Every so often, a character will pretend to go to switch sides in order to reach the enemy. This is not the same as The Infiltration; in this case, the character keeps his true identity but convinces the enemy that his loyalties have switched. Frequently many of the good guys end up believing it too.
The character will often have to persuade the enemies of his authenticity by attacking one of his 'old' comrades or doing something else evil. Another frequent tactic is for the hero not to contact the enemies, but instead, just arrange for his life to fall apart — get fired from his job, start to drink, and so on — and wait for his enemies to contact him.
The audience is usually told in advance that the character is doing this, but occasionally they are not. Often it is subject to a sort of Unspoken Plan Guarantee: if the audience knows, the enemies are more likely to know as well.
Woe to the Fake Defector who trips a "The Villain Knows" Moment.
As a betrayal trope, many examples will contain spoilers. Beware.

A long-term example in The Good Shepherd, where a Soviet defector named Valentin Mironov spends years working with Edward Wilson in Wilson's counterintelligence unit. Another Soviet defector later shows up to claim that he's the real Mironov, while the first one is actually Yuri Modin, a KGB agent. They don't believe the second "Mironov" and torture him until he jumps out a window to his death (it doesn't help that he's dosed with LSD at that point). The first "Mironov" offers to take a polygraph test to prove that he is who he says he is, but Wilson refuses. Later, though, Wilson shows up on Mironov's doorstep in the middle of the night and demands that Mironov play his violin. When Mironov agrees and asks why, Wilson replies that he wanted to finally hear something from "Mironov" that was true. Obviously, he figured out that the second "Mironov" was the real deal.

The climax of Book Three of The Last Son has Superman pretending that he's going to join General Zod on conquering Earth by force, so that he, Power Girl, Supergirl and Krypto can infiltrate Fort Rozz and reprogram its defense systems. What really sells the act is that Superman actually has enough reasons to pull a Then Let Me Be Evil due to the fact that many people have tried to destroy him and his fellow Kryptonians despite all the good they've done, which is enough to convince Zod about it.

Junior Braves of the Apocalypse: When the Junior Braves are taken in by the security guard gang, Travis makes an effort to endear himself to them. He takes credit for his friends' achievements, forces Pabir to give up his glasses, and even tases Buddy when the gang encourages him to do so. However, it turns out that he was only doing all of this to earn the gang's trust while he stole supplies and prepared an escape route.

Saruhiko Fushimi does this brilliantly in K: Return of Kings. Since he is one of the few Clansman known to have left one Clan to join another, he and his King use that reputation, stage a fight in front of the whole Clan, and have him storm off and reactivate his JUNGLE account, making it look like a regular case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. When his true plan and choices are revealed, it turns everything that has been shown of that character so far on its head. His King even goes to the Clansman of his old Clan who still holds a grudge over his original "betrayal", and tells him that there is one way for the Fake Defector to survive - that is, to actually betray his King and join the Clan he's infiltrating. "You are his friend, and know him well. Do you think that's something he would do?" And even that character knows it isn't.

Bleach:
Byakuya does a pretty good one in the Zanpakuto arc. The ally he has to kill is his sister Rukia's Zanpakuto, Sodeno Shirayuki, and he does it without flinching (of course).
Uryu Ishida pretends to join the Vandenreich in an attempt to assassinate their leader, Yhwach. However, Yhwach sees through the ploy immediately and appoints him his successor, meaning everybody's eyes will be on him and an assassination attempt will be all but impossible. While Uryu's assassination attempt was on a far bigger scale than merely a sneak attack on Yhwach (namely, spreading the innocuous-looking components of a Fantastic Nuke all over Yhwach's palace to wipe out the entire Vandenreich, to be triggered while Yhwach is sleeping), right-hand-man Haschwalth figures out his plan anyway. Uryu also had a plan to assassinate Yhwach personally, involving a Power Nullifier negate Yhwach's omnipotence. Haschwalth exposing Uryu's true loyalties required him to use this in direct combat instead of by sneak attack.

In the third episode of TaleSpin's pilot series, "Plunder & Lightning", Kit Cloudkicker pretends to betray Baloo, Molly and Rebecca in the Iron Vulture to his former mentor Don Karnage, to allow them to escape. The fake deception is so convincing and surprising that Baloo believes himself betrayed, and angrily leaves Higher For Hire with the Sea Duck to Louie's to party his cares away, until he hears Kit desperately radio for help in the fourth episode.
Watching that scene, it seems that the only reason Karnage bought it was because Baloo himself bought it... he seemed fairly skeptical, then looked at the unfeigned rage on Baloo's face and that's what sold him on it.
That and Kit actually went so far as to snap at Molly and make her cry.

Angel:
In "Hero", Angel Neck Snapped Doyle (who was part demon and able to survive such an attack) to get the Scourge to accept him so he could figure out their plans.
In "Not Fade Away", Wesley is selected to kill Cyvus Vail for three reasons: he knows the layout of Vail's place, he's the team's magic expert, and Vail already thought that he'd usurp Angel at some point.
Harmony joins, betrays, and rejoins Angel's team, against his strong oppositions. And then she betrays him again. All those resisted urges to stake her, to no good end!

On Haven, Duke does this on more than one occasion with more than one Big Bad. He's usually singled out for Apple of Discord plots because of his seemingly ambiguous morality as a Venturous Smuggler when compared with his Haven PD True Companions Audrey and Nathan. He's no one's fool, however, and an excellent liar, and uses his position to his advantage to gain the upper hand or obtain information.

Jack Ryan: In Tom Clancy's Cardinal of the Kremlin, Jack Ryan pulls this, staging several 'incidents' to trick the Russians into trying to recruit him, including a rather public incident involving a gay senator. He's not actually going undercover, though — he just needs to arrange a one-on-one with the KGB Chief, so he can blackmail HIM into defecting, bringing along the titular mole.

Successfully pulled by Sir Horace Harkness in the Honor Harrington series, when their ship was taken by Havenite State Sec. A life of smuggling and bootlegging certainly paid off — he managed to deceive his watchdogs, hack the enemy ship's central computer, free his mates, and blow the entire ship to Kingdom Come after making a clean getaway. He was deservingly knighted for this performance.

In one of the earliest The Baby-Sitters 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.

Himekawa proceeds to destroy the million-dollar machine to release the energy the second he has the confirmation that it is enough and dismisses the loss as "pocket change" before revealing he held Beel's third crest all along, all but stating that his loyalty has always been to Oga.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero:
In the two-parter "The Traitor", Cobra learns that the Joes have developed an armor treatment that makes their vehicles impervious to their weapons, the Twins approach Dusty and offer to pay his mother's medical bills in exchange for the formula. At first, Dusty only gives them information on the Joes' strategy to stop their next attack, but as the expenses pile up, he eventually steals the formula and turns it over to them, which is followed by Duke being knocked into a coma when a "trap" he and Flint set for Dusty backfires and he's trapped on an oil rig that explodes. Dusty is convicted at court martial and given a life sentence, but Cobra attacks as he's on his way to prison and break him out. Fully indoctrinated with the bad guys, he leads two Cobra raids on chemical plants to acquire materials for their mind control gas and even helps capture an entire squadron of Joes. When Cobra Commander gives Dusty the honor of testing the mind control gas on the captured Joes, Dusty instead releases the gas into the main chamber, where it corrodes the armor-treated Cobra vehicles and Mooks, then frees the Joes and escapes. It turns out that the Joes knew the armor treatment was unstable and wanted Cobra to get it, so Duke and Dusty came up with the plan to get the formula into their hands... but nobody else knew that Dusty's defection was all an act. (Also, the chemical combination that created the mind control gas could also be turned into a compound that neutralized the armor treatment, resulting in the hilarious scenes of both tans and uniforms completely disintegrating.)]]
The DiC Entertainment continuation did this in the episode "Shadow of a Doubt", where Storm Shadow (who was established to have defected from Cobra between the events of the Sunbow series and the DiC series) appeared to be returning to Cobra but was actually faking it to help the Joes take down Cobra's secret base.

