''"I will not, I've changed," said crocodile. So rabbit sat on the crocodile's back. But when they were in the middle of the lake, crocodile started to eat rabbit.

''"You lied to me!" screamed rabbit.

 

A villain has finally seen the error of their ways and [[Heel Face Turn|converts to the side of good]]... but surprise! They were actually [[The Mole]] after all, [[Good Is Dumb|suckers]]!

* In one of the earliest ''[[Babysitters Club]]'' books, the girls are losing clients to the Baby-Sitters Agency (mainly because their members are older than twelve), so Kristy tries to find some new members. The two she gets are Janet and Leslie (?), who apparently quit the Agency because they didn't like how it was being run. So they're promptly booked for jobs with two new clients who saw the club's advertising for new, older sitters who could stay out later. Imagine the girls' shock at the Monday evening meeting, when their "defectors" don't show up, and the new clients call to complain that they were stood up. Kristy was absolutely devastated when she confronted them and learned that they did it deliberately to sabotage the BSC's reputation.

* Also subverted in ''Flashman and the Angel of the Lord''. {{spoiler|Joe Simmons}} was supposed to sabotage John Brown, but ended up following him for real.

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* Almost all of Mulder's informants in ''[[The X-Files]]'' are in fact loyal agents of The Consortium, engaged in a disinformation campaign to keep him distracted from what they don't want him to find out.

* Kashyk, the charming Devore inspector from ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'''s "Counterpoint", defects from his species and seeks asylum aboard Voyager, romancing Janeway to get her to trust him. {{spoiler|She doesn't}}.

* Irina Derevko in ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''.

* A version of this is present in ''[[Farscape]]''. He's not necessarily the antagonist, but in the fourth season, the main reason Scorpius came on ''Moya'' was so that he could wrest the secrets of wormhole control from John's mind.

== [[Real Life]] ==

* Before the mass suicide at [[Cult Colony|Jonestown]], under pressure from a visiting U.S. congressman, Jim Jones allowed a group of people to leave the camp. Just as their vehicle was ready to leave, Jones loyalist Larry Layton demanded to join the group. He was allowed after a cursory patdown, over the protests of several defectors. They were right to be skeptical, as he later pulled a gun and shot two of them.
