Holly Gero (L.A.'s Finest)

Holly Gero (Karissa Lee Staples) was the main villainess from "Farewell... and "...My Lovely," episodes 1.05 and 1.06 of L.A.'s Finest (airdates May 20 and 27, 2019).
== Backstory ==
Holly Gero was the fiancee of a man named Sawyer Bellows, but sometime before the events of "Farewell...," Sawyer planned to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Holly not only supported Sawyer, she paid for the surgeries, which resulted in Sawyer becoming a woman named Eve. Holly was still very much in love with Eve and wanted to remain with her, though Eve set her sites on boxer Karim Delgado, ending her relationship with Holly.
== Events ==
Enraged over being dumped by her longtime lover, Holly turned heel in the events and brutally murdered Eve, doing so by slashing her body and nearly undoing the surgeries performed on her. The psychotic villainess committed the brutal murder in her home, and she later dumped Eve's body inside a church, where she was found in the opening scenes. The location and brutality of Eve's body led detectives Nancy McKenna and Sydney Burnett to believe that this was a case of transphobia, though Karim himself became a suspect in the murder of his girlfriend. Later in the episode, however, the evil Holly stabbed Karim to death at his home, continuing her scorned vendetta.
The following episode, "...My Lovely," had detectives Ben Walker and Ben Baines suspecting Sam (another trans person) of the murders, though their interview with a hospitalized Sam (who was in a car accident) had him revealing that Eve got into a confrontation a blonde woman before her murder. The Bens' look into Eve's social media revealed her previous identity as well as the blonde woman, the latter being Holly. Holly's reveal came when the Bens searched her home and found a pool of blood, which revealed that she killed Eve at her home and that she had paid for Eve's surgeries. After learning that Holly was at a nearby hotel, the pair went there and found a suicidal Holly standing on the balcony.
The maniacal villainess threatened to jump, while adding that she loved Eve and that they were supposed to be married. Holly voiced her heartbreak over being alone, and in response to Walker's attempts to talk her down by telling her that she wouldn't be alone, Holly stated that she wouldn't be and that Eve was waiting for her. Shortly afterwards, Holly intentionally fell over the balcony and to her death.
