“ | It wasn't fair. Everybody said I was prettier than Candice and a better swimmer, and here was another meet and everybody was taking pictures of her, all because of that one picture that made her famous. I couldn't take it anymore. | „ |
~ Miranda Harton revealing her jealousy of Candice, while also revealing her intent to kill Candice |
Miranda Harton (Brianne Davis) is the main villainess from "Cyber-Lebrity," episode 6.02 of CSI: Miami (airdate September 24, 2007). She is a member of Coral Grove High School's girls' swim team, which has Candice Walker as one of her teammates.
Candice became an accidental "cyber-lebrity" when a photo of her in her swim outfit was posted online. As Candice's celebrity increased, Miranda became more and more jealous of her teammate, with her envy increasing when her advances towards Candice's boyfriend, Luke Selyan, were rebuffed. Miranda believed that Luke was only with Candice due to her fame, but regardless, her jealousy led to her becoming villainous and murderous, as she planned to kill Candice.
Miranda was also in an illicit relationship with her coach, Robert Whitten, and she used that to borrow a key to a room that carried archery equipment. The villainess took one of the bows and waited to shoot Candice during her swim meet. She timed her shot with the starting pistol, knowing that Candice starts a tad later than the pistol's firing. As planned, the evil Miranda fired the arrow in sync with the starting pistol, but Candice made the jump in time as well, causing Miranda's shot to strike and kill Luke instead. Whitten's DNA being on the bow made him a suspect, but after Calleigh Duquesne figured out that the height and weight of the shooter was 5'5" and around 100 pounds, it led to the revelation that the killer was female, leading to Miranda's reveal.
Calleigh showed Miranda more evidence of her actions during her interrogation: a video shot of Miranda holding Whitten's key, which also revealed her relationship with Whitten. Miranda confessed to her plan and revealed her jealousy of Candice, stating that she always felt she was prettier than Candice and that she couldn't handle Candice's fame anymore. Under Calleigh's order, Miranda was handcuffed and arrested for Candice's attempted murder and Luke’s murder, but as she was led out of the police station, the villainess basked in the attention she was receiving. She smiled for the cameras as pictures of her were being captured, with a number of them posted on a website devoted to her, making Miranda the newest cyber-lebrity.