Chie pulls this off in My-Otome by pretending to side with the Valkyries as part of two separate plans:
To wrest them and any other Otomes who may have sided with Nagi from his control, and
To knock Tomoe off her high horse, knowing fully well that she would take the first opportunity to sell them all out. The first part succeeds easily, but the second? Not so much, as Tomoe is too stubborn to be swayed into a Heel–Face Turn, and snaps instead.

My Little Pony:
My Little Pony 'n Friends:
In "The Return of Tambelon, Part 3", the heroes join up with a renegade Mook to infiltrate the Big Bad's city, but are led into an ambush instead. It appears that he lied to the heroes about his intentions and led them into a trap, and they bemoan their mistake in trusting him, but in Part 4 this is subverted when it's revealed that he was entirely sincere, but was himself sold out to Grogar.
In "Crunch the Rockdog, Part 2", Wind Whistler pretends to betray the other ponies to Crunch and to sympathize with his ruthlessness and lack of empathy, in order to work up to a pretense of offering him Megan as a victim in order to let the latter get close enough to use the Hearstone on him.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "The Cutie Map", despite all of the fake smiles that the Equal Ponies put on, Fluttershy finds them genuinely charming. It's this kindness that allows her and the rest of the Mane Six to convince cult leader Starlight Glimmer that Fluttershy is interested in joining them when all Fluttershy really wants to do is find their cutie marks. This later gets exploited again by the Mane Six to expose Starlight Glimmer as a Hypocrite who doesn't follow her own philosophy.
In "School Raze", Sandbar looks like he's thrown the non-pony students under the bus when he tells Neighsay he doesn't want anything to do with them, and he didn't tell his friends either. Cut to the next scene and he's run off to get the Crusaders for help and they rescue the others.

At the climax of The Bad Guys (2022), it seems that all the titular characters have undergone a Heel–Face Turn except for Mr. Snake, who forms a Big Bad Duumvirate with Marmalade. Once almost all has been said and done, however, Snake reveals that shortly after leaving the gang's hideout, he realized that he still had a conscience after all, and used the Bad Guys' breaking up as an alibi for making a false alliance with Marmalade and sabotaging the latter's scheme from within. It's a clever Batman Gambit on Snake's part since the fact that Marmalade was so caught up in his own sadistic pride over walking over others for his own ends prevented him from even suspecting, until it was much too late, that Snake's offer to join him wasn't genuine.

Happens again in Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger; Maharo (who was a dragon for the villains before her Heel–Face Turn) makes a deal with Abarekiller and rejoins the villains with all of her former power restored. The heroes quickly learn that this is all part of her plan to A) free Asuka from the dark armor and B) get close to the Big Bad and wait for a chance to strike. The first half of her plan goes smoothly, but not the second half.

In The Aeneid and The Odyssey Sinon surrenders to the Trojans, after claiming to have defected from the Greeks, for the express purpose of convincing the Trojans that the Trojan horse was a gift. He also added the detail that they under no circumstances should bring it into the city because then it would make the city invincible. You know the saying "never trust Greeks bearing gifts?" In context that's actually about Sinon in specific. Older Than Feudalism.

Dragon Ball:
In Dragon Ball GT, Giru appears to betray the team to the machine mutants. Only Trunks is in on the plan.
In the Garlic Jr. Saga of Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo did a variation of faking defection to Garlic Jr: He ended up being bitten by one of the Black Water Mist-infected characters, and then faked infection himself and fought Gohan and Krillin ruthlessly in order to get close enough to Garlic Jr. and then free Kami and Mr. Popo. He only let Krillin in on the plan when he was "biting" him on the neck, resulting in Krillin faking defection as well.

Professor Severus Snape of the Harry Potter series. Interestingly, he defected to both sides at different points, so we're kept guessing for most of the series about which side he's a fake defector to. (Fans debated it to hell and back.) It all ends with a very unusual twist: his deception is successful but his mission fails. Voldemort believes Snape but kills him anyway, out of expediency. That said, he was able to prevent a whole lot of worse abuse towards the students of Hogwarts using his position as Headmaster and was able to give Harry his all-important memories about Voldemort's extra Horcrux, so in a way, he succeeded.

In an episode of Arrested Development, Michael and Gob formulated a plan to get back at George Sr. for his cruel pranks on them as children which drove the two brothers apart. Gob immediately went to George and told him the plan, or so it seemed. Gob's defection was fake and part of the plan from the beginning. It was believable because Gob would have had no qualms about betraying Michael for real.

In Winter War, Hisagi apparently defected to Aizen during the Fake Karakura Town battle when it became obvious that he was going to win. He did so at Yamamoto's orders... but with Yamamoto and everyone else who was in on it dead, La Résistance believes he defected for real. Even when he contacts them and offers to help them invade Hueco Mundo, they have no way of knowing if he's genuinely on their side... and neither does the reader, until we get a chapter in his POV a while later.

Happens many times in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Especially noteworthy is just before the battle of Chi Bi; after Cao Cao's loyal admiral is executed thanks to a plot of Zhou Yu's, the admiral's brothers use it as a cover story for their supposed defection. However, they are easily discovered, but Zhou Yu just proceeds to play along so as to plant his own Fake Defector to defeat Cao's giant navy.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops: Subverted with the FOX Unit. The CIA intended to have the FOX Unit fake defection to the Soviet Union so they could supply the ICBMG to the Soviets and thus have the CIA maintain all the power it gained during the Cold War. However, this plot was undone by the Pentagon (of whom Cunningham was a plant to), where FOX was to launch the ICBMG at Soviet Russia in order to tarnish the CIA's reputation. It's even further subverted when Gene intended to nuke America with the ICBMG. See Gambit Pileup below.

Supernatural
Seasons 3 and 4 had Ruby, a demon who appeared to be fighting alongside the Winchesters (or, more specifically, Sam) whilst on the run from her own kind. Except in the S4 season finale, she turned out to have been the linchpin of Lilith's plan to break Lucifer out of Hell, and as she described herself, "the best of [the demons], the most loyal!"
The Season 10 episode "About a Boy" has the Winchesters discovering that the witch they're after is the same one from Hansel and Gretel, and the large man who they thought was the witch is Hansel himself. He claims he hates the witch for making him and Gretel her servants, and when they tried to escape, she tortured Hansel and then forced him to eat Gretel's heart. Then he offers to help the Winchesters kill her. It's a trick. He works for the witch willingly. Also, he didn't make up that part about him eating his sister's heart. What he did make up was the part where he was forced to do it.

