The relevant season one info is that Bell is on the other side in dubious levels of communication with Nina. An ex-ZFT member who due to the context of the episode is about as trustworthy as one of them will get, says Bell is funding ZFT. A ZFT leader, David Robert Jones, is working to get to the other side and attacks Nina, stealing part of her arm, to do so. He implies to Olivia before he dies that he is going to see William Bell and the tone of voice is arguably threatening and certainly indicative of some rivalry. Nina herself says that Bell would never fund a terrorist organisation and that this is all Big, Bad Jones' doing to try and get back at Bell for firing him years ago and not thinking he was a genius.
I. . . barely remember any of this. I am a deficient casual viewer. Anyway I am totes on board with your theory. I don't need Nina to be Evil, I just want to see her be IN CHARGE OF SOME SHIT and Making Stuff Happen on her own. I don't know if the show intends to realize the potential for awesome of Nina and Broyles knowing more than they let on, about each other and about Bell, and just generally. I do kind of hope that we see that she had an agenda apart from Bell's in some way, because the whole messenger/hero worship thing was just annoying. Ugh there's no way she wasn't in love with Bell, is there?
