It didn't bother me honestly...and as you may tell, Molly is my favorite. Some companions just come and go, rather it be death or choosing not to be involved. I think it just comes down to the character having the opportunity to die. And I guess coz there was that one chance, she wouldn't survive either way. Same for choosing to let Ben die or he dies on the way to save Clem. Twas not meant to be. Or Carly and Doug, no matter who you chose they would not be there for the end either way.
No, it was pretty clear she wouldn't be. In the last "Playing Dead" episode, Gary Whitta called her part of a "lighter mood" for episode 4, which naturally was meant to be crushed in the finale. She was too powerful and too unbeaten to be in episode 5.

I don't think anyone from TTG or any reliable source said she would be.
this. in fact, the voice actress herself said she was not hired for episode 5 about a week after episode 4 came out.
interview. i read it. should be somewhere on the internet.
I meant to the OP, but thanks