Power Rangers:
And in the other hemisphere, Kat tried this in an episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers; when Tommy went to search for the Zeo Crystal (a powerful magical item Master Vile wanted, that had been protected from him with a spell that would destroy anything evil that touched it), Kat thought she could buy Tommy time by approaching the Zedd and Rita and saying she wanted to rejoin them. Unfortunately, they showed surprising genre-savvyness (for them) this time, and wouldn't trust Kat unless she first submitted herself to a brainwashing device (not mentioning until she agreed to this that it would be irreversible once complete, also mentioning then that Tommy's past as the Green Ranger would still cause the spell protecting the Crystal to react. (He still managed, even having to struggle through some personal demons to do so, and got back in time to rescue Kat and the Ninja-Falconzord too.)
King Mondo had a Monster of the Week, Defector, use this trick in Power Rangers Zeo. (The viewers knew what the plan was, but the heroes didn't, so you honestly can't blame the Rangers for wanting to believe the guy was sincere and it helps that in Ohranger the defector, Bara Revenger, was genuine.)
Power Rangers Operation Overdrive involves a Fake Defector plot when the Rangers need to acquire a Houou statute from a villain faction.

Jack Bauer in series 3, breaking out Ramon Salazar from prison was an elaborate sting operation. In order to convince the Salazars that he had gone to the bad side, he had to point an (unloaded) pistol at Chase's head and pull the trigger. He is assisted by Gael Ortega, who goes so deep undercover as a mole that CTU arrests and interrogates him before realizing their mistake. This is in addition to the cocaine habit he starts in the same season to convince Salazar of his defection. Proving once again that Jack Bauer is a badass.
Season 6 opens with a terrorist apparently turning traitor on the leader of his organization, offering his location to CTU so he can be assassinated. In fact, the "leader" has forsaken terrorism, and the traitor, the new mastermind of his organization, is trying to have him eliminated to further consolidate his power.
Done by both Tony Almeda and Jack in season 7. Also, Greg Seaton fakes a bad-to-good defection.
In Season 8, the traitorous Chief of Security to Omar Hassan has his daughter held hostage, but ultimately, his feelings for her turn out to be genuine and he dies saving her life. Or not, since it was all an act to help her escape and deliver a bomb wired with an EMP to the offices of CTU.

BattleTech: Seen in the Warriors trilogy of novels about the Fourth Succession War, with not a clue whatsoever to an uninitiated reader until The Reveal late in the final novel. Of course, the surprise will likely be lost on most modern readers already familiar with the universe's backstory who'll recognize the name Justin Xiang Allard easily enough; it worked better when the books (some of the first ever written) were still new.

In X-Men: First Class, Darwin does this to Sebastian Shaw's group of evil mutants as a ploy to give his teammate Havok a clear shot at Shaw's group (Darwin's own mutant ability will protect him from Havok's attack, and their friend but genuine traitor Angel, who wouldn't be safe otherwise). It doesn't turn out so good for Darwin when Shaw's group survives unscathed due to Shaw's mutant ability allowing him to absorb Havok's attack.

On Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Lazer/Kiriya Kujo is revived by the series' true Big Bad Masamune Dan and is originally shown to be siding with Masamune's side instead of Emu/Ex-Aid's side. Turns out, all of this is a ploy by him to swipe back the Proto Gashats that Masamune stole earlier in the story, taking full advantage of his tendency to lie to fool Masamune that he has willingly joined his side following his revival.

Rogue does this is Wolverine and the X-Men (2009), but the X-Men actually don't believe her at first and lock her up when she comes to warn them about the Brotherhoods plan until they start doing exactly what she said they would do. This is because it seemed she had done this in an earlier episode only to lure the X-Men into a trap. It's ambiguous as to whether she was pulling a fake defection all along, or legitimately joined the Brotherhood, only to later change her mind and claim she was so the X-Men would take her back.

Metal Gear:
Metal Gear Solid: In every single game, Revolver Ocelot is a fake defector to whomever the current game's Big Bad is. He always, always double-crosses his apparent boss at the end. Even more than that, he's not even typically working for the people he "defected" from, but is solely loyal to the Pro-Big Boss faction. In fact, he gave such behavior its name. Other than the chronic backstabbing moments, Ocelot's backstory is that he originally worked for the NSA until he and a colleague of his defected to the Soviet Union. However, it was suggested to be a fake defection due to still working for the CIA. Like mother, like son.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in a deconstruction of the trope, The Boss "defects" to the side of Big Bad Volgin, but after Volgin decides to nuke one of his research facilities with the American-made nuke she provided at the same time Russian radar detects the American plane which dropped off Naked Snake for an apparently-unrelated mission, the U.S. top brass shifts the blame for the incident onto The Boss to cover their own asses (which she willingly went along with to protect her country's interests), and her defection suddenly becomes a one-way street, making it necessary for Snake to kill her in order to prevent World War III from erupting. Tragically, Snake only learns her defection was fake after he's killed her. It gets even worse in Peace Walker, when it is revealed near the end that Not only was the launching of the nuke planned, but the true objective of both the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater was to kill off The Boss from the start by a single deviously cunning strategist. Coldman even admits (with a sickening amount of glee and satisfaction) that he was the one who set The Boss up.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops: Subverted with the FOX Unit. The CIA intended to have the FOX Unit fake defection to the Soviet Union so they could supply the ICBMG to the Soviets and thus have the CIA maintain all the power it gained during the Cold War. However, this plot was undone by the Pentagon (of whom Cunningham was a plant to), where FOX was to launch the ICBMG at Soviet Russia in order to tarnish the CIA's reputation. It's even further subverted when Gene intended to nuke America with the ICBMG. See Gambit Pileup below.

In Persona 5, Akechi drops his opposition to the Phantom Thieves in the face of intense public pressure, and when the public turns on them after Kunikazu's death, he joins them in their attempt to change Sae's heart, halt the rigged police investigation, and prove they're being set up by a conspiracy. It turns out Akechi is part of said conspiracy and the protagonists knew that the whole time and have just Out-Gambitted him.

Also common in Kamakura-era retellings of the The Tale of Genji. Many scenes in Genji make it clear that Genji was having an affair with the Emperor's chief wife, and even fathered her child. To avoid the unpatriotic implications, the retellings would have them go through the same conversations... but later reveal they were faking the whole thing to fool their enemies! And then NINJAS ATTACK!

In Star Trek: First Contact, Data is seduced by the Borg Queen with the promise of becoming more human by having human skin grafted onto his body and serving as her consort. He pretends to join them by deactivating the Enterprise's self-destruct and firing at the Phoenix... and deliberately missing. He gets to deliver a Badass Boast ("Resistance. Is. Futile.") before killing the Borg Queen and defeating the Borg single-handedly. Data notes that he actually considered the offer for 0.68 seconds — for an android like him that is an eternity.

Jowy Atreides from Suikoden II is an archetypical example of this trope (and a classic Starscream. Originally the main character's best friend and ally in the oncoming war against the demonic, malevolent and psychopathic Prince Luca Blight (not the Luca above), he betrays said best friend and joins up with Luca, believing that the only way to stop him is from the inside. His plans are successful and at the end of the game, you can choose whether to fight him to the death or not.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Loki makes a habit of this.
In Thor, Loki was raised believing that the Frost Giants are monsters and the arch enemy of Asgard. After being told by Odin that he actually is one that Odin and his wife adopted centuries ago, he tricks his biological father Laufey into believing that he wants him to kill Odin, only to kill Laufey himself, making it look as if he saved his adoptive father's life and hoping to regain his love this way.
In Thor: The Dark World, Loki seemingly betrays Thor as part of their first attempt to destroy the Aether and Malekith.
In Thor: Ragnarok, Loki pretends to betray the Grandmaster after falling from his grace. He leads Thor, Bruce Banner and Valkyrie to the Grandmaster's ships only to activate the alarms so as to get the reward for Thor's capture. Thor sees through it early enough to thwart his attempt.
In Avengers: Infinity War, backed into a corner by Thanos and his forces, Loki offers Thanos his undying loyalty... and then tries to stab him. Thanos sees it coming.
In Avengers: Endgame, Captain America is part of a team time-traveling back to the events of The Avengers to recover Loki's scepter. He ends up in an elevator full of people who he knows are actually HYDRA agents thanks to the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and there's a tense moment when they ask for the scepter back and prepare for a fight. Cap puts them at ease by whispering two words: "Hail HYDRA."

