Melanie Ford (Psych)

Melanie Ford (Jordan Baker) is a villainess from Psych episode 3.05, "Disco Didn't Die, It Was Murdered!" (airdate August 15, 2008).
==Backstory==
Melanie Ford is the wife of Derek Ford, and some time in the 1970s, they were both part of a radical group known as Soldiers Against Government (SAG), with fellow members Dr. Richard Colbert and Eugene Franks. However, wanting to get out of the group because they were in over their heads, Melanie and Derek decided to collude with Colbert to set up Eugene; with Colbert masterminding a plot to bomb police headquarters, while Melanie and Derek planted the explosives in the trunk of Eugene's car. Henry Spencer, then a detective on the force, arrested Eugene, allowing the three remaining members to move on with their own lives.
==Events==
In the beginning of the episode, it was announced that Eugene's conviction was one in a number being overturned, and when the Fords heard about Eugene's early release, they were in fear. When they were encountered by Shawn and Gus, Melanie and Derek continued their ruse and painted Eugene as a violent and vengeful criminal who would go after them now that he was out. In actuality, the villainous couple feared that Eugene would reveal the truth, and they also feared that Colbert would talk due to guilt. The couple went to the university, and once there, the evil Melanie smothered Colbert with chemicals while Derek held him at bay. They later planted a bomb in Eugene's home and planned to kill him as well.
Shawn revealed the couple's villainy while Eugene was being arrested for having the explosives in his home, doing so after noticing Melanie's hand--the cut she claimed to have earlier was suddenly gone. Shawn uncovered the couple setting up Eugene and then planning to kill him after they already killed Colbert; claims that they denied. At that moment, Shawn activated the bomb and stated that only the person who built it could deactivate it. Derek quickly shut off the bomb, and following this, both he and Melanie were arrested.
