Melanie Lambert (Unforgettable)

Melanie Lambert (Jessica Phillips) is the hidden villainess of "Reunion", the Season 2 finale of Unforgettable (airdate May 9, 2014). She was a former high school classmate of Carrie Wells and the former girlfriend of quarterback Hank Bronski.
During their sophomore year, Hank and Melanie broke up, and it was at Hank's graduation party that Melanie got into an argument with Bella Crebs (Hank's new girlfriend) after seeing her wearing Hank's denim jacket. Later on, Melanie decided to take Hank's best friend, Tommy Garland, to the local make-out spot to make him jealous. On the way there, however, Melanie spotted who she believed to be Bella walking by the road. Drunk and angry at Bella, Melanie swerved and struck "Bella" with her car, killing her.
It was only after getting out of the car with Tommy that Melanie saw that the person she hit wasn't Bella, but outcast student Vicky Lanister, who had found Hank's jacket after Bella and Melanie's fight and left the party wearing it. Panicked, Melanie took the jacket off of Vicky's body and gave it to Tommy to get rid of. But instead, Tommy buried the jacket under the porch of his house, and twenty-two years later, approached Melanie at their 20-year reunion to attempt to blackmail her with her secret. Instead, the evil Melanie attacked Tommy in the hotel bathroom, bludgeoning him to death with a claw hammer and deleting the picture of the jacket that Tommy had on his phone.
While investigating the murder with Al Burns, Carrie realized the connection to Vicky's years-old death and the fact that Melanie had mistakenly killed her while believing her to be Bella, with blue paint transfer on Vicky's clothing matching the color of the car belonging to Melanie's aunt. Carrie confronted Melanie at the memorial service being held for Tommy, with Melanie initially refusing to admit guilt. But once Carrie claimed that she believed that Hank had killed Tommy and had been colluding with him to blackmail Melanie, the villainess decided to use that as an opportunity to get away with her crime. After being given a wire by Carrie and Al and falsely promised immunity in Vicky's death, Melanie got Hank's room key and went up to his room, finding the jacket hanging in the closet. But as Melanie pulled out the hammer she'd used to kill Tommy and prepared to plant it in the dresser, the lights turned on and showed that Carrie and Al were waiting for her. As Melanie was arrested for Vicky and Tommy's murder, Carrie revealed to a shocked Melanie that the "immunity" she was promised was a lie.
