Coil's Betrayal marks Coil's betrayal of the Undersiders.
Prelude
After she has an adverse reaction to the revelation of Dinah's kidnapping, Coil realizes Skitter is likely to turn on him at some point.
Coil starts taking precautions in anticipation of the Undersiders' attempts at betrayal and sets up to betray Skitter first. When sent to intimidate the Mayor, Trickster carries recording devices for Leet to create the "famine engine", a device that mimics Skitter's power.<ref>Monarch 16.13</ref>
At the same time the Undersiders, mainly Skitter and Tattletale, begin planning to defeat Coil. They do not tell the others about the extent of the plan, ensuring that they were able to keep the plan secret.
Battle
Skitter was teleported into a building, was shot and then got locked in it as it was set on fire. This pissed Skitter off.<ref>Monarch 16.10</ref>
Aftermath
The Undersiders subverted and absorbed all of Coil's wealth and connections.

Blind, arm in a sling, limping, coughing, smoke inhalation, broken ribs, with a several-ton Case-53 Class-S mutation that hates the shit out of her on the loose.
The victory was really Tattletale's more than Skitter's. The foreshadowing of Tattletale being up to something extended back to arc 3, there were several notes and hints dropped leading into it.
Could I have done it better? Sure. I don't wholly disagree on your overall point, but I do think you're being a tad unfair here. - comment by Wildbow.</ref>
