Dr. Jane Teres (Off the Rails)

Dr. Jane Teres (Andrea Cirie) is a hidden villainess from the 2017 Lifetime film Off the Rails (alternately titled Derailed and Driven Off the Rails; airdate March 26, 2017). She is introduced as the psychiatrist of main protagonist Nicole Barrow, a Russell Sage College geography professor who was suffering from memory loss as a result of a train accident that took place in the film's opening scenes.
It was also disclosed later on that Jane had conspired with Nicole's husband Mark (a prospective United States Attorney General and the film's main antagonist) to cover up his role in the disappearance of Nicole's illicit boyfriend Luc Cormier. To elaborate, Mark found out about their affair and confronted Luc at his house, which led to a struggle that culminated in what appeared to be the latter's demise; the end of the film unveiled that he ultimately survived. He then called his wife's psychiatrist and asked her to help him cover the "murder" up. Teres turned evil when she agreed to do so, and after the aforementioned accident, she secretly kept tabs on Nicole in order to make sure that she wouldn't remember the truth. Her villainous reveal came after she had a phone conversation with the protagonist (which in turn happened after the latter's encounter with Luc's ex-girlfriend Jillian Borsic), as she was shown in her office instructing Mark to fix his problem with her.
In the film's climax, Mark invited Jane to the Barrow residence, where they both attempted to manipulate Nicole into believing that she killed Luc when he wanted to end their relationship. However, Nicole saw through the deception and went into the bathroom to call the police, leading to Mark knocking out his wife and Teres assisting him in their attempt to murder her by burying her alive under the house's expanded deck. The protagonist later regained consciousness and knocked the merciless villainess out before being chased by Mark back into said house, where she killed him in self-defense by stabbing him in his neck.
Jane was last shown being tended to by paramedics. Her fate after that was never revealed, but it can be assumed that she was arrested offscreen for her alignment with her patient's nefarious husband.