Interestingly done in The Prestige. Angier sends his assistant, Olivia to work for Borden and feed him information. Knowing Borden would be suspicious, he tells her to admit that Angier sent her as a spy, but to claim that she was so mad at Angier for treating her like a pawn that she's willing to feed him information about Angier. In other words, the whole plan is completely transparent, both sides know full well she's working as a double agent, but neither can be sure whether she's a defector or a fake defector.

The Season 10 episode "About a Boy" has the Winchesters discovering that the witch they're after is the same one from Hansel and Gretel, and the large man who they thought was the witch is Hansel himself. He claims he hates the witch for making him and Gretel her servants, and when they tried to escape, she tortured Hansel and then forced him to eat Gretel's heart. Then he offers to help the Winchesters kill her. It's a trick. He works for the witch willingly. Also, he didn't make up that part about him eating his sister's heart. What he did make up was the part where he was forced to do it.

Farscape:
It is revealed late in season 4 that Scorpius has pulled one of these on the Scarran emperor. For a time, it is unclear if his devotion to the Peacekeepers was the real fake, but when he helps destroy the Scarran's evolutionary edge, it becomes obvious that his loyalties never lay with them.
Same season, Braca. He appeared to have switched his loyalties to Grayza following the destruction of Scorpius' Command Carrier at the end of Season 3 - gleefully aiding in torturing him for information and even shooting him. However, it was all part of another of Scorpius' plans. Braca even acted as The Mole for Scorpius while the half-breed was hiding out on Moya.

Digimon Data Squad: Thomas H. Norstein pretends to go over to Kurata's side after Kurata promises to cure Thomas's sickly sister Relena and offer him the intellectual stimulation a genius of his caliber deserves. To sell the deception, he attacks his friends with seemingly lethal intent, nearly killing Keenan and indirectly causing Agumon's temporary death. All the while, Thomas is patiently waiting for an opportunity to sabotage Kurata's plans and free Relena from the bomb strapped to her throat; once it arises, he takes it and goes straight back to his friends, leaving Kurata utterly flatfooted.

Stargate SG-1:
In the episode "Shades of Grey", Colonel O'Neill gets suspended from duty for stealing technology from aliens. This allows him to infiltrate a group of bad guys, but in the process, he alienates his team, who are quite shocked at his behaviour (not being in on the plan). Of course, they're all friends again by the next episode. Interesting thing is that in that episode Daniel appears to have a friendly talk with Jack at the end, and reveals he came because he lost the draw.
Teal'c fools Ba'al into believing he was brainwashed in "Stronghold".
Teal'c is also brainwashed by Apophis into thinking that he was this trope when he was "really" still loyal to Apophis.
Carter also had to pretend to be infected by a Goa'uld symbiote clone among an entire town infected by them to trick them into being arrested by the SGC. In order to sell the deception, she also had to hit one of her allies beforehand. It worked because Carter was once the unwilling host to a Tok'ra symbiote (same species, different ideology), and any host or former host has some naquadah in his or her blood that can be sensed by a symbiote.

Lara of the X-Wing series started off as a bad guy playing The Mole in the New Republic. She caused the near-total destruction of an X-wing squadron, then went back to the Imperials, got disgusted by her newest boss's insistence that We Have Reserves, and engineered his death. Then, awaiting another chance, she went undercover among the New Republic again, joined an X-wing squadron, and started Becoming the Mask and finding that Good Feels Good, so she switched sides and started getting close to the only survivor of the X-wing squadron she'd destroyed. Then her true origin was revealed and she was forced to flee and rejoin the bad guys as a fake defector, contributing to a major New Republic victory. It ends on a bittersweet note at first (she has to live the rest of her life under a different identity to avoid being condemned to death for her actions as an Imperial agent), but a later book shows that things went all the better for her, as she started both a family and a successful business with the aforementioned survivor.

In Crime Story, the lawyer for the Federal task force that is trying to take down Big Bad Ray Luca, pretends to be drunk and gets kicked out of the agency, so that he can become Luca's lawyer, and then inform the task force about everything Luca is doing. However, Luca points out to one of his henchmen who questions whether the lawyer would be loyal to Luca, that even if this lawyer was pretending to go to his side, because of lawyer-client confidentiality rules, nothing he tells the feds can be used against him.

In Mass Effect 3, the cloned Rachni queen, assuming you killed the real queen in 1 will pull this on you just to get access to your big emergency superweapon project, then sabotage the project on behalf of the Reapers. The real queen, should she still be alive, is genuinely on your side though, and her brood of worker drones will provide you with more War Assets than some fleets.

Komorebi is all about Shinsou pretending to become a villain so he can infiltrate the League of Villains, and figure out who The Mole they have in U.A. is. Given how many people thought his powers made him destined for villainy, it's not a hard act to sell; hence why Nezu chose him for it in the first place.

One story option, which will happen most of the time in Tales of Symphonia unless you choose Kratos at the Flanoir doctor scene, features Zelos doing this, in part to get one of the required elements to create the Eternal Sword. In the other story path, he really does join the villains and you have to kill him.
If you piece all the story together, Kratos plays with this trope as well. Ultimately, Kratos doesn't believe in Mithos' vision of the world, but his inherent fatalism — and the knowledge of what happened last time he tried — keeps him from truly abandoning the Cruxis leader. This leads to Kratos playing the two of you up against each other and helping in his own fashion, hoping that ultimately Lloyd will win so Kratos will be able to die. He'll never actively oppose Mithos unless you choose him in the aforementioned scene, however.

Star Wars: The Old Republic:
In Chapter Two of the Imperial Agent storyline, Cipher Nine is ordered to become a Deep Cover Agent in the Republic's Strategic Information Service, with the cover story of having become disillusioned with the Sith Empire due to Darth Jadus's attempted Military Coup in Chapter One. There's an optional path to defect for real in Chapter Three if certain options are taken at the climax of C2.
An Imperial sidequest on Voss has the PC briefly pretend to be a defector in order to get information out of a Republic agent.
Theron Shan betrays the Alliance and goes over to work with the Commander's enemies, getting a bad haircut to boot. Players were initially kept in the dark about his true motives, although many suspected this trope was in play. The arc's conclusion proved them correct. Notably, you don't have to take him back after the truth is revealed. If you're especially heartless, you can even leave him to die of a critical injury.

In the Star Trek Double Helix novel Double Or Nothing, Mackenzie Calhoun needs to infiltrate the Big Bad, so he punches out an admiral. (He was supposed to have a loud argument with him, but he decided that he needed to be punched...to make the charade more authentic, of course). It is subverted, however, in that the Big Bad sees right through it and keeps it hidden until the big moment.

Steve Jinks in Warehouse 13 is fired after pulling a gun on Mrs. Frederic when she insisted on torturing a detainee. He's then recruited by The Dragon to work for the Big Bad. The whole thing was planned by Mrs. Frederic and Jinks offscreen, and they were the only ones in on it until Jinks revealed the plan to Claudia late in the game. Unfortunately, Sykes has his Dragon kill Jinks after his usefulness runs out. Fortunately, Claudia manages to revive him with Johann Maelzel's Metronome, and Jinks reconnecting with his estranged mother in a later episode brings him back fully.

