Despite not knowing the full truth behind the whole incident, she was still shaken by it, as she tells the detectives.

* FateWorseThanDeath: Margot ends up being shot in the head at point-blank range, but surprisingly does not die. Instead, she lingers on in a persistent vegetative state being unable to move, walk, talk or do anything else of independence until her death in 2007, ''18 years later.''
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "Her" own petard in this case. Margot intended to have a woman, who [[IdenticalStranger bears a striking resemblance to Margot herself]], killed in an attempt to collect life insurance on herself for one last con, but Spencer, having fallen in love with the woman in question, informed her of Margot's plot instead, causing the woman and Spencer to device a plot of their own against Margot instead, as the detectives eventually find out through a woman who was scammed and went looking for Spencer and Margot on the night Margot got shot, saw the scene in a distance (and undiscovered by any of the three she observed), and left without succeeding in forgetting what she saw.
