Gwen Anderson (Instinct)

Gwen Anderson (Margo Seibert) is the main villainess from "Wild Game," the second-ever episode of Instinct (airdate March 25, 2018). She is a farm hand at the Cecchinos' country home, as well as a longtime friend of Roman Cecchino.
Gwen's slight backstory revealed that she suffered physical abuse as a child at the hands of her father, and she had credited Roman for saving her from that environment. Her devotion to Roman became an obsessive need to protect him from anyone she believed was hurting him, and when Roman and his wife, Nora, were facing losing their restaurant to Sebastian Talbot, Gwen resorted to killing Sebastian, committing the murder late one night by shooting him to death with a bow and arrow. The delusional villainess also killed Haley, one of the restaurant's chefs, feeling that she was also a threat to Nolan.
Sebastian's widow, Selena, was a suspect in her husband's murder, and due to the weapon of choice, Nora was also a suspect when she was revealed as an expert archer. However, Nora's comment about Roman being a knight in shining armor pointed to Gwen, as Dr. Dylan Reinhart stated that Gwen fit the profile of someone who would kill to protect Roman. Dylan and Detective Lizzie Needham learned about the couple heading for divorce and Nora filing for custody of their daughter, Bea, leading to Nora being targeted as Gwen's next victim.
The episode's climax saw Lizzie returning to the farm and finding Bea with Gwen, while Dylan found Nora gagged and tied up in the silo. Dylan was later confronted by the psychotic Gwen, who was armed with a scythe, and he attempt to talk Gwen down. Gwen saw Nora as someone who was hurting Roman by attempting to take Bea away from him, and she later attacked and fought with Dylan and pushed the button to fill up the silo in an attempt to kill Nora. Lizzie ended up saving Nora and Dylan subdued Gwen, who was later arrested (off-screen) for the murders and the attempt on Nora.
