Misuse. Characters must realize and comment in-universe on how they could have avoided the plot.


* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: If Hand is telling the truth that she expected Coulson's team to find out and that every asset was needed for the op... why wasn't the Bus one of the assets in use for the op? Why not just ''tell'' them that they're the extraction team?

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Saffron Burrows' natural English accent is definitely audible at times, such as when she says "Seems Fury has a soft spot for his favorites."

** Fitz gets a cart stuck in a sliding glass door, then gets stuck behind it when he finally works the cart through. [[http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1rsdfn/i_am_chloe_bennet_and_i_play_skye_from_marvels/cdqfflw?context=3 According to Chloe Bennet,]] this wasn't scripted.

* {{Manipulative B|astard}}itch: Agent Hand either knew Coulson's team would [[AllAccordingToPlan find out there was no extraction plan and Coulson would go in]] after his people or else she was just saving face by ''[[IMeantToDoThat pretending]]'' she meant for things to happen that way.

* NotSoStoic: Subverted. At first glance, it seems that May is incredibly calm with regards to Fitz and Ward's mission (especially compared to Skye and Simmons). This is especially evident during the scene where she is calmly doing Tai-Chi on the plane. According to WordOfGod, she wasn't. She was doing Tai-Chi ''because'' she was getting anxious about them and needed to reboot.

* ActingUnnatural: Simmons makes a hilariously bad attempt to act casual (coached by Skye through an earpiece) when Agent Sitwell catches her attempting to access a computer terminal without authorisation. After first claiming to be looking for the bathroom only to be told that she is staring at a wall panel, she then attempts to compliment his head. It gets so bad that Skye has to tell her to stop talking.



* ArcWords: Coulson catches onto his own use of "It's a magical place" when someone mentions Tahiti, realizing that there's more going on than he's been told.

* DutchAngle: The opening sequence, where Coulson is being led to an interrogation room with a bag over his head, is full of tilted camera angles.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Simmons gives Fitz a supply of antivenin because Ossetia has lots of “endemic” spider species. An endemic species of a given region is one found in that region and nowhere else. While it’s possible that Simmons meant only to refer to the number of local species in Ossetia, the line definitely sounds as if she thinks she’s saying they’re venomous.

* NoodleImplements: Noodle ''questions'', really. Trying to plan an escape, Ward asks Fitz how long he can hold his breath underwater, whether he's familiar with the term "slam and cram," and ''how attacked Fitz is to his pinky.''

-->'''Fitz''': Very, ''very'' attached, and before you ask another terrifyingly vague question, let me be clear. Any plan that involves any one of those scenarios isn't going to work for me!

* LostFoodGrievance: Fitz is really annoyed when Ward throws away a sandwich made by Simmons, though Ward was justified because the hounds after them would easily catch a whiff of it and find their hiding spot.

* FinishingEachOthersSentences: When concerned about Fitz's safety, Simmons begins finishing Skye's sentences for her. Simmons is actually quite good at predicting what Skye is going to say, but Skye still finds it annoying.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Getting fed up with being LockedOutOfTheLoop with regards to Ward and Fitz's mission, Skye convinces Simmons to help her hack S.H.I.E.L.D. to get access on the mission's files by playing on their shared concern for "our boys". Later, when the two learn that there is no extraction plan, May decides that ''they'' will extract Ward and Fitz by themselves.

** When discussing the Hub, [[TheUltimates the Triskelion]] is mentioned as another major S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Also functions as {{foreshadowing}}, as we see it for real in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', which came out not too long after this episode aired.

* SuicideMission: What the "Overkill Device" mission essentially is. Coulson is absolutely ''[[PapaWolf pissed]]'' that Hand not only sent his agents onto such a mission, but that she had given them a FalseReassurance that they would be extracted. When Hand tries to point out that Romanoff and Barton had been sent by Coulson on missions of this type when they were under his command (and without extraction plan, too), Coulson fires back that he made sure to point this out to them during their mission briefings, ''and they still volunteered to go anyway''.
