The Mole / Web Original

Go To

  • In Escape the Night, the guests find out that there's a mole among them working with the evil, trying to kill them all, early on. This creates a ton of friction and drama between the group, only for them to find out it was the butler. Because of course it was.
  • KateModern season 2 featured two examples of this; first Terry and later Julia.
  • The LG15: the resistance finale revealed that Sarah Genatiempo was in the Order all along.
  • lonelygirl15
    • Dr. Hart, who is one of the protagonists for a significant proportion of series 2, before eventually revealing himself to be a villain (but he switches sides during the season finale, "Bloodlines").
    • A particularly unusual example happened during the live event seen in "Too Dangerous!", in which a group of fans were invited to meet Daniel and Jonas, in person, in San Francisco, and take part in the storyline. Greg Gallows, a popular Fandom VIP of the series, was revealed to be a mole, passing information onto villain Lucy. Gallows went on to appear as an enemy mook in the following story, "Bloodlines".
    • Sarah was revealed to be a mole in "We're Screwed!"
    • Gemma never actually joins Bree or Daniel, but she helps from a distance. In "Tough Cookie" it's revealed that she works for the Order and isn't even British.
    • Carl Adams in "Prom: It's To Die For".
  • Zeemyth of the [REDACTED] Smp initially appears like any other member of the town around spawn. However, his videos show that he is actually an agent of The A.R.G. Sent to spy on the other subjects.
  • There's a variation in Survival of the Fittest version 2, where Big Four member Steven Wilson is tasked with scouting Bathurst High School (the other Four were assigned to other schools in the city) to find the best classes to target, and eventually to orchestrate those classes' abductions. They got him in place by forging documents and credentials to establish him as a qualified teacher and administrator, arranged for the previous Bathurst principal to "disappear", and then snuck him in as the new one. He then took over by using his previous military and leadership experience to take care of the administrative details. Ironically, the Bathurst students sealed their own fates by treating him rudely and with no respect, constantly causing trouble, and the two chosen classes were the ones he saw as the worst. Nobody not in the know saw it coming.
    • Jodene Zalack in Survival of the Fittest version three, who joined a group with the intent of infiltrating them and taking them out. She succeeded in killing Khrysta Lawrence and escaping entirely unharmed. She was planning to do the same to another group before it was decimated by Wade Wilson.
  • Nazetrîme in Noob. She's suprised nobody in the Noob guild figured it out given that her Online Alias is an anagram to that of the Noob guild's resentful former Guild Master.
  • The premise of Jubilee Media's web series Odd Man Out: a group of seven people claim to be of a certain identity, but one is lying. Examples include "6 Beyonce Fans vs 1 Secret Hater", "6 Christians vs 1 Secret Atheist" and "6 Vegans vs 1 Secret Meat Eater". The group must work to identify and vote out the liar, mostly through discussion of the identity in question. Whichever party wins - the mole or the other 6 - is awarded a cash prize.
  • The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids: In the short story "The Resurrection of the Wellsians", Digger turns out to be part of 177's rebellion, only acting as alchemist Mandragora's dim-witted assistant to get at his secrets so they can be used against the Governor whom Mandragora nominally serves.
  • U Realms Live: DeNada, who first appeared in Porc Hunters. It is later revealed that he was an Ageless Spy working on the inside to gain information, and when the time came, to help his Ageless Allies try to awaken their God.
  • Shadow of Israphel has Lysander, who turns out to be a member of the evil cult of Israphel. And he burned down Mistral City while the heroes were investigating what happened to Old_Peculier's father.
    • Subverted when it turns out Lysander was framed and the person who actually burned down Mistral was a pirate named Jock Fireblast, with the reveal coming just before Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane can kill him. Played straight though when Skylord_Vitali betrays the Skylords and kills them all.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series' Melvin (Yami Marik) was a villain from the get go, but it's taken even further when he turns out to be The Mole for the series itself. He was hired by the CEO of 4Kids (Noah Kaiba) to cancel the show. He succeeded.