In Zeppelin, Geoffrey Richter-Douglas, a Scotsman of German descent, is a lieutenant in the British Army. He meets Stephanie, a German spy to whom he is attracted. She suggests that he escape to Germany, where the other members of his family and his friends are. He reports this contact to his commanding officer, Captain Whitney, who also wants Geoffrey to go to Germany, but on a secret mission to steal the plans of the LZ36, a new type of Zeppelin under development at Friedrichshafen. Geoffrey pretends to be a deserter and travels to Germany, even getting shot in the arm by fellow British agents to sell the Germans the ruse.

Gargoyles:
In the episode "Revelations", as an initiation into the Illuminati, Matt Bluestone leads Goliath into a trap set by Mace Malone at the Hotel Cabal, where they intend to break him mentally and then interrogate him. Matt ultimately reveals his true intentions when he saves Goliath from being outright killed by Mace. Viewers learn in the end that Goliath was in on it from the beginning. Additionally, Matt gets into the Illuminati regardless, as the only person who realized his intentions was Mace, who is left trapped in the hotel for his failure and driven insane.
In "Protection", Elisa goes undercover as a Corrupt Cop to get evidence on Draco's protection racket. Out of the loop, Goliath and Broadway notice what appears to be strange behavior and are confused by what's gotten into her. However, they pick it up fast enough and even join in the deception to help bring Draco down.

In I, Robot, Sonny pretends to be swayed by VIKI's "undeniable" logic, and suddenly holds Dr. Calvin hostage. It's all a ploy to get them safely out of the room with VIKI so they can head towards her positronic brain and shut it down, but it's only when Sonny winks at Spooner (a gesture that Spooner had earlier described to him as a sign of trust) that he and the audience realize what's going on. Poor Dr. Calvin is still out of the loop.

Lost:
In the episode "The Economist", we see Hurley questioning Locke's leadership. In his next scene, he tells Sayid and Kate that he has abandoned Locke's group. It turns out to be a ruse, to which the audience was kept in the dark.
Benjamin Linus pulls this in "What They Died For", even going as far as to kill Charles Widmore (though that part probably wasn't an act) to convince the Man in Black where his loyalties lie. Oddly enough, he doesn't actually accomplish much, other than to allow Miles and Richard to escape the Man in Black's wrath and eventually get off the island.

Briefly done by Ax, of all people Andalites, in Animorphs. It was a spur-of-the-moment idea, and he only stuck with it long enough to get into a better position to fight back.
In a more extended version, Ax fakes defecting to, er, his own side, technically—when a small Andalite squad comes to Earth, the Animorphs (rightly) suspect their motives and pretend to break up, freeing Ax to go join up with the Andalites and find out what they're up to.

Considering how well she fooled her fellow Blacks, and the Loophole Abuse she used to be able to divulge all (which also entailed a Heroic Sacrifice), it's tempting to call her a Magnificent Bitch despite still being one of the Heroes. She's certainly the mistress of The Plan.

Conrad pulls one of these in Kyo Kara Maoh!.
The event reshapes the entire series and leads to huge amounts of character development—you can pretty much divide the series into 'before' and 'after' this arc, with a brief transition period between his disappearance and his reemergence as Belial's new Dragon.
The audience is not let in on the arrangement, nor is any other living hero. We are given a blatant foreshadowing of the apparent Face–Heel Turn about three minutes before The Reveal.
Conrad wears a similar coat and has a similar scene in the same arena in season three, and you can see Yuuri's stomach turn over as he says half-jokingly 'not this again.' Conrad reassures him. Then he declares his own bid for the Shimaron throne on the strength of an unbroken family line that lost power four hundred years ago. Certainly messes with everyone's plans.
The fact that they still have Conrad's severed left arm in its original sleeve, while he's walking around with two working arms, is a big tip-off that something more convoluted happened than just the most loyal person ever deciding to betray his king or even Brainwashed and Crazy. It's basically 'cause God Is Evil. Or..possessed by evil. Basically God is playing Xanatos Speed Chess with himself, without anyone else suspecting there's more than one will nudging the pieces. Yuuri is the culmination of the good and evil plots because there's no way either of them would have succeeded in getting there if they hadn't built on the other's foundations for their own purposes. You Can't Fight Fate and yet he very much has a choice and control.

Wonder Woman Vol 1: Paula, on at least two separate occasions, uses her old Nazi contacts to Steve Trevor and Diana's benefit by pretending to have "escaped" the Allies to return to her old allegiances (a group she worked for under duress in the first place) and just slip right back in as a Nazi agent. This didn't work too well the second time as the officer suspected something was up and she needed to be rescued, but she was able to lead the good guys to the local Nazi headquarters.

In Watership Down Bigwig tells the Efrafans that he's a member of the Owsla who escaped the destruction of his warren by Men, which is true except Bigwig neglects to mention that he's part of a group of similar refugees hoping to spring some of the Efrafan does for their own warren.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
The beyond honorable Jon Snow becomes a fake defector in order to spy on the wildling king, Mance Rayder, for the Night's Watch at the orders of his superior officer, Qhorin Halfhand; he is forced to kill Qhorin Halfhand as Qhorin ordered him to do in order to gain the trust of the wildling leaders. And then to have sex with his new wildling girlfriend every night to maintain their trust. How else would he convince them he's forsworn those vows of chastity he honors so much? He does feel very bad about all this. During his role as fake defector — though he comes to see ordinary wildlings as regular men, women and children and feels compassion for them — he learns of the wildling king's plans to attack the Wall and must work to prevent this and warn the Night's Watch. He comes to fall in love with the aforementioned wildling girl but must leave her as he has always been loyal to the Night's Watch and must fulfill his duty.
The Westerling family counts as well. The family is of minor nobility and is sworn to the Lannisters. After their daughter Jeyne, likely the only family member who doesn't fit this trope, marries the King in the North, Robb Stark, leader of one of the armies opposed to the Lannisters in the War of Five Kings, the Westerlings pretend to declare loyalty to the Starks. However, Robb's direwolf Grey Wind, an Evil-Detecting Dog, indicates that something is wrong about the family. Later, Jeyne's mother reveals to Jaime Lannister that she has been in contact with his father, Tywin Lannister, the head of the Lannister family, and was aware of the planned betrayal of Robb Stark at the hands of one of his sworn families. She also gave her daughter drugs to prevent conception, thus ensuring the male line of the Stark family died with Robb (or so she thought).
Wyman Manderly, ever loyal to the Starks, pretends to defer to the Freys and Boltons after the Red Wedding when it's really all a ruse to dish up some revenge of his own.

Law & Order:
On an episode of the original show, a Mafia boss arranges for two of his underlings to turn stoolie and feed false information about a murder he ordered to the police, so his attorney can reveal the deception at trial and get the case thrown out of court. As a result, when the cops find real evidence linking him to the crime, they can't do anything about it because of double jeopardy.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent has an episode where Goren is forced on leave and ends up working with some bad cops, and his partner nearly shoots him. Yeah, it was all planned by Goren and the captain.

She assumes Jane, her closest associate at the lobbying firm, would be joining her, but Jane publicly sides with Sloane's old firm and stays on. In fact, we find out at the end Jane has been working with Sloane the entire time as part of her Batman Gambit to help get the gun-control bill passed.

