Annie mentioning the loud music earlier ended up serving as her reveal, and during her interrogation with Pierce and Kate, Annie told them everything: her confrontations with Christina and Karl, as well as confessing to killing Christina, who she blasted for being inconsiderate (in Annie's mind) regarding her goal to pass the MCATs. She even boasted that she did pass, right before she was arrested (off-screen) for killing Christina.

Alicia Minault (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries)

**Alicia Minault** (Gabrielle Rose) is the hidden main villainess from the 2016 Hallmark film, *The Julius House: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery*, the fourth film of the *Aurora Teagarden* series (airdate October 16, 2016). She is the sister of Melba Totino and the maternal great-aunt to Melba's granddaughter, Charity Julius.

Following the murders of Charity's parents, T.C. and Hope (which were committed by Charity's boyfriend, Harley Dimmoch), Alicia then masterminded the murder of her own sister, Melba, which Charity committed, with the result seeing them inherit the Julius family fortune. Following Melba's murder, the evil Alicia posed as her sister and informed police regarding the disappearance of her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, with Charity hiding out with Harley. In the time that passed, Alicia sold her house to Aurora Teagarden, all while evading questions regarding the case.

After the bodies were found in the house's attic, Alicia's machinations began to unravel. During the autopsy report, it was revealed that while two of the bodies were those belonging to Hope and T.C. Julius, the third body was Charity's, but an elderly woman's. Sally Allison's search revealed that the woman posing as Melba Totino was indeed her evil sister, Alicia Minault, and while Martin Bartell tracked Harley, he spotted him with Alicia. The villainess was informed by Harley about Aurora finding Charity, and she sent Harley back to Charity's house to kill Aurora, while Alicia entered a cab. After the villainous couple was subdued, Alicia's cab passed by while Charity and Harley were placed under arrest. She frantically ordered the driver to pass by, but Lynn Smith (who worked the case when it was originally reported) stopped the cab and placed Alicia under arrest. In defeat, Alicia snarled at Aurora and stated that she should have never sold the house to her.

Alicia Spencer (American Horror Story: Coven)

**Alicia Spencer** (Mare Winningham) was the villainess from "The Replacements," the third episode of *American Horror Story: Coven* (airdate October 23, 2013). She was the mother of Kyle Spencer, one of the season's main characters.

Alicia's villainous backstory reveals that after her husband (Kyle's father) left them, she began an incestuous relationship with Kyle. Early in the episode, Alicia was visited by Zoe regarding Kyle, with Alicia stating that she was on the verge of suicide upon hearing about Kyle's death (which was at the hands of Madison Montgomery). Kyle had been resurrected by Zoe and Madison, using the body parts of Kyle and his other fallen fraternity brothers, and he was sent back to Alicia by Zoe. Alicia was elated to be reunited with her son, but had noticed his physical differences.

It was later in the episode that Alicia's incestuous persona was revealed, as she laid next to Kyle in his bed and began kissing him, while placing her hand down his crotch as Kyle was crying. Later on, the evil Alicia confronted Kyle and demanded to know why he hadn't been talking to her (unaware that Kyle's resurrection had hampered his speech), while callously defending her abusive ways. The villainess attempted to seduce her son, only for Kyle to shove his mother away and scream, "NO!"; his first word since his resurrection. Kyle later grabbed a trophy from his shelf and bludgeoned Alicia to death.

Bethany Robertson (Christmas Catch)

**Bethany Robertson** (Genelle Williams) is the hidden main villainess from the 2018 film, *Christmas Catch* (airdate December 2, 2018).

## Introduction

Special Agent Robertson was introduced as being with the FBI, and she also introduced to Captain Bennett as being on the case regarding a jewelry heist, which was believed to be committed by Carson Mills. Detective Mackenzie "Mack" Bennett (the captain's daughter and the film's main protagonist) had actually encountered Carson during a job and developed an affinity for him, and upon learning this, Robertson coerced Mack to go on a date with Carson as part of an undercover sting, which Mack willingly accepts.

Their first date went well, with both Mack and Carson bonding with each other; however, Robertson pressed Mack to go on a second date to gain more information on the heist, which included notorious safecracker David Sanders, as well as Carson's ex-wife, Bethany--with Robertson informing Mack to ask Carson more questions about his ex. As Carson informed Mack, the heist involved the theft of a diamond reindeer, and regarding Bethany, she was described as someone who enjoyed her life of crime, and managed to get away when police were called.

## Heel Turn/Reveal

    Mack's cover was blown when Carson informed her that Bethany called him and revealed Mack as a cop, and afterwards, Robertson lashed out at Mack for revealing herself as a detective to Carson. The case was apparently kiboshed, but while passing by Carson's home, Mack saw that Carson had been attacked, leading Mack to enter the house and end up encountered by David. Robertson appeared at the house, with Mack stating to David that she would help take him in; however, Robertson began turning heel and gave a sinister glare towards Mack. David and Carson revealed to Mack that Robertson was actually Bethany, the latter's ex-wife, and afterwards, Bethany's heel turn was cemented when she boasted that David helped forged documents for her, while commenting about how easy it was to fool Mack's mother.

