Suzanne Hecht (Common Law)

Suzanne Hecht (Hedy Burress) is the main villainess of "Role Play", episode 1.07 of Common Law (airdate June 29, 2012). She was the owner of restaurant Northbrook and the stepsister of Beth Boyd, the owner of a cupcake store and the estranged wife of Kevin Boyd.
When Beth was found dead in her store after making a 911 call claiming Kevin had attacked her, Suzanne stated that it wouldn't surprise her if Kevin killed Beth due to their intense divorce proceedings and the series of lawsuits between them, angrily blasting Kevin when he appeared at the scene shortly afterwards. Kevin was initially believed to be Beth's killer, as his DNA was found under her fingernails and he revealed that he had blacked out on the night of Beth's murder while out drinking.
But the truth about the events leading to Beth's demise was eventually uncovered by detectives Travis Marks and Wes Mitchell: she had never been attacked by Kevin. Wanting to get Kevin arrested so she could get everything in their divorce proceeding, Beth conspired with Suzanne to frame Kevin for assault, starting by having Suzanne serve Kevin whiskey laced with flunitrazepam (a date rape drug) when he came to her restaurant. After Beth scratched Kevin to get his DNA under her nails, Suzanne tied Beth to a chair in her restaurant before Beth called 911 to finger Kevin as her "assailant". But as Beth made the call, Suzanne suddenly turned heel and strangled her stepsister to death.
Travis and Wes discovered the plot after Kevin's toxicology report showed the roofies in his system, with Suzanne confessing to her role in the scheme under interrogation, claiming that she didn't know the full extent of Beth's intentions and covering her role in Beth's murder. But after listening to Beth's 911 call again and hearing Suzanne's voice on the recording, as well as noticing that the knots used to restrain Beth were made by a left-handed person while Kevin was right-handed, Travis and Wes realized that she was the killer and went to arrest her at her restaurant. After the detectives had her sign for Beth's personal effects, allowing them to see that she was in fact left-handed, Suzanne realized she was caught and attempted to flee, only to be subdued when Wes shoved a dish cart in her path. Suzanne was handcuffed and placed under arrest, with the detectives revealing to Kevin that she had killed Beth so she could inherit all her property and thus save her financially struggling restaurant.