Metal Gear Solid: In every single game, Revolver Ocelot is a fake defector to whomever the current game's Big Bad is. He always, always double-crosses his apparent boss at the end. Even more than that, he's not even typically working for the people he "defected" from, but is solely loyal to the Pro-Big Boss faction. In fact, he gave such behavior its name. Other than the chronic backstabbing moments, Ocelot's backstory is that he originally worked for the NSA until he and a colleague of his defected to the Soviet Union. However, it was suggested to be a fake defection due to still working for the CIA. Like mother, like son.

Get Smart:
Siegfried attempts to "defect" to CONTROL, going so far as to turn in several KAOS agents, including his own sister. Eventually, he gives them fake data to divert security away from the CONTROL Chief's Banquet so he can use sleeping gas to kidnap all of CONTROL's leadership in one fell swoop, only to be foiled by Max's lapel flower. note Siegfried had claimed said flower smelled good despite it being artificial. Max deduced Siegfried's sense of smell was being blocked by a nose gas filter, so he decided to secretly wear one as well, pretend to be knocked out, and then catch Siegfired by surprise and hold him at gunpoint.
In an episode, Max is "fired" from CONTROL and becomes a drunk, all part of a scheme to get him approached by KAOS so he can learn their latest evil plan. It turns out to be somewhat pointless, as the KAOS unit was long defunct and being run by infiltrators from various government agencies.

Throughout her story in Freedom Planet 2, Milla is offered a chance to visit her parents again by Serpentine, on the grounds that she swears unwavering loyalty to him and Brevon. While she refuses due to his claims being too absurd to be true from her reckoning, when Bakunawa escapes into orbit above Avalice beyond any planetbound vessel's ability to pursue, she agrees to Serpentine's conditions, up to and including the additional clause of killing her friends "because we're evil and stuff". While newcomers to the series might be forgiven for thinking she might actually take it up, especially given he's holding her trauma over her head like the sword of Damocles, those who know her in-universe and out understand that this is a deal she has no intention of fulfilling.

In Transformers: Robots in Disguise, the Decepticon subgroup claims that they want to defect from the Predacons and join the Autobots. (Since the Decepticons, in this continuity, are actually reprogrammed Autobots, this isn't as unlikely as it sounds.) Optimus Prime welcomes them happily, but their leader's acting abilities aren't quite up to the job, and he reveals that it's a scam just before the Decepticons can find out where the Autobots' secret base is.

Game of Thrones:
After Winterfell is taken by the Ironborn, Osha offers to pledge herself to Theon supposedly to save her own ass. In actuality, she is revealed to be doing it to gain Theon's trust and to allow her to help Bran, Rickon, Hodor and the direwolves escape Winterfell.
Jon Snow joins the wildlings in Valar Morghulis and remains with them throughout Season 3, convincing them that he's a bona fide defector. Killing Qhorin Halfhand (under Qhorin Halfhand's orders) in a one-on-one combat, along with his admission that he was unhappy with Mormont's decision to ally with Craster, went some ways toward convincing the wildlings. That being said, subtlety is definitely not Jon's strong suit, since both Orell and Ygritte immediately pick up on the fact that he's working as a Fake Defector.
In "The Dragon and the Wolf", while Euron doesn't pretend to go over to the heroes' side when everyone is shown a wight and he learns they can't swim, Euron claims he's abandoning Cersei, pulling back his fleet and planning on waiting out the White Walker attack on the Iron Islands. Cersei later reveals the entire thing was a ruse, and that he's really sailing to Essos to recruit the Golden Company to Cersei's side while Daenerys and Jon wage war against the White Walkers. It's more like an evil asshole pretending to be a neutral asshole.

Ikemen Sengoku:
Nobunaga and Hideyoshi's routes have Mitsuhide pretend to betray the Oda forces to get information on their enemies and/or lure them into a trap. This is quite easy for Mitsuhide to pull off, as he's an incredibly shady-looking and acting guy who was already attracting speculation about whether he might be the one who attempted to assassinate Nobunaga at Honno-ji (which was true in the original historical timeline, but not in the alternate one the main character is in).
Mitsunari's route has Mitsunari himself act as the fake defector in his Dramatic ending. He pretends to be the one responsible for burning innocent villages so that Kennyo's Ikko Ikki forces will be distracted long enough by trying to hunt him down for the rest of the Oda forces to gather solid evidence that it was actually Kennyo himself who burned these villages and then blamed them on the Oda.

In Marvel's G.I. Joe, Scarlett, feeling neglected by Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow in favor of the rest of Ninja Force, walks out on them after a heated argument and defects to Cobra. In reality, she's gone undercover under orders from Hawk in order to rescue Dr. Biggles-Jones, a scientist recruited by Cobra to build rail guns for them. Snake-Eyes even stabs Scarlett in a confrontation, which would seem to prove that she's defected, except the Cobras aren't convinced - as a ninja master, Snake-Eyes has perfect control with his swordsmanship, and the stab was surgically precise enough to avoid critical injury. Though Cobra remained suspicious of Scarlett, the arrival of Megatron proved a useful distraction, and as it turned out, Biggles-Jones was a Fake Defector herself, working for an unrevealed agency.

My Little Pony 'n Friends:
In "The Return of Tambelon, Part 3", the heroes join up with a renegade Mook to infiltrate the Big Bad's city, but are led into an ambush instead. It appears that he lied to the heroes about his intentions and led them into a trap, and they bemoan their mistake in trusting him, but in Part 4 this is subverted when it's revealed that he was entirely sincere, but was himself sold out to Grogar.
In "Crunch the Rockdog, Part 2", Wind Whistler pretends to betray the other ponies to Crunch and to sympathize with his ruthlessness and lack of empathy, in order to work up to a pretense of offering him Megan as a victim in order to let the latter get close enough to use the Hearstone on him.

