Simone Colgate (Private Eyes)

Simone Colgate (Janine Theriault) is the hidden main villainess from "The Grape Deception," episode 3.05 of Private Eyes (airdate June 25, 2019). She is an authenticator of wines for Belanger Estates.
Matt Shade and Angie Everett went to the estates after the latter answered a call from her old college roommate, Cassie Lewis, who works as a wine specialist. Cassie's call was regarding the Winston '45, which Matt referred to as the "Holy Grail of wines," as the bottle--the only one in the world--was stolen. News of the theft broke, and there were claims of bottles of Winston '45 being bought, leading to the pair suspecting a man named Nevin Ainslie of the theft. Their interview with Nevin revealed that he was in a relationship with a woman named Nancy Colgate, who informed the pair that she made the deliveries of the five Winston '45 bottles, revealing that it was a favor for her granddaughter. 
A photo revealed that Nancy's granddaughter was none other than Simone, and after seeing a lone bottle in Nancy's fridge, it led to the conclusion that the bottle was the real Winston '45, and that Simone was the true thief. To trap her, Matt, Angie, and Cassie met Simone and informed her that they retrieved the real Winston '45, while accusing her of stealing the bottle. Simone denied the claims, but after Matt "accidentally smashed the bottle with the same label as the one they found, she went into a panic, which revealed the truth. 
Feeling underappreciated and (more importantly) underpaid for her work, the evil Simone decided to steal the Winston '45, using her grandmother as a "wine mule" and stealing Nevin's labels, which she used to put on various wine bottles and sold them under the claim that they were all Winston '45. As for the smashed bottle, it was full of pure grape juice, worth under $10. Afterwards, Simone ended up handcuffed and arrested for her various crimes.
