>>127230956You know I've figured out a motive on why Molly would actually want to spread Misery.
For this plot to work. It requires a divergence point in Episode 1 where Andrea never actually steps into the bathroom. When that happens Scratch can't scare her accidentally by reflex and thus Molly can't turn the situation around.
With Andrea's ridiculous overreaction to the mispronunciation of her name and Most of the school abandoning Molly because of Andrea's influence. I can see Molly starting to become increasingly spiteful and angry at Brighton itself since that was supposed to be her new home where she would actually be able to stay and make friends in. Molly's expectations for Brighton was completely broken.
Considering the McGee's financial situation. It's highly unlikely that they could actually just pack their bags and leave Brighton. Which means that Molly's stuck in Brighton.
Slowly but surely Molly starts plotting revenge against Brighton itself. The Ghost Council seeing an opportunity to screw with Scratch decides to reveal themselves and deputize Molly as Scratch's partner.
Slowly but surely a bunch of improbable accidents and bizarre coincidences suddenly appears all over Brighton (Molly is basically the brains behind it all with Scratch being the spectral power backing her up.)
However Molly has a problem. Libby starts noticing that whenever something goes wrong in Brighton. Molly is not far behind and thus she starts investigating the Mystery of Molly McGee.
