Mel Gaynor-Randle (Rizzoli & Isles)

Mel Gaynor-Randle (Brenda Strong) is the main villainess of "I Kissed a Girl," episode 1.06 of Rizzoli & Isles (airdate August 16, 2010). She was the captain of an LGBT bowling team, as well as the wife of Kelly Gaynor-Randle. However, it was later discovered that Mel was having an affair with the bartender and owner of Merch, and the couple plotted to kill Kelly and run off with her $500,000 inheritance.
Knowing that her wife was diabetic, the evil Mel poisoned her insulin pump with fentanyl and replaced the original pump with her makeshift weapon. After that, Kelly left Merch and was beginning to feel the opioid's effects when the bartender bludgeoned her to death with 2x4 plank before penetrating her vagina with a sex toy in order to divert suspicions away from women. Meanwhile, Mel participated in routine bowling activities to create an alibi for herself, and while the callous conspirator was being interviewed by Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles, she played the part of a grieving widow to hide her true colors.
Her villainous role was exposed in the episode's climax when she was shown meeting with her mistress discussing their plans for Kelly's inheritance, which also included Mel disclosing that she poisoned her late wife prior to her murder. The scheming deceiver was shocked when her lover stated that Kelly's fingerprints weren't on the pump, and it was at that moment that Jane resurfaced with Detective Barry Frost, revealing to Mel that Merch's bartender/owner was wearing a wire. After that, both villainesses were arrested for Kelly's murder.
