Monica Wyatt (Castle)

Monica Wyatt (Liz Vassey) is the hidden main villainess from "Slice of Death," episode 3.20 of Castle (airdate April 4, 2011). She is a real estate agent and the lover of reporter Gordon Burns.
However, as revealed later on, Monica was really a drug queen, having moved from Los Angeles to New York to start her heroin-selling business, while (fittingly) taking her name from a heroin addict who died in Los Angeles. She masked her drug profits as real estate holdings, and her ruse included a claim that she sold homes to many customers--whose names were all characters in film noir movies--as well as creating a myth that regarding a notorious drug dealer named Cavallo. About Gordon, there was no love at all; in fact, Gordon was on the trail of Monica and her drug dealing. 
This led to Gordon's young daughter being killed to warn him to stay away from her and her business, but it was only a temporary solution, as Gordon was closing in on Monica as she was operating out of the properties that she was selling. With that, Gordon was killed by Harley, which he does at an ATM and later placed his body inside a pizza over at Nick's. Monica was later interviewed by Richard Castle and Kate Beckett about Gordon, and she made the claim that she was Gordon's girlfriend. But later on, a photo of Monica found outside one of the homes led to Beckett returning to her home, where Monica was the victim of a break-in and attack.
After Harley was identified and caught, however, Castle began to realize that Monica was the true mastermind running the operation. The villainess was on her way out, flashing a sinister smirk as she believed that she was being let off , only for Beckett to catch her at the elevator and interrogate her. Her entire plot was exposed by Beckett and Castle, with Monica denying everything. It was also known that Monica staged the attack by beating herself up to pin Harley as the ringleader, and realizing that she was caught and revealed, Monica demanded a lawyer, after which she was arrested (off-screen).
