The evil Allison Kidman
Allison Kidman (Margo Harshman) is a villainess from "The Fury in the Jury," episode 9.09 of Bones (airdate November 15, 2013). She is the younger sister of soccer star Peter Kidman, who was on trial for the murder of his wife, Charlene Kidman.
Allison was shown on the stand tearfully testifying in defense of her brother, claiming that Peter loved Charlene and wouldn't have killed her. The episode revealed that Peter's longtime friend, Christopher Barnes, was originally set to testify on Peter's behalf, only for a story to come out that Barnes would switch sides and testify for the prosecution. Later on, Seeley Booth is called to the scene of a murder on a beach, with the body being revealed as Barnes.
The episode's investigation revealed that Barnes was at the pond meeting a girl who only went by the name "Kinky Kelly," leading to her email being traced. It was revealed that a library computer was used to send the emails to Barnes, and security camera footage revealed that the user was none other than Allison. The reveal indicated that Peter really did kill Charlene, who Allison (according to Lance Sweets) despised. After learning that Barnes had switched sides, Allison--not wanting her brother to be locked up--decided to kill Barnes, beginning with setting up a meeting with Barnes posing as Kinky Kelly. After Barnes arrived, the evil Allison attempted to kill Barnes, but when she couldn't, she called Peter, who beat up Barnes and drowned him.
The sinister siblings' actions resulted in Peter being acquitted, but after the footage was uncovered, Allison was interrogated (with her and Peter's lawyer, Martin Zard, present). Zard ordered Allison not to talk, leading to Sweets attempting to get through to the villainess on an emotional level. Allison teared up in response to Sweets mentioning her love and devotion to her brother, but she doesn't speak, after which Allison is handcuffed and arrested for her role in Barnes' murder.
