Susan (The Mysteries of Laura)

Susan (Marisa Ryan) is the hidden villainess of "The Mystery of the Maternal Instinct", episode 2.07 of The Mysteries of Laura (airdate November 4, 2015). She was a masseuse who also worked for Ambaby, an illegal maternity ward that catered to wealthy foreign women wanting to give birth to their babies in the US. One of the patients in Susan's care was DJ Kano, a poor Nigerian woman who was able to afford the services of Ambaby from having previously worked as a gem smuggler.
But prior to the episode's events, Susan was transporting DJ when she accidentally injured and killed her. Panicked, Susan dragged DJ's body to the curb, which resulted in her head being cracked open. Susan intended to leave DJ's body, but when she saw a street sweeper approaching, she was forced to act as though she had just discovered the body. She later claimed to detectives Laura Diamond and Jake Broderick that she had seen a man driving a van dump the body on the curb.
Towards the end of the episode, however, Susan's secret was uncovered when Jake questioned Dr. Nick, who provided him with the email address of the nurse who had been in charge of DJ at the time of her death. Jake recognized the address as the one Susan provided to him, revealing her as DJ's murderer. Laura called Susan to come into the police station under the pretense of doing a lineup, only to instead reveal that they had uncovered her work with Ambaby and her role in DJ's death, having found her DNA on DJ's ankles. Susan at first tried to deny everything before eventually confessing, saying that she hadn't intended to kill DJ. But Laura admonished Susan for leaving DJ to die before having two officers place her under arrest.
