Johnson is revealed to be a villain in the series finale, and there are clues throughout the series: he overreacts when missions do not go as planned; he most likely arranged the fake pastor at Kira and Craig's wedding before the events of the series; he knew the Swedish villain was posing as Marissa's foreign exchange student; he easily identified that K. C. was disguised as the ambassador "stole"; he would not have been able to save the Coopers when evil relatives took over the family; he was probably the one who hired the bishops for his sinister plots; and he likely planned for non-English-speaking spies to accompany Ernie on a mission.
