Kelly Donovon (Hawaii Five-0)

Kelly Donovon (Conor Leslie) is the hidden main villainess from "Ma Lalo o ka 'ili (Beneath the Surface)," episode 4.17 of Hawaii Five-0 (airdate March 14, 2014). She is a high school student who schemed to have her father Russell murdered in order to collect his insurance premium. To initiate the scheme, Kelly manipulated Tommy Fa'aloa, a mechanic with a criminal past, into believing Russell was abusing her. The manipulation resulted in Tommy killing Russell after breaking into the Donovon's home and escaping with Kelly, intending to rescue her from domestic abuse. Unbeknownst to Tommy, Kelly was making him appear to be a burglar who killed her father and abducted her after a botched robbery.
Steve McGarrett and his team initially believed Kelly was a kidnapping victim in a burglary gone wrong, but their pursuit of Tommy led to them also learning about Kelly's reports of abuse. Through further investigation, Kono Kalakaua discovered that Kelly had doctored photos depicting her beaten and realized Kelly was the mastermind behind her father's death. This information arrived too late to save Tommy, however, who was shot to death by the police when Kelly tricked them into believing he was threatening her life.
Kelly was subsequently placed in police custody, where she feigned ignorance of her crimes to McGarrett and Kalakaua. Unmoved, the officers informed Kelly that her scheme would have not succeeded, even if they had not learned she was behind it. Kalakaua revealed that the insurance policy had expired because Kelly's father chose to move his finances away from it in order to pay for her college education. Kelly refused to believe them, but McGarrett provided her with the documents confirming that she would not be receiving insurance money from her father's death. The two officers left Kelly handcuffed to a chair, forced to recognize that she gained nothing from her crimes.
