As the series begins, Molly’s dreams come true when she is given a place on one of the last Herrick missions to Afghanistan. This will be the most unforgettable six months of her life – and it will either make or break her.

Fearless and outspoken, Molly is a true original and struggles at first with the discipline of army regulations.

This mission will be a huge rites of passage story for her, as she faces unimaginable challenges in a far flung land.

Molly’s experiences in Afghanistan will see her grow as an individual and feel empowered as a woman for the first time in her life.

During her tour, she falls for mysterious Captain Charles James. The two wed, later revealed in season two. In season three they were going through a crisis and James spent a night with Georgie. Despite this, it was revealed that he finally got the help he needed to deal with his PTSD and reunited with Molly and that the two have rekindled their marriage.
