins fighting them as well, and when Edward hears about what happened from Solomon, he yells at Molly in frustration. She yells back at him to just get over it, and focus on killing the zombies. During the chaos, Molly notices a zombie grappling with Edward, but she chooses not to help him. After much more fighting, the zombies are eventually all killed, and the camp looks to be clear. Edward spits on the ground, while cursing at Molly for her foolishness. Grumbling, Molly tells to quit whining, pointing out that nobody even got hurt. But as it turns out - someone did get hurt. In the background, Calvin stumbles down next to a tree, having been bit by a zombie. Molly looks over, but doesn't seem to bothered by it.

#### "**Pipe Dream**"

After a couple of more days of travelling, the group at last arrives at the amusement park, and Molly is ecstatic. As they walk through the park, Molly and Kurt complain to each other that people in their group, especially Edward, are still moping around three days after Calvin died. Showing zero remorse, Molly almost immediately switches the topic back to the park itself, excited to explore the place.

A couple of hours later, Molly is brought over for a meeting between her, Kurt, Landon and Leonard, the latter of whom had overheard Edward running his mouth off about Kurt to Shaun Fisher, one of the new people they found in the park. Molly crosses her arms and shakes her head, while Kurt rages, pushing over an entire vending machine. After Leonard leaves, Molly and the other two begin talking about Shaun and his group, debating what should be done with them, given that most of them, especially one in particular, are dead weight. Kurt, still in a rage over Edward, orders Landon to kill the old man, Jose, and tells Molly to deal with the Edward problem. He doesn't want Edward dead - but wants Molly to give him a good beating, believing that'll be enough to keep him in line going forward. With a smirk, she says, "You don't need to tell me twice."

While looking for Edward, Molly stops by a couple of picnic tables with Elliott, Carson Burke and Bonnie Harrell. She asks if they've seen Edward anywhere, but they haven't. Sighing, she walks off.

After more searching, Molly finally finds the little man in the under construction Aquapark. With Edward is Elliott, who Molly tells to run along, but Elliott doesn't go anywhere. Molly begins to call out Edward as a traitor, and says that she's here to punish him. She yells at Elliott again to leave, but Elliott instead tries to reason with Molly, telling her that she's being too extreme. Molly can't believe what she's hearing, and having waited long enough, she rushes forward at Edward, throwing a punch that Edward dodges. Picking up a shovel, Molly continues fighting with Edward, landing a couple of hits on him. Elliott steps in at one point, getting in front of Molly and begging her to stop. But she simply shoves the young man aside. However, Elliott distraction was long enough for Edward to grab a brick, slamming it off of Molly's head, creating a nasty gash. Screaming out, Molly runs at Edward, but she is fooled by Edward, who causes her to run straight into a metal pipe, causing her to be dazed for a moment. The fight continues on, as Molly is able to land a couple of kicks on Edward, and stomps onto his arm. Thinking fast, Edward trips Molly up, then grabs the shovel that she'd dropped to try and hit her with it. Molly, however, catches the weapon - before she is headbutted in one of her eyes by him. She screams a curse, holding her eye in pain, as a couple of zombies begin to stumble out of buildings nearby. Now fuming with rage, Molly jumps back up and tackles Edward to the ground, pummeling his face. Elliott races over, grabbing Molly to try and pull her off, but Molly turns around, scratching Elliott and pushing him away. Edward takes the chance to push Molly off of him, and towards a zombie that nearby bites Molly, but she throws it off her. In the background, the two zombies turn their attention on Elliott, chasing the man into a small crane nearby. Molly, having had enough of Edward, pulls out her revolver and points it at Edward, who's on the ground. There's nothing he can do. She mutters that Edward just tried to kill her by throwing the zombie at her, which is grounds enough for her to shoot him dead. Before she can shoot him, Edward yells over to Elliott -- who presses a button inside of the crane. Above Molly, a giant dolphin sculpture is released from the crane's hook, falling to the ground and squishing Molly beneath it, her remains splattering around the surrounding area.

#### "**The Fanatic and the Freak**"

Molly's remains are seen several times throughout the episode, still crushed underneath the sculpture.
