Courtney Meisenger (Motive)

Courtney Meisenger (Kristine Cofsky) is the main villainess from "The Dead Name," the second episode of Motive's fourth and final season (airdate March 29, 2016). She is the owner and operator of a suburban bakery and catering business.
Courtney's backstory revealed that she was once married to a man named Andrew Seltzer, who she dated in high school. Three months after the wedding, Andrew died in a boating accident, though it was later revealed that Courtney helped fake Andrew's death so he could undergo gender reassignment surgery. Andrew Seltzer became Avery McLennan, and later Avery Bowman when she married famous pro football player Russell Bowman. Unbeknownst to Avery, Courtney took out a $1 million life insurance policy on her, with the payout allowing Courtney to start her business.
In the episode's events, Courtney and Avery were being blackmailed by Russell's longtime friend, Gary Camper, which led to Avery withdrawing two installments of $20,000 to pay their blackmailer. Not wanting to continue being in the blackmailer's debt, Avery informed Courtney that she planned on coming out as transgender; a plan that Courtney disagreed with. Courtney later met Avery at a deserted road with another payout, only for Avery to further her stance on coming out. She later lashed out at Avery and reminded her of everything she did for her, and it was at that moment that Courtney came clean about the life insurance policy. Courtney stated that she had no intentions on giving up the life she built, while placing her hands all over Avery's face. 
It turned out that Courtney's hands were covered with peanut oil, and knowing full well about Avery's peanut allergy, she placed her hands on her mouth as part of her plan to kill her, after saying that she was sorry that she was making her do it. Avery rushed for her epi-pen, only for the evil Courtney to take it and throw it away. Avery drove off, but she died right before her car crashed. After learning that Gary was the blackmailer, the villainess went into Gary's home and killed him as well. Angie Flynn later figured out Avery's true identity and Courtney's connection, leading to an interrogation at Courtney's shop. Courtney told her backstory and confessed to Avery's murder, and she was arrested (off-screen). It was later revealed that Gary's blackmail centered around his belief that Avery was having an affair with Courtney, and he had no idea that Avery was transgender.
