Dr. Gidry

"My life didn't matter to him. Why should his matter to me?"

- Dr. Gidry Dr. Gidry is the main villainess from "Bloodstream," a third season episode of The Mentalist.

She was played by Alanna Ubach, who also appeared as Jennie Silverman on Monk.

Dr. Gidry is an anesthesiologist who had been stealing drugs and using them, and giving patients watered down versions of the anesthetics. Her actions led to lawsuits against the hospital, and also caught the attention of Dr. Micah Newton, who not only planned to fire Gidry, but he was going to report her to the state medical board. Late one night, Gidry confronted Newtown at a driving range, which ended with the enraged villainess killing Newton with a golf club.

Gidry was revealed as Newton's killer when Jane entered an operation and stated that he had drugged the doctors' coffee, stating that the killer would now experience withdrawals. At that moment, Gidry disappeared and was found by Lisbon in the bathroom injecting herself, stating that she was going through withdrawals, only to find out that Jane didn't drug the coffee and it was a ruse to catch Gidry. Gidry confessed everything (while actually going through the effects of drug withdrawals) and was arrested for murder.
