When I'm old, I shall wear midnight

ROUND 1 — Match 216 of 276

Beverly Keane (Midnight Mass)

Problematic because: "All of the everything about her. She's a religious nut who drops bible quotes into every conversation. She lies and holds petty grudges. She poisons a man's dog just to take away the thing he loves the most in the world (she also sets up the situation to give herself plausible deniability of having killed the dog on purpose).
