Lydia Marsh (Ransom)

Lydia Marsh (Nola Augustson) was a villainess from "The Fawn," episode 2.08 of Ransom (airdate June 2, 2018). She was a botanist at a prison which had notorious serial killer Vincent Keough as an inmate.
Lydia tended to Vincent's plants habitually, and as time went by, she developed an affinity for Vincent that eventually became a crush. While encountered by Maxine Carlson and Oliver Yates regarding the abduction of James Smith, who was taken by someone copying Vincent's MO, Lydia's affection for Vincent was shown, as she spoke fondly of him and in apparent support of him. After Eric Beaumont learned about a deeper connection between the two, Lydia was suspected of being the copycat.
However, in a twist, Eric and Zara Hallam's inspection of the Vincent's letters revealed that the copycat was male, not female, and it was revealed to be Dale McNamara, the assumingly estranged son of Vincent. The reveal came when Dale attacked Maxine after Eric called her and warned her, but elsewhere, Vincent took down a group of police using deadly nightshade. The attack took place in the greenhouse, and it was there that Lydia made her reveal as a conspirator, as she appeared and held Oliver Yates at gunpoint. Oliver was placed inside a van which also had James sealed up in a coffin, while the evil Lydia joined Vincent and Dale. Later on, Vincent expressed his disappointment in Lydia for her actually giving away parts of Vincent's plan, and despite Lydia profession her adoration for Vincent, the villainess ended up shot and killed by Vincent.
