Villainous bride-to-be Michelle Morgan
Michelle Morgan (Rachelle Lefevre) is a villainess from "Saving Face," episode 3.03 of The Closer (airdate July 2, 2007). She is an angry bride-to-be who was set to be married at the same church where a funeral for former LAPD detective Ray Hodge took place.
The funeral came to a shocking end, as after the casket dropped, the body of a young woman fell out. Brenda Leigh Johnson's investigation into the woman's death drew Michelle's ire, as the only thing on the villainous bride's mind was getting married. The verbal spat between Michelle and Brenda turned physical when the callous former attacked the latter, leading to Michelle being arrested. With her wedding now ruined (in her mind), the evil Michelle--with her rich father, Michael, present--planned on suing the LAPD, and even refused to sign a release so she could continue pursuing legal action.
In the end of the episode, Brenda and Will Pope met with Michelle and Michael, and the meeting included before and after photos of Michelle, as she was one of a long list of clients of plastic surgeon Jonathan Stone, who was revealed as the victim's killer. In order to keep the photos from becoming public, Michelle and Michael agreed to drop the charges, and to publicly apologize--the latter under Michelle's insistence. To add further insult to Michelle's proverbial injury, Brenda presented the villainess with the bride and groom figurines from the wedding cake, leaving Michelle humiliated and angry that the LAPD enjoyed her expensive wedding feast.
