Missing Steps Plan	comment	A Missing Steps Plan is an ill-conceived scheme that lacks the "scheme", or at least a well-thought-out one. Often, it's not even clear how The Plan is supposed to work — but the planner thinks it's such a good idea or wants it to work so badly that they've convinced themselves that it just has to work out. Even if they have no idea how it's going to work out. The goal can be anything, such as "make a huge profit," "get the girl," "world domination," and "win." The point is that the plan contains a specific first step and a final step that benefits the planner, but misses a way to connect the two ends. The implementation of the scheme is sometimes, but not always, ridiculously more expensive than any money they could hope to make on the off-chance the scheme is successful. Sometimes, it just flat out does not make sense — but due to the Unspoken Plan Guarantee, if anyone points this out it will of course succeed without a hitch. See also Cut Lex Luthor a Check for when the intellect and hard work used to advance the plan would be far more profitable to the character if he just did an honest day's work, rather than work on his Evil Plan. When the character develops the middle steps as he goes along, it becomes an Indy Ploy. If the middle step is unstated but becomes clear during implementation, it's an Unspoken Plan Guarantee. Compare also the Slippery Slope Fallacy (which is sort of like "Step three: loss"). Murder the Hypotenuse is an extreme example of "then I get the girl"-style plan. When Steps One and Two are all nice and clear but Step Three (the actual goal) is lacking, see And Then What?. If all the steps are defined, but there are far more than there should be, that's Complexity Addiction. Also compare There Is No Rule Six. A subtrope of Non Sequitur. Also known for achieving Meme Status. noreallife

He has no idea how he can profit from this, and as time goes on, he becomes convinced that the longer it takes to reach the payout, the larger it will be.

This business consists of a large office filled with people whose only purpose is to entertain them, a lot of merchandise with their name on it, and a load of expensive giveaways, based on the logic that successful businesses have these things, so that's all they need for success. What they completely ignored was the middle step that involves actually making money or knowing what their company is supposed to do at all. Tom actually does have a semi-coherent idea: organizing/promoting events, which plays to his strengths as a party planner. Unfortunately by the time he tries going through with the idea, the company's already bankrupt.

Or what if Obito just doesn't want to resurrect him in the first place. Admittedly, Madara had Black Zetsu around to keep the plan going smoothly while he's dead, but that's still a lot of work that boils down to "hope it works out".

Missing Steps Plan / int_334120fc	comment	8-Bit Theater: In this Red Mage's escape plan consists entirely of "Jail, Action/Hijinks, Freedom!" Another plan is a variant on the theme. He reasons that the logic of his previous plans was their flaw (since a failure at any one step meant the whole thing fell apart), so he devises a plan utterly devoid of logic; that way, even if one step goes tits up, it didn't actually have any connection to the next step, so the plan as a whole can soldier merrily forward regardless. Black Mage typically gets the Sanity Ball to snark at other people's bad plans, but when he's left to come up with his own, things tend to go sideways in a hurry, usually because he's also Ax-Crazy. Murdering people, going to minimal to no effort to actually hide the corpse, and then expecting everything to proceed as normal is a common feature.

He decides to abandon Mantle and fly Atlas into the upper atmophere away from Salem's army of Grimm. The plan rests on Atlas' Hard Light shield maintaining an artificial atmosphere and Salem having no presence in the city. It skips over the problem of abandoning its source of Dust (meaning the shield will eventually fail) and Salem already having a known presence in the city. Even when Salem breaks the shield and lands her army on Atlas, Ironwood still doesn't change course, so irrefutably single-minded in his plan.

He was so successful at this that he never got around to figuring out what Step Two was supposed to be. To his great amazement the company actually developed a Step Two on its own but he does not find out what they were actually selling until the very end when Microsoft forced them out of business.

The original fanfic implies that the facts Marinette mentioned (and Lila knows one of the Miraculous has the power of time travel) did an acceptable job scaring her straight, but two Recursive Fanfictions (Karmic Backlash and Karma Overbalance), revolve around the possibility that Marinette's gambit is this kind of plan, and in both fics it fails because Marinette forgot that two things Lila hates above all are Marinette and not being in control.

