Bridget Michaels (Parisa Fitz-Henley) is a minor villainess from "The Mystery of the Art Ace", episode 1.07 of The Mysteries of Laura (airdate October 29, 2014). She was a cocktail waitress who operated an illegal gambling ring, having two prior charges against her for promoting gambling, but only received probation thanks to her wealthy attorney. A year prior to the episode's events, Bridget met David Sarkissian, whose father Julius owned an art gallery. David agreed to become Bridget's new money launderer, selling her paintings from the illicit games that she would resell at auctions to get "clean money".
When David was found murdered and his work in the underground gambling ring was discovered, Laura Diamond went undercover to one of Bridget's games, eventually pegging her as the game's operator. When the police stormed in, Bridget attempted to flee, but was caught by Meredith Bose. When questioned by Captain Jake Broderick, Bridget claimed that her operation was a "victimless crime" and that she had nothing to do with David's death. After revealing David's work with her, Bridget claimed that David had a romantic interest in her and that she would never kill him. Bridget was presumably arrested for continuing her operation, but was later proven innocent in David's murder.
