Right, that’s sort of the idea. It seems foolhardy either way going back to that crew. I know it was cut for Ascendant but Zorii says he wants to blow Poe’s brains out, which feels fitting if he was actually a rat or undercover cop, basically. The sentiment that she wants to kill him is there regardless.

I’m not typically one to care for canon, but all the novels and comics before TROS established that Poe was a New Republic pilot before he left to join the Resistance. Zorii’s line contradicts that, and leaves no room for that to still make sense. You could keep the same line, but have Zorii say, “-left to join the Republic”. I’d be happy with even that little change.
Or, maybe Zorii just found out Poe was working undercover, rather than Poe having somehow screwed up their operation.

I get what Terrio was going for, giving all of our heroes a shady past, but it just hadn’t been established that way at all for Poe up until that movie. And it is kinda weird to have the Latino character turn out to be a drug runner imo. Having him be undercover sort of mitigates that.
