#molly hooper is the best companion #she wouldn’t even run off
“Molly, why are you still here?”
“You… you told me not to wander off.”
“Oh. Well. That’s strange. I mean, usually I tell them not to wander off, but they never actually listen. Are you sure you’re human?”
aaaaaawwwwwww
Molly works because, while Watson is ‘the audience’, Molly is every woman of a certain age sitting at home on the settee fantasising about running their hands through Benedict Cumberbatch’s hair. Which is basically what I’d have been doing if I wasn’t in the show.
Also, I think most people have experienced the agony and the ignominy of unrequited love. I’ve never thought Molly was an idiot. She just really, really loves him.
Are you OK? And don’t just say you are, because I know what that means, looking sad when you think no-one can see you.
