Nicky Atkins (Perception)

Nicky Atkins (Jaimie Alexander) is the main villainess from "Messenger," episode 1.05 of Perception (airdate August 6, 2012).
Nicky Atkins appeared as a member of Haven House, a religious cult; though she was actually the mastermind of a monetary scam. She colluded with IRS Agent Ethan Kendrick to cook up a fake school in Afghanistan, taking countless charitable donations, while also engaging in a romantic relationship with Ethan. However, Jared Baker--a drug addict who joined the house looking to get clean--had figured out that the school was fake, and with that, Nicky killed Jared to keep her scheme from unraveling.
Part of Nicky's scheme was engaging in a relationship with Greg Jensen, the brother of Kyle Jensen (who claimed to hear God's voice; this was revealed to be caused by a tumor), while also planning to frame Shane Flannery--a disgruntled former member--for the murder. The villainess later caught Kyle listening in on her conversation with Ethan, leading her to attempt to kill Kyle. The assault placed Kyle in the hospital, and during this period, the evil Nicky attempted to convince Daniel Pierce to leave her alone with Kyle, mainly so she could finish the job.
Pierce caught on to Nicky's murderous scheme when he unplugged his monitor to make Nicky believe that Kyle is braindead. Seeing Nicky's lack of concern outed her as a villainess, and her reveal came when Pierce and Moretti caught her with the ill-gotten money. After Ethan outed Nicky as the mastermind, Nicky attempted to convince Pierce and Moretti that they were doing Satan's work by accusing her, but to no avail. It was also revealed that the perceived plan for Nicky and Ethan to escape to the Maldives was changed to Nicky planning to ditch Ethan and head to Rio. Nicky was arrested (off-screen) for killing Jared and her attempt to kill Kyle.
