Talia (The Defenders)

Talia (Camilla Luddington) is a villainess from "Nevada v. Wayne", episode 1.12 of The Defenders (airdate January 12, 2011). She was a member of the jury serving on the case of Alexei Nemerov, who was on trial for attempting to abduct his son Sasha from his ex-wife Kelli Lazine and flee with him to Russia. Defense lawyer Pete Kaczmarek also served on the juror, with him and Talia forming a rapport of sorts over their shared failed attempts to get out of jury duty.
After the trial concluded and the jury convened, however, Talia remained the only juror favoring Alexei, despite Pete's attempts to win her over. It was soon afterwards that Pete retrieved Talia's purse for her when she almost forgot it in the jury room, with Pete inadvertently looking inside and seeing a set of car keys. Realizing this contradicted Talia's earlier claims to not have a car, Pete became suspicious of Talia's true reason for being on the jury and worked with his assistant Zoey Waters to uncover the truth.
Their plan had Zoey bumping into Talia outside a food truck while carrying a purse of the same brand as Talia's, allowing her to swap the purses so Pete could look through Talia's. Talia quickly caught on to the ploy, but not before Pete managed to retrieve Talia's car keys and see they were for a car from Peterson's Used Car Land--the former workplace of Alexei Nemerov. This would serve as Talia's villainous reveal, as Pete later revealed to his law partner Nick Morelli that Alexei had given Talia a car in exchange for hanging the jury on his case. After learning about Talia's villainous collusion with Alexei, Pete reported Talia to Judge Gelineau, resulting in Talia being rejected from the jury and (presumably) facing charges off-screen for her actions.
