Character History
Don't Look Back
Audrey and Elisa Thayer discuss her probable abduction, and note that an "Amber Alert" has been issued for her. However, Matt Parkman uses his powers to locate her hiding in a hidden room under the stairs in her home.
One Giant Leap
After Matt convinces Audrey of his abilities, she hopes to employ him to read Molly's mind for clues about Sylar. As they approach the safe room in which Molly was being held, however, they hear her screaming, find the agent left to guard her pinned to the wall by a chair, and see a mysterious man Audrey believes to be Sylar dragging her off. The man lets her go when confronted, and Matt comforts her as Audrey pursues the suspect.
The Hard Part
Molly is in the custody of the Company. Thompson brings Mohinder Suresh to her and tells him that Molly has the same medical condition that killed his sister Shanti. Her condition also prevents her from using her powers, which are necessary for finding Sylar. She describes it as, "I just think of the person, and I know where they are." Molly gives Mohinder a yellow star drawn on a piece of paper for good luck. Mohinder realizes that antibodies from his own blood are the cure for the virus and uses them to treat Molly.
Landslide
In the Company's office building off Kirby Plaza, Molly tells Mohinder that she feels better and doesn't want to be stuck with any more needles. He tells her she may need a few more treatments to get better, but she says she is already cured, since her power has returned. She demonstrates by locating Matt Parkman and indicating his location on a map. Mohinder asks if she can locate Sylar so he can be stopped, but Thompson interrupts, telling them a helicopter is coming to take them to a safe location.
Knowing from the security monitors that Matt and Mr. Bennet are coming for Molly, Mohinder tells her to hide. Matt and Bennet break in and find her, but Mohinder knocks Matt unconscious and holds his gun on Bennet. Bennet keeps his gun on Molly, creating a standoff.
How to Stop an Exploding Man
During the standoff between Mohinder and Bennet, Parkman, who had just come to after being knocked out by Mohinder, sees Molly, who recognizes him. Molly identifies Parkman to Mohinder as the man that said he would "keep her safe." Parkman tells Molly that no one will hurt her. Bennet and Mohinder then lower their guns, ending the standoff.
Molly later is laying in a bed when Parkman, Bennet, and Mohinder begin to try to get her to reveal the location of Sylar. Molly says that she can locate anyone in the world save one. Parkman asks her if this one is bad, like the boogeyman, to which Molly replies, "No, worse than the boogeyman." Parkman asks her why and she says that when she tries to think of this person, he can "see her". Molly then shows that Sylar is inside the loft of Isaac Mendez. Parkman runs off, believing that he can stop Sylar by himself. Bennet then leaves to find his daughter and Peter Petrelli, and Molly and Mohinder go to escape the hotel.
On their way they encounter a wounded D.L. Hawkins, and try to get him help, but the elevator does not work. Niki and Micah Sanders then burst through the door, and Micah uses his power to get the elevator to work, and the gang thus avoids the group of armed men that are chasing them.
Molly and the gang escape the building to find Sylar facing off with Peter Petrelli. They watch as Parkman runs out into the courtyard and fires five bullets at Sylar. Sylar stops the bullets and turns them back at Parkman, so that Parkman is basically shot five times in the chest. Mohinder runs to help him. Meanwhile, Sylar graps a meter pole and hits Peter with it, but Niki runs out and stops him with her superhuman strength. This allows Peter to punch Sylar a few times. Peter then begins to go radioactive. Molly, Niki, D.L., and Micah watch as Sylar mocks Peter, calling Peter the villain and calling himself the hero. Hiro Nakamura then appears in the courtyard and stabs Sylar, who falls to the ground. Peter tells Hiro that he must kill him to stop the radioactive effect and the bomb. Sylar, wounded on the ground, musters the strength to send Hiro flying through the air, who then teleports to safety. Claire Bennet runs into the courtyard, and her father, who has been lying on the ground with a broken arm, gives her the gun to kill Peter. However, she hesitates, and cannot do it. [[Nathan Petrelli then flies onto the scene, and tells Peter and Claire that there is another way. Nathan takes Peter and flies into space, sacrificing himself for the good of millions. Peter explodes in space, thus not harming anyone other than Nathan. Help then arrives in the form of ambulences and the like. Molly, D.L., Niki, and Micah leave the scene, but not before Molly says goodbye to Parkman, who is on a stretcher. She asks him not to die. However, all that can be seen of Sylar, the boogeyman, is a single stretch of blood, with no body.
Powers
Molly describes her power as the ability to "find people". She has presumably been asked by the Company to find other evolved humans. The full extent of her power and what it can locate, beyond people, has not been revealed.
