Lindsey Trent (Lindsay Price) is the main villainess from "The Last Seduction," episode 8.07 of Castle (airdate November 16, 2015). She is a high profile divorce lawyer who had toy magnate George Keller as one of her many clients.
As the episode revealed, Lindsey utilized the services of Scott McCoy, a pick-up artist, to seduce and have affairs with her clients' soon-to-be ex-wives, doing so to trap them into violating their infidelity clauses. As Kate Beckett revealed, at least four of Lindsey's clients' ex-wives have fallen victim to her immoral tactics, with two of the women being the eventual former wives of George Keller. She even sent Scott to seduce and sleep with George's mother, Penelope Keller, under George's orders so he could gain control of the company from her.
However, it was during Scott's meeting with Penelope that he began feeling guilty over his past actions and decided that he was done seducing married women. Fearing that her role in Scott's seductions would be uncovered, Lindsey confronted Scott at his apartment, where she killed him by stabbing him nine times. The villainess ditched her clothes after the murder, and during the investigation, Richard Castle posed as a client to get into Lindsey's client log, only to be ejected when she revealed to Castle that Beckett had phoned and revealed that she had a warrant to search her log. The call was revealed as a fake, as Alexis Castle snuck in and took photos of Lindsay's list of clients, which led them to George Keller.
Though George himself was suspected of Scott's murder, the revelation of Scott's near seduction of Penelope ended up revealing Lindsey as Scott's killer. The episode's climax saw detectives Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan return to the law office, where the former confronted Lindsey and revealed that police had a warrant to search her apartment. After stating that Lindsey most likely failed to get rid of her shoes after the murder, the evil Lindsey took out her gun from her drawer and pointed it at Esposito, completing her reveal. Esposito tried to appeal to Lindsey that she might still be able to beat the charges due to her acumen as a lawyer, but killing him would put her away for good. The villainess refused to listen and fired at Esposito, only for Ryan to take the bullet for him, though the bullet struck Ryan's notepad. After Ryan regained consciousness, both he and Esposito chased Lindsey, who fell down a flight of stairs due to her heels (which ironically proved to be her undoing once again). She was arrested (off-screen) by the pair.
