* FallGuy: By the end of the first season it's revealed [[spoiler: Wagner is completely ignorant of the corruption being run at his charity. It's his supposed best friend Noonan who's been going around accepting bribes and claiming he's just the front guy for Wagner. Thus, when Wagner gets busted, Noonan is not only clear but will likely get Wagner's job.]]

* HiddenDisdainReveal: In a talk, Noonan not so subtly reveals he's always felt he should have become Captain and Wagner was only promoted because of his race. While Noonan apologizes later, the reveal of his bitterness adds to [[spoiler: Wagner's suspicions Noonan has been using Wagner's name to cover up his own corruption.]]
