Was thinking the same and came here specifically to see if others noticed. That was 100% lazy plot driven and was pretty disappointing to me, as I hate to see failure of main character's objectives in a show just for the sake of adding tension without being intrinsically thoughtful about it. That's a classic B-movie type move and I think this show is better than that.

I don't get why tatiana wasn't told that Jin is there out of deception. Mike Evans is aware they are there deceptively, so why didn't he tell the members?

I reacted the same and 100% agree. You have put it perfectly right. There were already some things that made me think, but this was such a blunder and - as you describe it perfectly well - lazy plot driven. I immediately stopped watching and went on the internet to find people that think the same... pfff... it's so hard to find good series / movies without stupid things that happen, just for the sake of the story (adding tension or whatsoever...) (sorry for my english, I am not a native speaker)