The villainess commented that she was only looking for the diamond reindeer, responding to Carson's comment about not having the diamond by revealing that she hid it inside a decoration that Carson's mother gave him. After smashing the decoration and uncovering the diamond, Bethany answered Mack's question about Carson's involvement in the heist by mocking her ex-husband and stating that Carson was the one who made the anonymous tip to the police. Afterwards, the evil Bethany unleashed her gun and stated that she had planned on killing Mack, Carson, and even David before getting away, but her escape was thwarted by Captain Bennett, who arrived with Mack's partner, Reid, and arrested the villainess.

Ashlyn (The Hitchhiker)

**Ashlyn** (Tammy Lauren) was the main villainess from "Dark Wishes," episode 5.03 of *The Hitchhiker* (airdate July 1, 1989). She was a nurse living with married couple Henri and Regine.

Ashlyn was hired to tend to Regine, who was ailing, and the episode revealed that Regine and Ashlyn had formed a friendship. However, Ashlyn was in love with Henri, and it was also revealed that they engaged in an affair during Regine's illness. At some point, Ashlyn turned heel by planning to kill Regine, using the services of Samai, a shaman, in her murderous plan--which would result in her being with Henri.

The villainess stole one of Regine's rings and used it as payment to give to Samai in exchange for a lethal drug, which she later poured into Regine's medication. Regine felt the effects of the poison while Ashlyn and Henri made love, though Regine survived the attempt. Ashlyn later took more of Regine's jewelry, but was caught by Henri, who wanted her out of the house. However, Regine defended Ashlyn by falsely claiming that she gave it to her, while unaware of Ashlyn's evil plans.

Later on, the evil Ashlyn handed the earring to Samai, while venting over the drug not killing Regine. She later voiced her hatred of Regine and stated that her death was the only way she and Henri could be together, with Samai giving Ashlyn a stronger dose and adding that Ashlyn's hatred could help her in her villainous quest. The villainess laced Regine's medication with the drug, and gave it to Regine, who refused to take it before finally acquiescing. Just like before, Regine started to feel the effects while Ashlyn and Henri made love, but this time, Ashlyn ended up dead, as the final scenes revealed that Regine had aligned with Samai in killing her villainous nurse.

As Babs made to leave with Stewie and Meg to attend the ball at the castle, Lois came to join them in a dress made by her mice friends. However, Babs refused to let her come, calling her a “scumbag nobody” before ordering her daughters to rip the dress apart. The evil Babs cackled wickedly at the scene as Lois ran away crying.

At the ball, the villainess presented her daughters to Peter (Prince Charming), who insulted them before bumping into Lois (who had been aided by Mayor West as her Fairy Godmother). When Lois ran away following the chiming of midnight, she left her glass slipper behind. As in the usual fairy tale, Peter went around the kingdom to find Cinderella. Although Babs tried to pass Stewie off as the owner of the slipper, Lois revealed herself as the true owner, much to Babs’ shocked chagrin.
Audrey (Numb3rs)

Andrea Barton (Numb3rs)

**Andrea Barton** (Kelly Overton) is a hidden villainess from "Hollywood Homicide," episode 4.02 of *Numb3rs* (airdate October 5, 2007).

Andrea Barton was introduced as a murder victim, only for the actual victim to be an identical woman named Tracy Meade (also played by Overton). Both women were escorts working for Leslie Dennis, and regarding Andrea and Tracy's similar looks, the latter of the two got plastic surgery to look like the former, doing so to pass themselves as twins. The FBI's investigation later included another murder, Logan Oliver, with Don Eppes and Liz warner finding Logan dead after Liz received a call from Logan regarding a meeting.

It was also believed that Tracy was involved in a blackmail scheme that included DVD piracy, but Charlie Eppes' mathematical analysis ended up revealing that the actual blackmailer was Andrea, who ended up interrogated by Don and Megan Reeves. Andrea revealed that Tracy had learned some information about up-and-coming actor Brett Chandler, and after being threatened with charges with accessory to murder as well as blackmail, she ended up revealing the secret. Four years prior, while Brett was celebrating a job with his brother Brian, he played around with a gun and accidentally shot Brian to death. After being informed about the incident by Tracy, Andrea turned heel and blackmailed Brett into delivering pirated DVDs of pre-released movies, doing so in exchange for her silence.

In her scheme, the evil Andrea communicated with Brett via email, and after the villainess revealed everything, Brett made his own confession, adding that only Logan and his other friend, Josh Ryan, had known. It was also uncovered that Mark Green, Brett's manager, had also known, and that he killed Logan and Tracy to cover up the truth. As for Andrea, she was most likely arrested and charged (off-screen) with blackmail.
