Reese Harmon (Castle)

Reese Harmon (Tina Majorino) is the main villainess from "One Life to Lose," episode 3.18 of Castle (airdate March 21, 2011). She is the assistant to Sarah Cutler, who was the head writer of the fictional soap opera, Temptation Lane.
Reese also worked at a network fellowship program; a job that Sarah got her, due to Sarah's affinity for helping young writers. However, Reese began to feel underappreciated after doing so many menial tasks for Sarah, believing that she was unable to write a script of her own because of her busy schedule. When a barista named Lauren Goldberg appeared at the program with a script to hand to Sarah, Reese took the opportunity to plagiarize it and claim it as her own. 
Sarah had read Reese's script and realized it was a copy, and she was apparently on the verge of firing her. Having found out that Sarah knew about her devious actions, the evil Reese killed Sarah with an axe to her back, and later disposed of her blood-covered clothes at her apartment. The villainess ended up as part of the writing staff following Sarah's death, and during Kate Beckett and Richard Castle's investigation, Reese sent them in the direction of a pair of potential suspects, one being an obsessed fan and another being actress Mandy Bronson, who was having an affair with Sarah's husband.
Though they were among many in a long list of suspects, Castle figured out that Reese was the killer after reading Lauren's script. Beforehand, Castle learned that Sarah felt betrayed by someone, and after reading the script, a scene was acted out where Mandy's character, Angela, was being exposed as a plagiarist by co-star Lance Buchanan's character, while Reese began to feel nervous over seeing life imitate art. After the scene was over, Castle and Beckett confronted the villainess regarding her actions. Reese denied it at first, but after Beckett stated that there was a search in her apartment for her bloody clothes, she confessed to everything, stating that Sarah overworked her so much that she couldn't write a script of her own, while adding that she had to kill her to prevent Sarah from taking an opportunity she felt she deserved. Reese was arrested for Sarah's murder, and she was shown being taken into custody.
