When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail's doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the minions are understandably doubtful. Wicked witch needed! When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail's doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the minions are understandably doubtful. After all, she is twelve years old, quite polite, and rather unintimidating. But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love, and forcing Molly to go back home to the room she shares with her pink-and-sparkles-loving 'good' twin sister. So when Molly assures the minions she is quite wicked indeed, everyone remains hopeful. It turns out, though, that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all; she isn't who she says she is.
