Janine Boxton (Alexia Fast) is the main villainess from "Dead End," episode 2.05 of Motive (airdate June 18, 2014). She is the best friend of Emily Williams, and both were students at Queen's Cross Academy.

Emily was also the girlfriend of Janine's brother, Aiden Williams, but the couple broke up a few months prior to the events. Janine (among others) suspected that Emily was having an affair with her teacher, Warren Bould, but in a shocking surprise, it was revealed that Emily was actually having an illicit affair with Aiden and Janine's father, Michael. The affair resulted in Emily becoming pregnant, and after Sara (Michael's wife) found out, she attempted suicide. Janine found her mother in the house unresponsive, but she managed to save Sara.

However, at the hospital, Janine spotted Michael and Emily at the parking lot hugging each other while agreeing that they needed to "end this." With that, Janine had found out about the affair, and a confrontation with Emily ended with Janine noticing a pregnancy test. Figuring that Emily was not only pregnant, but was carrying Michael's baby, Janine stalked Emily to a nearby cliff, where Emily and Aiden would often meet. She again confronted Emily and forced her to admit that the baby she was carrying was her eventual half-sibling. After Emily admits that Michael was the father, an enraged Janine pushed Emily over the cliff. Miraculously, Emily survived the fall, but afterwards, the evil Janine grabbed a rock and bludgeoned her former friend to death, also killing her unborn half-sibling in the process.

During Angie Flynn and Oscar Vega's investigation, both Aiden and Bould were not only suspected in Emily's murder, but as the father of Emily's baby. After learning that Janine's bike was at the scene, Angie and Vega went to the Boxton home, where the former revealed to Michael that he was the father of Emily's baby. She later asked Janine how long she knew about their affair, and that led to Janine confessing to killing Emily, stating that she ruined the lives of her entire family. After Janine's confession, she was handcuffed and arrested for killing Emily and her unborn baby.
