Greedy villainess Amber Kazinsky
Amber Kazinsky (Cynthia Erivo) is the main villainess from Poker Face's second season opener, "The Game is a Foot" (airdate May 8, 2025).
Backstory and Introduction[]
Amber Kazinsky's backstory revealed that she was a child actress, having started on the sitcom, Kid Cop Nights, with Amber taking turns with her identical twin sisters Bebe, CeCe, and Delia (all played by Erivo in the present day) playing the lead role on the show. The sisters were managed by their mother, Norma Kazinsky, who overworked the girls and took control of her daughter's royalties. While the other three sisters left and lived their own lives, Amber remained with Norma, with the episode's introduction seeing Amber at the house tending to a dying Norma, who berates Amber and accuses her of only staying with Norma for monetary reasons, with Norma revealing that she wasn't leaving anything to Amber, who she deemed a disappointment.
Amber badgers Paul Fletcher, the family's lawyer, about the will, with Paul revealing that none of the four girls were named, and also revealing that all of Norma's wealth would go to a woman named Felicity Price. Amber obsessively tracks Felicity (also played by Erivo) and is stunned to see that she looks exactly like Amber, revealing that Felicity is the identical sister of the girls.
Heel Turn[]
Amber posing as Felicity Price
Amber gets to know Felicity, but secretly, Amber decided to make herself look exactly like Felicity as part of a plan to get her mother's wealth. Amber appeared to Norma, who insults her new look, only for Norma to take her last breath, with Amber taking away the emergency call button and coldly watching her mother die. Afterwards, Amber sends a video message to her sisters mourning her mother's passing, and also sends a text to Felicity setting up a meeting. Upon arriving, Felicity is shocked to see Amber's look, which is followed by Amber lashing out at Felicity; accusing Felicity of having what should be hers before attacking Felicity and shoving her over the cliff and to her death. The villainess then sent a video message portraying herself as being suicidal, but just as she was about to look down at Felicity's body, she discovered that Felicity had a prosthetic left leg.
The prosthetic wrecked Amber's plan, so she moved Felicity's body to the train tracks just as a train was coming, looking to portray "Amber" as having the leg severed by the moving train. Bebe, CeCe, and Delia found "Amber," with Delia being accompanied by Charlie Cale, who was working at an apple orchard alongside Delia. The sisters appeared at the house for the will reading, with Amber posing as Felicity and introducing herself as the sole heiress. As Charlie detected falsehoods from "Felicity," Amber presented forms for the other three to sign, promising $150,000 to each sister in exchange for not using her. While Bebe and CeCe signed, Delia refused, which led to Amber later changing out of her Felicity guise and posing as Delia after Delia left the house. As Delia, Amber signed the form and deceived Charlie, but changed back into Felicity once the real Delia returned.
Charlie confronted Amber, who lashed out at Charlie and continued to claim that she was Felicity, but while talking with Delia (who was, despite being outraged that her signature was forged on the form, considering taking the easy money) both women looked at Felicity's paintings and learned that they all had something to do with a foot, which included the pair discovering that Felicity had a prosthetic left leg. Charlie and Delia confronted "Felicity" in front of the other sisters, with Charlie reveling that "Felicity" was Amber, while mentioning Felicity's prosthetic and the fact that Amber killed the real Felicity. Amber was asked to show her left leg, with the villainess knocking on the leg and later berating Charlie for the accusation.
However, Charlie later grabbed an award that the sisters won for the show and dropped the sharp end on Amber's left foot, with Amber feigning feeling no pain until blood squirted out and Amber collapsed in pain. Amber later fretted over her plan failing, stating that she did everything right before a pair of police officers arrived and arrested Amber.
