Lorraine Bergin (Bones)

Lorraine Bergin (Wendy Braun) is the main villainess from "The Priest in the Churchyard," episode 2.17 of Bones (airdate March 28, 2007). She is a perish administrator of a church where Father William Donlan originally served as its priest, before Father Matthew Sands took over.
The body of another priest, Father McCourt, was found in the church's graveyard, with James Levay--a teenager who attended the church--recognizing him as McCourt. Lorraine claimed that McCourt left a note that stated that he was leaving the church. According to Enzo, McCourt was suspected of being a pedophile, but when James was approached regarding the accusations, he stated that McCourt was a friend of his and was never inappropriate with him, though he added that Father Donlan was cruel to McCourt. 
Donlan was suspected of the murder because of this, though Donlan stated that his strict demeanor was towards all priests. A meeting with Lorraine ended with Dr. Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth figuring out that the silver chalice was the possible murder weapon, and it was also revealed that McCourt was poisoned. Sands was suspected due to having known McCourt--until he was revealed to have been poisoned himself. The belief that the poisoning of McCourt was done to weaken him due to the killer not being very strong led the suspicion back to Donlan, who actually confessed after learning that McCourt and Sands were both poisoned. However, Booth figured out that Donlan's confession was false and he was covering for someone else, who was revealed as none other than Lorraine.
As Lorraine herself revealed to Donlan, she had suspected McCourt of not only being a pedophile, but having his sights set on James, despite no proof to back up her claims. Lorraine turned heel and poisoned McCourt to make him too sick to fulfill his desires (in her mind), but while falling ill due to the effects, he fell and hit his head. The villainess struck McCourt with the chalice to make sure he would be dead before she buried him, and after seeing Sands coaching the wrestling team, the evil Lorraine poisoned Sands as well, believing that he was also after the boys (Sands survived). She stated to Donlan that she saw his anger at Sands, only for Donlan to reveal that his anger was due to Sands replacing him, and that there was no proof on Lorraine's claims against both men. Lorraine was later arrested (off-screen) for McCourt's murder and the attempt on Sands.
