Sarah Barns (NCIS: New Orleans)

Sarah Barns (Tawny Cypress) is the hidden main villainess from "The Asset," episode 4.03 of NCIS: New Orleans (airdate October 10, 2017). She is an FBI Special Agent working with Deputy Director Raymond Isler in the episode.
NCIS was on the case regarding Navy Yeoman Justin Winters, who was driven off the road and killed, and during Dwayne Pride and Tammy Gregorio's investigation, the latter was encountered by Barns, with the women holding each other at gunpoint. After Isler appeared, he and Barns revealed that they were on an off-book investigation, under Barns' suggestion to Isler, as Winters' passenger was Alexander Petrov--a former Russian sleeper agent. Alexander had information regarding a list of Russian operatives, and he was turning them in to Winters at the time of the murder.
Alexander was revealed to be connected to Eva Azarova, leading to Eva working (mainly) with Gregorio to protect Alexander. The episode's climax saw a group of operatives going after the trio at an old amusement park, with Barns appearing and fatally shooting one of the operatives. Barns asked Eva regarding Gregorio's location, and after Eva stated that Gregorio was behind them, Barns turned heel by shooting Eva. It was revealed that Barns was actually a villainous double agent; she was caught by Russian intelligence during a honeytrap mission, and she had been sending intel to the Russians in the years that passed. The traitorous villainess was one of many on Alexander's list, leading to Barns coercing Isler to run the operation, which she used to send operatives after Winters and Alexander to keep the latter from revealing Barns' heel persona.
After shooting Eva (while unaware that Eva wore a protective vest and survived), the evil Barns engaged in a battle with Gregorio before Pride and Isler showed up and held Barns at gunpoint. Gregorio outed Barns as Eva's shooter, with the villainess falsely claiming that Eva was going to attack her. Isler revealed Barns as a double agent, and Pride ordered Barns to put down her gun, only for Barns to refuse. Not wanting Barns shot and taking the easy way out, Gregorio decked the villainess and allowed Pride and Isler to arrest her.
