* FaceHeelTurn: Appeared to be the case in the first season finale, as she's seen sitting on the Ilaria Board of Directors and not hiding her GlowingEyes. It turns out that she's trying to change Ilaria from the inside out, trying to make them less evil. Yeah, good luck with that...

It turns out that it's more complicated than that: On the one hand, she's trying to change Ilaria from the inside out, trying to make them less evil. Yeah, good luck with that...But on the other hand, she seems to have wholeheartedly drank the Ilaria Kool-Aid on human population control, seeking the least morally-objectionable means toward a quite objectionable (for humans at least) end.

* AncientConspiracy: It's a front for a group of Immortals who've been working behind the scenes for centuries to control the human race.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: Everyone working at Ilaria is genocidal toward the human race to one degree or another, believing them to be a virus on the planet that must be wiped out, or at least reduced to a manageable level. They just differ in means and severity. Alan points out that even Julia's more humane solution - instigating widespread infertility - is still genocide.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: We've yet to see one who isn't.
* MegaCorp: They're nominally a biotech firm, but they have their own private army, network of communications satellites, and God knows what else.