Missing Steps Plan / int_59da62aa	comment	Benny in Fallout: New Vegas is a Big Bad Wannabe with aspirations to control the titular city, but he doesn't seem to have a plan for how to do this other than stealing the Platinum Chip and using it to upgrade the Securitrons. Anything past that is uncertain. (Keep in mind, pulling off the same plan in-game is a six-part questline concluding with a massive pitched battle.) If you ask him how he thinks he can succeed, he says "it's... it's coming together." The fact that he gets caught within minutes of trying to put the Platinum Chip to use in the Legion camp indicates that it wasn't coming together quite fast enough.

Missing Steps Plan / int_5d4da196	comment	Spider-Man's Green Goblin is never quite clear on what exactly his evil plan is, only that Spider-Man is the only one who can stop him from doing it and getting Spider-Man to join him in doing... whatever it is... will guarantee its success. However, this is slightly mitigated by the fact that the Goblin is completely insane, and is really just doing shit For the Evulz. (The Goblin has Norman's arrogance dialed up to eleven and with super-technology, and his obsession with making Spider-Man his protege mirrors Norman's greater fondness for Peter than his actual biological son, so at least the 'Spider-Man is necessary' part makes some degree of sense.)

How they intend to kill the resulting swarms of infinitely reproducing horrors out of Lovecraft's worst nightmares is never made clear, nor is there any apparent impulse in the creatures themselves to seek out and defend areas with resources in them; they seem to prefer hanging around areas with plenty of divers and boats and eating people.

He starts ordering the crews of the Copps Coliseum to remake the arena to hockey-only, brushing off how he'll have to pay millions in fines and fees for all the basketball contracts that were canceled. He calls up Carl Yankowski and offers him box seats for the first Hamilton game. Just one tiny problem: He does all this before the NHL owners meet to okay the deal, so he doesn't actually own the team yet. As soon as Yankowski tells the NHL that Blasillie is planning to move the Penguins to another country without their knowledge or permission, the owners unanimously veto the whole thing.

Missing Steps Plan / int_6a8ce345	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: Several of Zuko's schemes to capture Aang fall into this, to the point that Iroh directly calls him out on this. For instance, in the first season finale, he infiltrates the North Pole to kidnap Aang while he's communing with the Spirit World. This works—except now Zuko is alone with a hostage and no transport in hostile territory, which also happens to be the coldest place on Earth. If not for the fact that Team Avatar found him, he would likely have succumbed to frostbite inside of a few hours. Later on, he manages to track down Appa, the group transport who's been captured by the Earth Kingdom, but as Iroh points out, there's nothing Zuko can actually do with Appa now that he's got him: killing him won't really make a difference, and trying to hold him for ransom won't work when Zuko has no way to contain or control him (Zuko is currently living in a city tea shop, Appa is a creature the size of an elephant that can fly). Iroh argues that this is because Zuko has succumbed to Honor Before Reason, with his obsession with capturing Aang having long passed any kind of actual sense or logic—doing things to hurt or capture Aang even when there's no possible way it could pay off for him. Sokka's "Day of Black Sun" invasion plan is based on how an upcoming eclipse will temporarily rob Firebenders of their powers for a half-hour at most; he begins working on it in the middle of season two and enacts it in the middle of season three. The plan consists of:

Its personnel like to talk about how their technology is the only hope for humanity's survival, technology that has let them develop Synths, incredibly advanced androids that are virtually indistinguishable from humans. The problem is that they've fallen into a sort of Synth feedback loop, so all their interactions with the rest of the Commonwealth involve either attacking or infiltrating them with Synths, without any wider plan or endgame.

Missing Steps Plan / int_6cbd00ce	comment	Have you ever wondered how the dragon scale got into Max and Emmy's house in Dragon Tales? Well, years ago, a lone dragon was so desperate for companionship that she invented mystical dragon scales that, when used in conjunction with a Magical Incantation, would send the user to Dragon Land, and scattered them across Earth. This allowed her to have human friendship. But, she'd forgotten to put in a way for the user to return to their home. So when Max and Emmy use their scale for the first time, they initially think they'll be trapped there. Fortunately, Quetzal knows magic too and modifies their scale to be able to reverse the teleportation as needed, albeit with a different incantation.

