By the third episode, it's abundantly clear that there's far more to Molly Strand (Melanie Lynskey) than meets the eye. The real estate agent seems quirky and antisocial from the get-go, but the voices she's hearing aren't just any voices — they're the ones of the people around her. If you ask me, she seems to have a touch of the Shine, à la The Shining and Doctor Sleep's Danny Torrance. It's also worth noting how, as a child, she felt pain at the same time Henry did — this odd dynamic is seen between Thad Beaumont and George Stark in The Dark Half, which is coincidentally set in Castle Rock as well.
