Christine Gertin (Bones)

Christine Gertin (Katharine Leonard) is the main villainess from "The Crank in the Shaft," episode 4.06 of Bones (airdate October 1, 2008). She is an employee at Ziff-Young, working for office manager Patty Hoyle.
Patty's decomposed remains were found in the shaft of an elevator, and after she was identified, it was revealed that Patty antagonized a number of her employees. This resulted in a number of suspects, one of them being Dave Farfield, who lost his job due to Patty reporting him for vandalizing her car--he wrote the word "BITCH" on her car after she parked so badly that he couldn't get out. Gary Flannery was another suspect, as Patty was blackmailing Gary after she found out he was reselling office supplies.
It was revealed that Patty was already dead before the body was dumped in the shaft, with a ruptured aneurysm being the cause. The murder weapon was revealed as a stapler, and while Dave and Gary were cleared, the former was out with another co-worker, Chip Yap. After Chip's semen was revealed to be found with the body, Dr. Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth confronted Chip, who not only confessed to a sexual relationship with Patty, he confessed to killing her to keep her from reporting him for sexual harassment. However, during Chip's demonstration of how he dumped the body, Brennan and Booth concluded that Chip clearly had help, though he refused to name his accomplice. After a blue fingernail was found: it led to Christine, who was the true killer.
As Christine revealed, she and Chip were caught making love in the coffee room by Patty, who threatened to report them. An angry Christine tossed a stapler at Patty, which caused the ruptured aneurysm and killed her, after which she and Chip dumped her body in the elevator shaft. During her confession, the evil Christine lashed out at Patty for sticking her nose in everyone's business, and stated that all she wanted was to be with Chip, after which Christine was arrested (off-screen).
