Episode|Wham Series]] [[Growing the Beard|in later chapters]], has plenty of these. The most notable, however, is chapter 18. William Aussek, Sam's [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] new CO, is actually Joey Von Krause in disguise. And Joey is actually a demon, with [[Playing with Fire|flame powers]]. And his eyepatch hides a gaping wound with a small light deep inside instead of an eye. And then he kills Sam, who's a viewpoint character. There are several other examples, such as the reveal that Vlademyre Hynner, Joey's old boss who was [[Brick Joke|introduced in the first chapter, then forgotten]], is the new leader of the southern black market, or the reveal that [[Badass Preacher]] Zebidiah is actually a demon under Vlad's control, or the reveal that Joey's [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue|hallucinations]] are actually Rashnu trying to get him to redeem himself, or the reveal that Joey's plan thee whole time has been to use his William Aussek identity to eliminate Sintec and the black market for good—more or less the opposite of what the audience thought he was planning, etc. etc. And what's better, all of them [[Foreshadowing|manage to make perfect sense in retrospect]]—well, [[Shocking Swerve|except for]] the whole Zebidiah = demon bit.
