Brenda Lake (The Inspectors)

Brenda Lake (Jessica Lundy) is a villainess from "Noah's Near Miss," episode 3.14 of The Inspectors (airdate February 18, 2018). She is an out-of-work actress who was part of a monetary scheme to scam students.
Brenda's slight backstory revealed that she was an old friend of school professor Polly Harwood, who turned down acting to focus on being an educator. As revealed by Polly herself, Brenda was ruthless in her road to stardom in the golden age, but when the high-level roles ran out, she began colluding with Dr. Isaac to form the University of Creative Artists, which was created to scam high school and college students.
As part of the ruse, the evil Brenda promoted the school as an institution to turn students into budding filmmakers, but as revealed by one of its former students, a young woman named Stephanie, it was all a lie. Their claim that the students will be taught by experts was false, as Stephanie revealed that the teachers were barely out of college, and that it was all a scheme to acquire the student loans. After Noah Waldman planned to enroll in UCA, Amanda Wainwright (also played by Lundy) went on the case.
Amanda and Mitch uncovered the scheme in the episode's climax, and after warning Noah about the school, the pair entered Dr. Isaac's office and arrested both him and Brenda. When Amanda asked Brenda why she would participate in such a scheme, Brenda stated (in dramatic fashion) that her role put her back in the limelight she craved since her career began to fizzle out; after which she was taken into custody.