Super Sentai:
In Kousoku Sentai Turboranger Pink Turbo winds up joining the bad guys in an attempt to recover an antidote for the poisoned Blue Turbo by fighting alongside the monster of the week and "accidentally" getting poisoned by it as well forcing it to give her the antidote. Oddly enough this didn't seem to be planned in advance at all, she just happened to take a hit to her head during a battle and decided to fake memory loss to join the bad guys. The other guys had no idea what she was doing until the Reveal when Blue was shown to be healed. She even was perfectly willing to shoot a machine gun at them as part of her plan.
Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman had an episode by the same writer where thanks to a monster with Reset Button powers, The Bad Guy Wins and The Hero Dies. Five Pink then decides Resistance Is Futile and assists in the slaughter of her other siblings. Then, when the monster decides he shouldn't use his powers only when ordered to, Pink then takes advantage of this to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.
Chouriki Sentai Ohranger repeated this plot; only this time, they had it fail. Ohyellow joins the bad guys in an attempt to recover an antidote; however, unlike Pink Turbo faking amnesia, Ohyellow faked cowardice and surrendered instead. Ohyellow also lets herself get hit by the poison darts and tries to get the antidote however she wore a bulletproof vest to protect herself, unlike Pink Turbo who allowed herself to be poisoned. Since Ohyellow doesn't take as many risks, the bad guys aren't fooled and give her a fake antidote instead. They then need to use a backup plan instead.
A not-so-much copy-paste-from-Turborangers Fake Defector plot is also shown in Choujin Sentai Jetman, the 'fake defector' none other than Red Hawk himself, pretending to join the bad guys so they will return his girlfriend-turned-evil. Turns out he was trying to sneak into their base and destroy their mean to transport themselves into the real world. Plan failed, but in the end, their chief praised him and his teammates for being powerful and cunning enough to break through the enemy's defenses.
Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger: Episode 40 has Christmas Org, supposedly an Org that's grown tired of the fighting and is relentlessly tormented by the others for his turn to good; not unlike episode 34's Charcoal Grill Org, he even befriends GaoRed and borrows his G-Phone as an act of trust... But that's all an act and the Org turns out to actually be called Chrismisery Org and is in cahoots with Highness Duke Rasetsu to boot; he even goes as far as mocking Red for trusting him.
Happens again in Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger; Maharo (who was a dragon for the villains before her Heel–Face Turn) makes a deal with Abarekiller and rejoins the villains with all of her former power restored. The heroes quickly learn that this is all part of her plan to A) free Asuka from the dark armor and B) get close to the Big Bad and wait for a chance to strike. The first half of her plan goes smoothly, but not the second half.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger has Luka attempt this to free herself, Joe, Don and Ahim in episode 16... and it fails right off the bat, because Basco, the one who had kidnapped them, didn't buy it for a second.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in a deconstruction of the trope, The Boss "defects" to the side of Big Bad Volgin, but after Volgin decides to nuke one of his research facilities with the American-made nuke she provided at the same time Russian radar detects the American plane which dropped off Naked Snake for an apparently-unrelated mission, the U.S. top brass shifts the blame for the incident onto The Boss to cover their own asses (which she willingly went along with to protect her country's interests), and her defection suddenly becomes a one-way street, making it necessary for Snake to kill her in order to prevent World War III from erupting. Tragically, Snake only learns her defection was fake after he's killed her. It gets even worse in Peace Walker, when it is revealed near the end that Not only was the launching of the nuke planned, but the true objective of both the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater was to kill off The Boss from the start by a single deviously cunning strategist. Coldman even admits (with a sickening amount of glee and satisfaction) that he was the one who set The Boss up.

In Wraith: The Oblivion, an entire Guild, the Mnemoi, pretended to become corrupt to hide that they had been entrusted with saving the memories of Charon, ruler of Stygia, until he could come back. Unfortunately, it worked a little too well; the Mnemoi were hunted down fanatically, and by the time Charon did return, many of his memories were missing because those who held them had been destroyed.

Tiny Toon Adventures, of all shows, pulled this off with Plucky Duck. With Acme Looniversity due to play its hated rival, Perfecto Prep, in the championship game, Plucky seems to betray his Looniversity friends and begin giving Perfecto Prep inside knowledge of the Looniversity's game plan, up to and including a copy of their playbook. On game day, Plucky gives Perfecto Prep advanced knowledge of the plays the Looniversity plans to use...and the Prep students suffer a humiliating defeat, with the final play not only being completely different from Plucky's signal but with Plucky himself scoring the game-winning touchdown. In the end, it's revealed that Plucky was made into a fake defector to sabotage Perfecto Prep's attempts to cheat.

In Kousoku Sentai Turboranger Pink Turbo winds up joining the bad guys in an attempt to recover an antidote for the poisoned Blue Turbo by fighting alongside the monster of the week and "accidentally" getting poisoned by it as well forcing it to give her the antidote. Oddly enough this didn't seem to be planned in advance at all, she just happened to take a hit to her head during a battle and decided to fake memory loss to join the bad guys. The other guys had no idea what she was doing until the Reveal when Blue was shown to be healed. She even was perfectly willing to shoot a machine gun at them as part of her plan.

Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn: Lucky Starr allows himself to be captured by Earth's enemies, the Sirians, and then gives away one of his fellow Councilmen of Science to the Sirians and testifies about his betrayal for Sirius at an interstellar conference. Of course, it's all an elaborate ploy to get on the stand and present testimony that is devastating to Sirius.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "The Cutie Map", despite all of the fake smiles that the Equal Ponies put on, Fluttershy finds them genuinely charming. It's this kindness that allows her and the rest of the Mane Six to convince cult leader Starlight Glimmer that Fluttershy is interested in joining them when all Fluttershy really wants to do is find their cutie marks. This later gets exploited again by the Mane Six to expose Starlight Glimmer as a Hypocrite who doesn't follow her own philosophy.
In "School Raze", Sandbar looks like he's thrown the non-pony students under the bus when he tells Neighsay he doesn't want anything to do with them, and he didn't tell his friends either. Cut to the next scene and he's run off to get the Crusaders for help and they rescue the others.

Doctor Who:
"The Claws of Axos": The Doctor pretends to abandon Earth to the Axon menace to escape with the Master in his TARDIS, only to lure the Master into the heart of the Axos alien being and deal with them both.
Adric does this not once but three times during his tenure as a companion. Unfortunately, most fans miss the "fake" part (except in "Four to Doomsday", where he actually does side with the villain, but only because he seriously believes that Monarch's intentions are benevolent) and use it as credibility towards his status as The Scrappy.
Canton Everett Delaware III in between "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon", to get Amy, Rory, River, and the Doctor all back in one place.

Wolf of The 10th Kingdom is a particularly well-done version of this trope. It keeps you guessing, even right up to the very end, which side he will truly turn out to be on. It helps that, as a deconstruction of many fairy tale tropes, Happy Ever After was not guaranteed by any means, and the ending still remains rather dark…

In the Grand Finale of Sailor Moon, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune do this, and even kill Pluto and Saturn in order to gain Sailor Galaxia's trust (don't worry, they get better). Of course, as it turns out, they only did it because the Applied Phlebotinum handed out to Galaxia's henchmen was the only weapon that could defeat her. Or so it seemed.
This scene often appears in the Sera Myu, or stage musicals, and even has its own song.
In an earlier arc, Sailor Moon herself feigned a falling out with the other senshi and attempted to join the Dark Kingdom so she could find the entrance to the Dark Kingdom. Pity, she tried this on the most cunning of the Dark Kingdom's servants...

Suikoden:
Jowy Atreides from Suikoden II is an archetypical example of this trope (and a classic Starscream. Originally the main character's best friend and ally in the oncoming war against the demonic, malevolent and psychopathic Prince Luca Blight (not the Luca above), he betrays said best friend and joins up with Luca, believing that the only way to stop him is from the inside. His plans are successful and at the end of the game, you can choose whether to fight him to the death or not.
Sialeeds does this when she betrays the heroes in Suikoden V for the same reasoning as Jowy's: kill the corrupt people of the Senate from the inside so that no one will oppose the Prince and Lym.

His success is debatable; on one hand, Slade asks him to train his daughter Rose as the new Ravager, but on the other hand, his actions lead to an encounter with Superman. Revealing both Slade's insight and foresight, Slade prepares a gizmo to give Nightwing's heartbeat the sound of a truthful man rather than a liar.

Pokémon: The Series:
It is implied at the beginning of the Manaphy movie that Jack Walker had to pull off a fake defection in order to get close to Phantom and retrieve Manaphy's egg to prevent him from accessing the Samiyan Sea Temple.
In Pokémon the Series: Black & White, there is an arc where Meowth and travels with Ash and co. on their way to Nimbasa City. Naturally, it turns out this was all part of another scheme. Meowth joins Ash's group, after claiming to have been fired from Team Rocket, for several episodes in order to lure them into a trap set by Team Rocket at Nimbasa City. Ash's Pikachu didn't buy it for a second, glaring at him constantly.

