Renee Williams (Ally Walker) is the main villainess from "The Biker," episode 5.11 of Matlock (airdate November 27, 1990). She is the personal assistant for famous movie actor Nicky Tower.
Renee was also in love with Nicky, and she had believed that Nicky had reciprocated her love for him, as he had given her a bracelet as a gift. The inscription referred to Renee as Nicky's "one and only love," but as Renee found out, Nicky had bought twelve of the bracelets, and had also given one to Vicky Miller, a young woman who was carrying his child. She found this out when she discovered a bill for the bracelets, which led to an argument between herself and Nicky, who Renee later overheard arguing with Vicky.
Renee planned to kill Nicky afterwards, with her villainous scheme beginning with renting a motorcycle; doing so while wearing sunglasses and a red-haired wig. She also took a gun belonging to Cliff Lockwood, a biker who was also Nicky's bodyguard, and on the day of Nicky's movie premiere, the evil Renee shot and killed Nicky while riding past the theater in her motorcycle. After the murder, the scorned villainess parked her motorcycle at an alley and later changed clothes before rushing to the scene, acting shocked over the events. Renee's plan was to also frame Cliff for the murder, as she wasn't thrilled with Nicky hiring him on a whim; plus she witnessed Nicky firing Cliff, which she planned to use in her favor.
Renee was revealed as Nicky's killer during Ben Matlock's cross-examination, after Matlock's first accusation drew objections. Her bracelet and Nicky purchasing a dozen of them was mentioned as motive, but what sealed Renee's fate was a photo taken by a young child, which showed Renee in her biker disguise on her motorcycle...without her helmet. Renee broke down after realizing she was caught, and she was eventually arrested (off-screen) for Nicky's murder.
