Heel Face Mole is no longer a trope


* FakeDefector: In the Season 2 finale, [[spoiler: Snyder pretends to defect from the Authority and helps the Bowmans escape from LA, but is really planning on leading the Authority to the Resistance and stolen gauntlet.]]

** The Red Berets, who differ from the Red Hats in that they have "SOT" patches and name tags on their uniforms rather than "LAB" ones and serial numbers, use [[CoolHat the eponymous headgear]] rather than camera-equipped helmets, and don't bother hiding their faces behind balaclavas.

CIA Evil FBI Good is specifically about the juxtaposition of a morally good FBI organization and morally bad CIA organization. Example that don't fit the trope will be deleted or moved to existing tropes when applicable


* CIAEvilFBIGood: {{Zigzagged}}; Will worked for the UsefulNotes/{{FBI}} Fugitive Task Force prior to the invasion and suspects his new boss Phyllis is ex-UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} based on her attitude.

Moving cut What An Idiot entries that lacked the proper formatting here.

Added DiffLines:

* TheDitz: Katie and Will. They don't communicate effectively to coordinate and use his double-agenthood to maximum effectiveness for the Resistance. Will gets ''way'' too good at his job to be totally faking enthusiasm for the CTA's cause, and Katie makes rookie mistakes like uncovering her face during a Resistance op. This backfires on her badly when Will starts to get suspicious about the extent to which Katie is orchestrating things without his knowledge, and then later Katie's rookie face-reveal turns out to mean she is completely blown as revealed by Phyllis, a high-ranking CTA official. [[spoiler:Only Phyllis's eventual assassination saves her, but now the Resistance is gunning for her because she didn't lay the cards out with Will and get him on board before tipping them off about Snyder.]]


Added DiffLines:

* IdiotBall: Katie comes off as incredibly naive for thinking that she can make deals with the Resistance even as it becomes obvious that Will isn't nearly as valuable to them as she thinks.
