* BitchInSheepsClothing: Laura Kennerly, the seemingly kindhearted babysitter of Ellis Truette's son Cole. She infiltrates the family to use Ellis's job as a pilot to pull off a heist of $2 million in untraceable casino chips from a cargo plane, roping him into being her accomplice on the grounds he'd be setting Cole up financially after his imminent death from lung cancer. Naturally, she greedily wants to keep all the money for herself and kills the pilots and Ellis before parachuting out, risking a plane crash that could have killed dozens or hundreds if not for Ellis's surviving just long enough to turn on the auto pilot. She continues to play the part of a caring babysitter for the boy she just orphaned by comforting him over his dad's death and taking him out for ice cream to cheer him up. When the investigation leads to the Truette house, she deflects suspicion onto Ellis's ex-con cousin Gary, hypocritically saying he's not the best influence on Cole and feigning concern about Cole having to go into foster care.
