Mab telling Harry to kill Molly in the event of her death might actually be Mab trying to be nice to Harry, too.  He just lost Murphy, and Mab knows that Harry/Molly are very concerned with the state of their souls.  Ending Molly's life before she becomes another Mab seems like a reasonable "kindness" to expect from Mab in that situation.

That seems like a stretch to me.  I doubt that Mab would care about Harry's feelings, if she wanted Molly killed it if something happened to her, it wasn't to save her soul.

Maybe, but Mab does get some humanizing moments, especially lately.  Mother Winter calls her too sentimental.

Yeah, but I wouldn't be shocked if Mother Winter called Mother Summer sentimental..

Mother Summer is sentimental. That doesn't mean she can't or won't do what's necessary. For example, disciplining a child is a necessary act, but a bad parent can get sadistic joy from it but a good parent feels bad about doing it. Either way the job is still done.

And Mab as well, when it became apparent that her own child needed to die, she ordered it..  She also will do what is necessary, if she thinks Molly has to die, it won't be to save her or Harry's soul out of sentimentality.
