Jennifer Morrison (NCIS)

Jennifer Morrison (Desiree Hall) is a hidden villainess from "Dressed to Kill," episode 11.16 of NCIS (airdate March 4, 2014). She is a receptionist for U.S. Senator Denise O'Hara, as well as the girlfriend of disgraced private investigator Nick Bodeen.
As revealed later on, Jennifer was also a villainous conspirator (along with Nick) in a greedy plot masterminded by Macao-based businessman Calvin Ling. O'Hara was set on signing a bill that would take down U.S. naval docks that were lucrative to Ling's business. Nick was paid by Ling to kill Michael Elliott to silence him; meanwhile, the evil Jennifer tampered with a report from Navy Commander Saxson, which contained a complete list of the ports. Ling's ports were ranked in the bottom in strategic value, but the villainess moved them higher on the list, doing so under Ling's payroll and to keep Ling in business.
When Jennifer was first shown and encountered by Eleanor Bishop, she was shown in tears, under the belief that she was crying over Elliott. However, after Bishop returned with Timothy McGee and Leroy Gibbs, Jennifer's corruption was revealed after Gibbs stated to O'Hara that someone on her staff was working with Ling. McGee dialed a number connected to the conspirator, with Jennifer's phone ringing, marking her reveal. O'Hara stated that Jennifer had access to all of her mail and correspondence, and after she was caught, Jennifer asked for a lawyer. As O'Hara herself later revealed, Jennifer was arrested for her role in the conspiracy, and it was after this that Jennifer's relationship with Nick was revealed, as her tears were for her boyfriend, who was shot and killed in the beginning of the episode by Tony DiNozzo in self-defense
