Elizabeth (Melissa Marty) is the villainess of the 2015 Lifetime film Dangerous Company. She was the assistant of Pauline Mitchell, the owner of fashion company Wendy Blue Fashion. On the surface, Elizabeth appeared to be the perfect assistant, doting and supportive. She is especially supportive when her boss begins experiencing memory lapses, stepping up to cover for her.
But unbeknownst to Pauline, Elizabeth was having an affair with Pauline's husband Aaron, and the two were conspiring to convince Pauline she was developing dementia so they could take control of her company and sell it to a Chinese investment firm (a proposal that Pauline refused to agree to). While Aaron drugged Pauline at home, Elizabeth psychologically gaslit her, lying to and manipulating Pauline into thinking she has memory lapses. But their plans hit a snag when a criminal they hired to pose as Aaron and alter Pauline's medical records for the purposes of further gaslighting her became greedy, resulting in Aaron accidentally shoving the man to his death.
As Elizabeth and Aaron were about to approve the proposal, Pauline bursts in with evidence proving Aaron's guilt in the murder of the accomplice, resulting in the meeting being cancelled. Pauline then confronted Elizabeth, who in turn pulled a gun from her bag. She then explains to a surprised Aaron that they could kill Pauline and make it look like an accident. But suddenly, Pauline grabbed the gun and, in the ensuing struggle, the gun went off and shot Aaron in the leg. Both women rushed to his side, with Elizabeth apologizing for shooting him. Pauline responded by punching Elizabeth, who was later arrested.