Chouriki Sentai Ohranger repeated this plot; only this time, they had it fail. Ohyellow joins the bad guys in an attempt to recover an antidote; however, unlike Pink Turbo faking amnesia, Ohyellow faked cowardice and surrendered instead. Ohyellow also lets herself get hit by the poison darts and tries to get the antidote however she wore a bulletproof vest to protect herself, unlike Pink Turbo who allowed herself to be poisoned. Since Ohyellow doesn't take as many risks, the bad guys aren't fooled and give her a fake antidote instead. They then need to use a backup plan instead.

There's an example of a reverse of this trope in The Living Daylights in which Koskov pretends to defect to the West. Turns out he's playing both sides against the middle and used the defection as an opportunity to get his girlfriend offed by James Bond (who doesn't actually do it and ends up taking off her clothes later in the movie).

Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger: Episode 40 has Christmas Org, supposedly an Org that's grown tired of the fighting and is relentlessly tormented by the others for his turn to good; not unlike episode 34's Charcoal Grill Org, he even befriends GaoRed and borrows his G-Phone as an act of trust... But that's all an act and the Org turns out to actually be called Chrismisery Org and is in cahoots with Highness Duke Rasetsu to boot; he even goes as far as mocking Red for trusting him.

In Warrior Cats, it appears that Tigerheart is eagerly following his grandfather Tigerstar's teachings, but he's really spying on Tigerstar and the Dark Forest, unbeknownst to the reader and other characters (even Ivypool, who worked as a spy herself after joining and realizing that they're really hell-bent on destroying the Clans.)

During the climax of The Negotiator, Roman is trying to convince Big Bad Frost to talk, but Sabian notices that it's not working, drags Roman out of hiding, and shoots him, stating that in compensation, he wants half of the money that Frost stole. Frost agrees, destroys the evidence, and walks out of the house to find that his entire agreement with Sabian was broadcast to the police, implicating him quite effectively. Sabian only shot Roman non-fatally.

Dragons: The Nine Realms: In order to recover the Book of Dragons from the Big Bad Buzzsaw, Alex spends most of the episode pretending to have left the Dragon Riders and that she wants to help Buzzsaw find the dragon he is seeking. She even has her dragon Feathers attack the other Riders when they come to save her. This earns her Buzzsaw's trust and allows her to successfully recover the Book of Dragons.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In "Enemies", Angel pretends to have turned into his evil alter ego Angelus. Buffy is in on the plan, but the audience doesn't find out until the moment when Angel reveals himself.
Angel used a much shorter version of this in "School Hard". During Spike's attack on Sunnydale High, he strolled right up with Xander in a headlock, claiming to have been playing Buffy. Spike didn't buy it, having known Angelus much better than Faith did.

The Gamer's Alliance:
Briss betrays the Grand Alliance and escorts one of the heroes' enemies to Trinity Gask where he hopes to meet with Big Bad Glaurung Losstarot and gain her trust. However, it's only an act on Briss's part because he's still secretly loyal to the heroes and see his defection as the only means to appear to genuinely join the villains and gain their trust so that he can proceed with his plan to gather intel. Things get a bit more complicated for him when he is reunited with his old fling Tiyana in the city and learns that she is working for the villains and is pregnant with his child.
Ferron defects to the Alliance's side after the Yamatian Invasion because his superiors in the dark clergy betrayed him and he wants revenge. Although he helps the heroes deal with his former colleagues and befriends many people in the Alliance, he has a far more sinister agenda in mind. He almost switches sides for real because of all the friends he has gained, but eventually decides to subvert his character development and betrays the heroes at a crucial moment because his lust for power overshadows his growing friendship with the heroes.
Xerathas, Varalia, and the Shadow also join the Alliance's heroes during the Vanna arc and claim they'll help the Alliance so that they can atone for their actions as well as prevent a greater threat from rising. Knowing what they're dealing with, the heroes don't buy the excuse, but decide to let them tag along while keeping an eye on them. To the heroes' surprise, the trio are surprisingly helpful during many encounters, which makes many Alliance members question whether the trio have finally seen the light. Everything changes during the battle of Vanna, however, when the three antagonists reveal the extent of their plan and betray the heroes at the Alliance's most vulnerable moment while the Alliance is busy dealing with another threat.

In the Garlic Jr. Saga of Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo did a variation of faking defection to Garlic Jr: He ended up being bitten by one of the Black Water Mist-infected characters, and then faked infection himself and fought Gohan and Krillin ruthlessly in order to get close enough to Garlic Jr. and then free Kami and Mr. Popo. He only let Krillin in on the plan when he was "biting" him on the neck, resulting in Krillin faking defection as well.

Star Trek: Voyager:
A subtle variation, over multiple episodes of Season 2. Tom Paris starts showing up late, picking a fight with his superior, and starts the crew gambling. He lines up a new job and is leaving the ship forever. Instead of getting approached by the other side, they decide to kidnap him, exactly according to plan.
In "Counterpoint" an officer for an anti-telepath society seeks sanctuary on Voyager, claiming to have never really agreed with the policy and to have worked to stop his subordinates from finding out how Voyager's crew were smuggling refugees. It turns out to be an elaborate sting to find the wormhole the refugees are escaping to and destroying it. Janeway out-gambits him]].

Mega Man:
In the manga adaptation of Mega Man X, it turns out Storm Eagle was still loyal. Unfortunately, he had to keep up appearances, and X was too strong. Zero only tells X after Storm Eagle is fatally wounded.
In the manga version of Mega Man X4, the Repliforce announces their intention to secede from humanity and launch an independent Reploid nation as part of a coup d'etat against the human governments, resentful over the fact they were accused of being Mavericks and ordered to turn in their weapons. Zero pretends to go along with Repliforce's rebellion in order to find Colonel and goes as far as to slash X with his saber to sell the act.

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers episode "Renegade Rangers" was all about this trope, with the heroes pretending to go criminal in order to get to the Black Hole Gang. MaCross (second in charge) never believed it for a second, but Daisy O'Mega, a former Bounty Hunter who went renegade herself, is taken in by the ploy (and Shane's Chick Magnet ability).

In the Hades saga of Saint Seiya, all of the Gold Saints who died during the events of the 12 Temples arc are resurrected after swearing loyalty to Hades, God of the Underworld. Thus, they lead an invasion of the Sanctuary with the intent of assassinating Athena, eventually succeeding it. We then learn that the reason behind their betrayal was to kill Athena so she can awaken her Eighth Sense and descend into Hades's Underworld without being bound by its rules, and b)shed the Goddess's blood in order to resurrect Athena's Cloth so she can use it to fight the Lord of the Underworld.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In "Gambit", Picard (rather inadvertently) goes undercover with a group of Space Pirates; when Riker shows up, Picard sets him up as the fake defector to keep him alive. Meanwhile, they had to act like they didn't know each other and would happily kill one another.
In the appropriately titled "The Defector", a Romulan officer falsely claims to be a middle-ranking clerk of negligible importance who had come across some important information about a secret base which the Romulans planned to launch an attack on the Federation from. His defection was sincere, but he was lying about his identity. He wanted to warn the Federation about the attack so a war could be prevented, but he did not want to further betray his homeworld. He finally admits that he is an Admiral and agrees to hand over any required information to the Federation. Tragically, it turns out that he is the Unwitting Pawn, fed false information by Commander Tomalak to lure the Enterprise into crossing into the Neutral Zone first so they could ambush them and justify an invasion of the Federation. Fortunately, Captain Picard arranged ahead of time for the Klingons to sneak in with them in case they needed rescuing. Both sides retreat without a war starting.
