Peri Delancey (Elementary)

Peri Delancey (Noelle Beck) is a villainess from "Poison Pen," episode 2.04 of Elementary (airdate October 17, 2013). She is the wife of wealthy businessman Titus Delancey and the stepmother to Titus' sons, Graham and Zack.
Titus was found murdered via nitroglycerin poisoning, and during the investigation, Peri was encountered by NYPD regarding her husband's death. During the investigation's progression, however, Peri was revealed as a greedy villainess, as she had been not only planning to divorce Titus, but she was also looking to get a more lucrative settlement. A prenuptial agreement stated that Peri would get more in a divorce if Titus was unfaithful, so she hired a private investigator to look into any of the women in his life, including their nanny, Anne Barker.
Peri's hopes for indiscretions were dashed, as it turned out that Titus never cheated on her. However, the PI did uncover Anne's real name as Abigail Spencer, and that she was acquitted of killing her father with nitroglycerin. After learning about Anne/Abigail's past, the evil Peri decided to use the info in her benefit. The villainess met with Dr. Phillip Malone and bought nitroglycerin from him, as she planned to kill Titus and set up Abigail as the killer due to her past. However, while Peri planned to kill Titus, she didn't go through with it, but Graham would do so (for a much different motive).
Peri's reveal came while she was being interrogated by Captain Thomas Gregson, Detective Marcus Bell, and Joan Watson (all with Peri's lawyer present). She stated that she had met with Dr. Malone, who revealed to have been arrested in the past for illegally distributing prescription meds, and it was after this that her lawyer stated that Peri would testify against Malone if no charges were brought against her. The charges were revealed as attempted murder, leading to Peri admitting to planning to kill Titus, but later backing out. Ironically, Peri planning to kill Titus served as her alibi for the events of TItus' murder, but Joan later revealed that Peri was arrested for drug charges, and that she'd be serving six months in jail.
