Maggie Borden (Republic of Doyle)

Maggie Borden (Lesley Faulkner) is the hidden villainess of "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Doyle", episode 1.10 of Republic of Doyle (airdate March 24, 2010). She was the wife of Bruce Borden, a businessman working for a life insurance company.
During the episode, Bruce was found dead in a parking garage after being struck by a car, with private detective Jake Doyle working alongside novelist Garrison Steele, who was shadowing Jake as research for his next novel. Prior to Bruce's death, Jake had been tasked with locating his mistress, Grace Ebner, by Grace's husband Daryl; an affair Maggie appeared to know about. When questioned by Jake and Garrison about who might've wanted to kill Bruce, Maggie claimed that Bruce had been being blackmailed prior to his death, leading the two to believe his death was connected to a fraud being operated within Daryl's oil company that Bruce was investigating.
But ultimately, Jake and Garrison learned that Daryl hadn't known about Bruce's knowledge of his oil scam, leading Jake and Garrison to pinpoint Bruce's true murderer: Maggie, who had lied about Bruce being blackmailed to throw them off her trail. To catch Maggie, Jake went with Garrison to Maggie's house to pretend they were looking for headlight glass in Maggie's tires that matched Bruce's car, as the two had deduced that Maggie went about killing Bruce by ramming his car with her own while he was working on it, causing his vehicle to strike and kill him. Believing she was cornered, the vengeful Maggie at first claimed she didn't mean to kill Bruce before stating that she actually had, referring to him as a "bastard" and confirming that she had killed him out of anger at his infidelity. Following her confession, Maggie was dropped off at the police station (off-screen) by Jake and Garrison, where she was placed under arrest for her husband's murder.
