Lola Abano (iZombie)

Lola Abano (Judy Reyes) is the hidden villainess of "Brother, Can You Spare a Brain?", episode 1.02 of iZombie (airdate March 24, 2015). She was the wife of renowned artist Javier Abano, with whom she had an open relationship, and was close with Javier's best friend and art dealer Artie Fiss. Lola appeared heartbroken to return to her and Javier's loft to find him murdered, and her show of grief at first made Liv think she was innocent, despite Clive's suspicions.
He was later proven right, as Lola had in fact murdered Javier. After finding out that Javier had had an affair with Artie's 18-year-old daughter and gotten her pregnant, Lola was furious. Before going out to dinner with Artie, Lola murdered Javier by stabbing him in the eye with a paintbrush. When she arrived at the restaurant late, Artie noticed how disheveled she was along with a blood stain on her cheek, but stayed silent during the investigation due to being in love with her.
Lola's villainous reveal came during a posthumous art show being held in Javier's honor, where Liv confronted Artie on her suspicions that he killed Javier after learning of his affair with his daughter. But during that confrontation, Ravi concluded that the killer could have been someone shorter than Javier who was standing on the raised floor portion of the loft. This caused Clive to realize Lola was the murderer, along with the fact that she'd lied about her earlier claim of not wanting to have children with Javier. Artie also stepped forward and came clean about what he witnessed on the night of Javier's death, angered that Lola had used him to get away with her crime. Cornered, the evil Lola confessed to killing her husband, revealing that while she hadn't disapproved of Javier's many affairs, she was angered by the fact that Javier was planning to leave her to start a family with a teenager. Lola was then arrested and handcuffed by Clive.
