Theory	Citations	Notes
Sylar will kill Molly and take her power.	None.	+ Molly's ability to "find people" (The Hard Part) would be incredibly useful to Sylar's storyline, allowing him to instantly find his evolved human victims. - He appears to favor more "legal" methods since acquiring shape shifting. (Turn and Face the Strange) + In the dark future, Molly was turned over to Mr. Bennet. D.L. and Candice were also, and they were killed by Sylar, and Bennet may have thought Molly was dangerous because she knew where Claire was and presumed she would be killed if handed over to Matt. When Sylar killed Candice and D.L. Molly might have been with them and he would have taken her power. - If Bennet thought Matt would use Molly to find Claire, he would hide her, not hand her over to Matt. - Had future Sylar managed to gain Molly's powers he would not have needed Matt or anyone else to find Claire and would have acquired her abilities shortly after taking Molly's. - Sylar has shown himself to have some heart and may not be able to go through with killing a child. + Sylar was going to kill Claire in Homecoming, and she was only 17 years old. This may also explain why he didn't kill her when he had her at FBI Headquarters, instead of trying to escape with her. - Killing a teenager on the brink of legal adulthood is different from killing a small child... additionally, it could be reasonably inferred that Sylar places a higher value on Claire's power than Molly's. - Sylar shifted into Micah in order to save him because he was "just a kid". (I Am Sylar) - Sylar could have killed Molly at her house when he killed her father. + Perhaps Sylar did not know that Molly was there, or even that she had a power. - Molly's name was in parentheses next to James Walker's on Sylar's list.
Molly will have a relationship with Micah.	Molly looks at Micah with some obvious admiration in How to Stop an Exploding Man.	+ Both share the burden of being superpowered children. - They are in different cities. + Molly can find Micah anywhere he goes. + In the Heroes Universe, everyone is connected somehow. We always see them travel from place to place.
The Company attempted to use Molly to find Matt's father.	Molly knows about the man who can see her when she uses her powers to find him (How to Stop an Exploding Man)	+ Molly would not know about Mr. Parkman's ability to see her unless she had a reason to look for him in the first place. - Mr. Parkman could have entered Molly's nightmares himself. + Assuming that Mr. Parkman left the Company a long time ago, he would not know of Molly's existence unless she came looking for him first.
Molly's ability can only be used to find people.	Maury Parkman is able to use her ability to enter her mind (The Kindness of Strangers).	+ If Maury can enter Molly's mind through her ability, then her power probably works by finding human brains. + Molly's ability is to find people. + If Molly could find non-people, she should have been able to find Alejandro's body.
The Company gave Molly the Shanti virus.	The company has been working with the virus for decades.	+ At the time of her infection, there was only one other known victim, and the Company had been working with the virus for decades. • It could have been a accident. + The company had been experimenting with the virus and intended to infect Monica Dawson to study its effects (The Line). It could have been a similar experiment with Molly. - According to Noah Bennet, the Company was using Molly as a tracking system to locate "persons of interest" until she came down with the Shanti virus. It would make no sense to potentially damage a valuable piece of equipment when there are other evolved humans with much more financially worthless abilities to experiment on. - Linderman and Thompson were quick to get Mohinder to try and find and cure for Molly. It seems unlikely he would want to cure somebody he intentionally infected. (The Hard Part)
Molly will be able to use her ability to mentally send Matt Parkman a call for help.	None.	+ Molly was able to establish a two-way telepathic connection with Maury Parkman when she tried to locate him with her ability. As Matt appears to be developing the same enhanced powers as Maury, it is possible she may be able to communicate with him over long distances using the same method. - Maury Parkman used telepathy to control her mind (The Kindness of Strangers). Molly has not spoken to any non-telepaths she's tracked (How To Stop An Exploding Man).
