Sylvie Binette (Natalie Brown) is the main villainess from "Partners in Crime," episode 1.06 of Private Eyes (airdate June 30, 2016). She is an employee at the Constellations speed dating service.
Sylvie (as later revealed) is also a villainous identity thief, as she had used her position to steal the identities of Constellations' customers and use their money to buy exotic coins around the world. One victim was Vanessa, an architect and friend of Angie Everett, as Sylvie befriended Vanessa while using an alias--Helene. She also targeted Jeremy by posing as a woman named Veronique, seducing him before taking his identity. Jeremy ended up being Angie's main date after she and Matt Shade went undercover, though he was cleared when the only secret he had was that he was living with his nana.
Meanwhile, Sylvie encountered Matt at the bookstore, where she gave Matt her phone number. Their date ended abruptly when Matt went on the job to check on Angie, and when Sylvie called Matt during another sting, she stated that she had to leave for Paris that day. Both Jeremy and Vanessa revealed to Angie that the "women" they encountered said the same thing, which revealed that they both encountered the same woman and that Sylvie was the villainess. In the episode's climax, Matt woke up to find Sylvie sneaking out of the bedroom following a brief tryst, after which she was on her laptop working on stealing Matt's identity.
After she was caught by Matt, the evil Sylvie attempted to convince Matt to work with her, while also revealing that her French accent was also a fake. Matt stated that he already had a partner, and it was there that Sylvie turned around and saw Angie, who sprayed Sylvie's eyes with mace when the villainess was attempting to pull out a weapon. Sylvie was later arrested (off-screen).
