 Alternately
a schemer and a victim, Andi Klein turns out to be a cold criminal
monster and without qualms. She appears at first as the mistress of Ken
Mathis, Sophia Armonti's boyfriend, with whom she seems madly in love.
It is aboard the plane which returns them from Hong-Kong that Andi
enters for the first time in touch with Sophia, and finds the words to
flatter her. She immediately seduces her by her smile and her
spirituality, and obtains from her a job of assistant at the Armonti
Industries.
If
Andi seems jealous of the relation which Ken has with Sophia, it turns
out that this latter is only a facade to allow Ken to get his hand on
Sophia's money and company. But Andi becomes disenchanted when she
learns that Ken is about to marry Sophia, and thus to go away some more
from her. One evening, in a bar, she gets acquainted with policeman
Reese Walker, in full confusion after a quarrel with his wife. Both
finish at night in Andi's bed, woken in the early hours by the sudden
arrival of Jodie, Reese's wife.
Even
if she knows that he is not completely available for her, Andi becomes
attached to this man who, contrary to Ken, thinks highly of her and
teats her with respect. Fashion designer in her spare time, Andi lets
one day drag one of her sketches for which she took Reese as model. Ken
recognizes him and flies into a rage. He beats Andi with violence, and
she ends up in hospital after having called Reese to her rescue. She
recognizes in front of him that Ken is her aggressor and her ex-boyfriend.
Reese shares this information with his colleague Connor McCabe, who
suspects Ken of poisoning progressively Sophia. But each of both men is
in possession of information which they do not always share. So, when
Andi confides to Reese that she was the nurse of Ken's first two wives,
this latter ignores what Connor has discovered : that both women
probably died of poisoning.
When
Ken is arrested for suspicion of poisoning, Andi is afraid to see her
end arriving. She joins Ken to the prison and poisons his tea. She
watches him dying without shivering, demonstrating that she is well the
one who led to the death Ken's first wives a few years earlier. Her
avenging spirit still gets the upper hand when Reese announces her that
he wants to give a new chance to his marriage and to end their relation.
She finds Jodie and poisons her meal. But her plan is ransacked by Reese
who, having understood everything, prevents his wife from dying in her
turn.
Andi
then risks everything, and goes to the wedding ceremony of Warren
Lockridge and B.J. Walker, Jodie and Reese's daughter. Disguised as a
chambermaid, she takes place on a balcony in front of the altar and,
equipped with a rifle with sight, aims at Jodie. She is stopped in her
murderous surge by Connor, just as she was going to shoot her rival.
It
well seems that the character of Andi was not thought at first as a
murderer, as shows her sweet and human personality of the first months.
Her transition towards a killing frenzy, doubtless pressed by the end of
the show, will have transformed her into a murderer worthy of the worst
bad guys of Santa
Barbara.
