* In ''[[Oz]]'' [[Complete Monster|Schillinger]] arranges for [[Depraved Bisexual|Chris Keller]] to meet [[Butt Monkey|Tobias Beecher]], Schillinger's former sex slave, with the intent of gaining his trust and seducing him. A mutual attraction instantly forms between them, and the two eventually exchange confessions of love. Unfortunately for Beecher he finds out that the man he fell in love with was working with his arch enemy all along (and informs him that he never loved him right before breaking Beecher's arms and legs). Keller clearly enjoys the beating, but is briefly seen experiencing a moment of regret when he returns to his empty cell and eventually realizes that he has fallen in love with Beecher.

* Morgana, with Uther and Arthur, since the beginning of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' season 3.

* A heroic example in ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' was Marian, who cultivates a "friendship" of sorts with Guy of Gisborne so that she can pass on information to Robin. She even goes so far as to pull off a perfectly executed [[Decoy Damsel]] ploy, which Guy falls for hook, line and sinker. Of course, Guy was something of a False Friend himself considering he seems more than ready to have Marian punished if she disobeys him, and when he learns that she's in love with [[Robin Hood]], he {{spoiler|stabs her to death}}.

* {{spoiler|HG}} from ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' does this using the other agents to get an artifact so {{spoiler|she}} could destroy the world though she does somewhat [[Becoming the Mask|become the mask]], getting talked down from doing this when her friend tells her to shoot her instead of being a coward and killing her with the rest of the world.

* ''[[Touhou]]: Mystic Square'' features the [[Playing with Fire|fire]] and [[An Ice Person|ice]] magicians [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Yuki and Mai]] as a [[Dual Boss]]. If you defeat Mai first, Yuki will be furious and [[Turns Red|crank up the heat]]. But if you defeat Yuki first, Mai will smugly declare that her comrade was nothing more than "dead weight" dragging her down (though ironically Mai's regarded as the easier of the two). Mai's [[Leitmotif]] is appropriately named "Treacherous Maiden ~ Judas Kiss."

 

* ''[[Megatokyo]]''. Miho did this to Piro some time before the start of the series.

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', Nale drives Elan to the [[Despair Event Horizon]] by telling him that Haley is this trope, taking advantage of [[Not What It Looks Like|incriminating evidence]] and Haley's [[The Unintelligible|inability to defend herself]] to [[Evil Gloating|gloat]] about Haley's supposed betrayal of Elan's friends and Elan's stupidity in not seeing that she was [[Evil All Along]]. Elan is {{spoiler|briefly}} convinced and goes into a [[Unstoppable Rage|murderous fury]], telling Haley that he hates her, before Haley finally manages to [[Cannot Spit It Out|spit it out]].

** Nale also uses a suggestion spell to make Elan angrier, hence the uncharacteristic murderous fury.
