Today's trope is the Regretful Traitor
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RegretfulTraitor

Sometimes, after a traitor makes their FaceHeel Turn, they might, after some time, regret their treachery. The reasons for this may be that things didn't quite go according to plan, they realized that Being Evil Sucks, they were Forced into Evil, Trapped in Villainy, or maybe fate forced them to betray their allies. Whatever the cause, a Regretful Traitor is likely to apologize later on or in rare cases, even ask for forgiveness from their former allies.
