Emily Burrows (Body of Proof)

Emily Burrows (Justina Machado) is the main villainess from "Lazarus Man," episode 2.04 of Body of Proof (airdate October 11, 2011). She is the Chief of Staff for Councilwoman Jill Bennett, who had spent $50 million in taxpayer dollars to rebuild a nearby school.
However, Paul Crawford, who worked for the Bennett campaign, discovered that the school's land was riddled with toxic waste, and planned to report his findings. Emily learned about Paul's discovery, and knowing that the scandal would ruin both her and Bennett's political careers, she enlisted contractor Rick Kavanaugh to kill Paul. Kavanaugh shot Paul to death and also shot Paul's roommate, Alex Grant, who survived.
When Alex was found, he was disoriented and mumbled something about a carburetor, which ended up revealing Emily as the villainess. Chemicals used by Paul ended up on Emily--a discovery that was made by Megan Hunt while Bennett was being interrogated. Realizing that she was caught, the evil Emily attempted to escape, but after seeing Kavanaugh in police custody, Emily informed Megan and Kate Murphy that she wanted to make a deal; fingering Kavanaugh as the actual trigger man. The villainess stated that she had Paul killed to save her political career, as well as Bennett's, and after this, Emily was handcuffed and arrested. Emily went past Bennett as she was taken into custody, proclaiming that she did what she did because she had faith in Bennett.
