Why was there no extraction plan in S01E07, "The Hub"? - Goal Lettering Text on Black Background

In S01E07 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., two members of Coulson's team are tasked by the Hub to go into enemy territory to disable a weapon of some kind. One of the threads of the plot uncovers the fact that there was no extraction plan for these agents. Coulson and his team finally take their jet to rescue their own agents.

My question is, why was there no extraction plan in the first place? Coulson's team was just sitting around, wasn't it?



Best Answer

Agent Hand smiled after Coulson called her out on the lack of an extraction plan. Her plan was to not have a planned extraction, and instead allow the rest of Coulson's team to figure this out and go save Fitz and Ward. She smiled because her plan played out as she hoped, and Fitz and Ward got their extraction.
