Catherine Reynolds (NCIS)

Catherine Reynolds (Brigid Brannagh) is the true main villainess from "Conspiracy Theory," episode 2.19 of NCIS (airdate April 12, 2005). She is a patient at a psychiatric hospital that also had Petty Officer Jessica Smith as one of its patients.
Though it was never revealed why she was committed, Catherine was revealed as being very flirtatious, as she came on to Tony DiNozzo while NCIS was at the hospital after Jessica's psychotic break. Jessica was revealed as the illicit lover of Navy Captain Ross Vetter, and at some point, Jessica informed fellow Petty Officer Lynn Simons that Vetter had $800,000 in kickback money, which was planned for the couple following Vetter's divorce from his wife Audrey. However, Lynn was Catherine's lover, and she told Catherine about what Jessica told her, resulting in the couple planning to get the money for themselves.
The plan had the villainous couple killing Jessica by smothering her with a pillow, after which they set up the murder as a suicide. Catherine was interviewed by Timothy McGee regarding Jessica, and (while flirting with him) revealed the details of Jessica affair and that Lynn was told about it. Her statements began Lynn's reveal as a villainess, which was cemented when she was spotted with the money later in the episode. The couple reunited and kissed each other in Lynn's car, but at that moment, the evil Catherine pointed a gun at her lover, as she planned to kill Lynn and take the money for herself. It was at this point that Kate Todd arrived with Tony and held the pair at gunpoint, prompting an angry Catherine to fire her gun. However, the villainess was frustrated to learn that the gun was not loaded, and afterwards, both Catherine and Lynn were arrested.
