Sue Vaughn (Castle)

Sue Vaughn (Jennifer Riker) is the main villainess from "Fool Me Once...," episode 2.04 of Castle (airdate October 12, 2009). She was introduced as the co-ordinator for the wedding of Elise Finnegan and Steven Fletcher.
However, Sue was actually a con artist, and not only that, she was Steven's partner-in-crime and lover. The wedding was part of the couple's plan to scam money from Elise, with Sue befriending Elise to get intel on her, which she would give to Steven. In a twist, Steven developed actual and genuine feelings for Elise, to the point where he was planning on changing his ways and giving up the scheme. Steven's plans would leave Sue working on her own, and that plus her anger over Steven actually being in love with Elise drove her over the edge.
Steven was shown posing as an Arctic explorer in the beginning of the episode, doing so in front of a class of first-graders. During the presentation, the evil Sue appeared (out of plain sight) and shot Steven to death in a fit of rage, shooting him in the face to make sure that Steven would be unrecognizable. The shot was part of Sue's plan to further scam Elise, as she played a recording of Steven's voice and made it appear that he was alive. The villainess later coerced Elise to withdraw $1 million from her account under the promise that Elise would be reunited with Steven. However, Richard Castle and Kate Beckett had figured out that Sue was Steven's partner, and decided to set up the scheming con artist. 
Sue received the briefcase from Elise, but when she got in her car, it was revealed to be full of newspapers. Castle and Beckett later appeared and revealed that they tricked her, and later on, Sue was handcuffed and arrested for Steven's murder (and other crimes) by Ryan and Esposito.
