Morgan Bloom (The Closer)

Morgan Bloom (Beth Broderick) is a villainess from "Head Over Heels", episode 2.07 of The Closer (airdate July 24, 2006). She is the owner of Opulent Films, an adult film company which had Chris Mundy as one of their actors, performing under the name Buck Shot.
Mundy was found murdered and his body cut to pieces post-mortem, and it was revealed in his autopsy that the victim had HIV. As the episode progresses, it is revealed that Morgan's son, Oscar, killed Mundy, later claiming self-defense. Oscar claimed Mundy had been high on heroin during the confrontation. Johnson informs Oscar that Mundy had tested negative for heroin and says Oscar killed Mundy to cover up the truth: that he covered up Mundy's blood tests. Oscar confirmed that a cover-up was the motive, but said his mother was the one who masked the truth about Chris Mundy's HIV status.
As Oscar revealed, four months prior, Morgan decided to cast some native Brazilian girls in a film with Mundy because they were cheap talent. However, in the company's rush to get production going, she opted to skip checking their HIV status, only finding out a month later that she had gotten Mundy infected after FITS, the lab that tested Mundy's blood, notified her. Not wanting to lose Opulent Films' biggest star and wanting to continue making films and lots of money off him, she decided to bribe FITS to cover up Mundy's HIV diagnosis and continued casting him in her films. As a result of Morgan's greedy and thoughtless actions, Mundy wound up infecting a dozen female co-stars, as well as his wife, Annalisa, mother of their two young children. Oscar revealed everything after his callous mother gave him up as Mundy's killer, also saying that it was only after learning about the murder that she confessed to getting Mundy infected and the subsequent cover-up. When Brenda informed Morgan about Oscar's statements, Morgan claimed Oscar was a liar. Brenda then showed her photos of 13 women who were infected because of Morgan's actions -- a dozen actresses and Annalisa Mundy. Brenda then informed Morgan she would be arrested and charged with 13 counts of assault with intent to commit bodily harm.