But Yolko also got Kirito and Asuna involved, which serves no purpose in this plan. The entire scenario turns out to be the result of one of these, with the person enacting it aware of it and deciding to fill in the blanks later. Kayaba accidentally created a glitch that killed players, and was losing his mind from sleep deprivation after rushing out the game, so the best solution he could come up with was to pretend I Meant to Do That. After two years he never manages to fill in the missing step, at least in part because he was forced to intervene after a fifth of the player population managed to die in just the first month.

Missing Steps Plan / int_7a7a1a86	comment	Aliens: Done several times, most notably with their plans to escape once they discover the colony will soon self-destruct. Notably missing in Step 3 is how the rest of the team was planning on getting up to him or when they were planning to do so. At no point after sending him are they concerned about leaving in time until after the battle where they have fled from the aliens. They even use welding devices to barricade themselves in without considering the effects on an escape plan. It is only through the luck of Newt pointing out the ventilation shafts to them that they have a method to reach Bishop. Lesser examples would include the marines intending to rescue hostages while armed with weapons that will almost certainly cause collateral damage (flame-throwers, grenades, explosive ammunition, all against enemies that have acidic blood) and Burke intending to infect Ripley and Newt and then sabotaging the sleep pods of the remaining marines so he can bring the aliens past quarantine. While there is a Step 2 (use armed force to safely kill aliens while minimizing harm to civilians/sabotage all of the sleeping pods of the marines without them noticing, jettisoning the bodies, and then making up a plausible story), it's just that Step 2 is extremely unrealistic. The former is possibly justified because the marines are cocky and their commanding officer is inexperienced, while the latter is definitely justified because Burke is desperate.

He is in love with Fiona but is also in a Citizenship Marriage with a drug lord's daughter. He is broke but cannot go back to stealing cars for a living since being arrested would get his wife deported and her drug lord father would be violently pissed off if that happened. Jimmy then hits on the idea to go back to university and become a doctor. Not only does he lack the funds to do so but there is no guarantee that he would graduate given his temperament. Everyone else sees the idea as horribly mistimed but Jimmy holds onto it like an Idiot Ball.

Rushmore to mount them on a giant robot body, only to find they had no plan for what the giant robot was supposed to do afterward. In another issue, they planned to destroy all the cereal in the world so that their 1 million dollar cereal "Fang Flakes" would create a cereal monopoly. How did they plan to destroy all the cereal in the world? They forgot to figure out how.

Missing Steps Plan / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: This starts out as Trafalgar Law's plan for how and an alliance of himself and Luffy will overthrow one of the Four Emperors, Kaido. Step 1: Take down Doflamingo. Step 2: ? Step 3: Take down Kaido. He says he'll tell Luffy and his crew the next phase when they get to it, but he doesn't actually have a next phase. This is because initially, Law doesn't actually care about Kaido at all. His priority is revenge on Doflamingo and his real plan is to sabotage Doflamingo's ability to make weapons for Kaido, which will result in Kaido killing Doflamingo. But when that sabotage mission escalates into Law and Luffy fighting Doflamingo directly and taking him down themselves, that means it's now them who will be the targets of Kaido's vengeance. So now Law has to actually come up with a Step 2. And try his best to account for the fact that Luffy will do his own thing rather than sticking to the plan.

This will supposedly convince Marinette to dump them all, transfer back to her old school, and forgive all her former friends for the way they drove her out in the first place. Nino points out the obvious flaws in her plan, yet Alya continues to insist that he and the others just aren't seeing how brilliant and surefire it is.

Missing Steps Plan / int_a944b4bb	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: In The Hobbit, both Bilbo and Gandalf note that the Dwarves' plan to reclaim the Lonely Mountain leaves out the whole question of what they'll actually do about the fire-breathing dragon that stole it from them in the first place. The film version actually had a somewhat plausible plan: Steal back the crown jewels, use them to crown Thorin as King, and then have him call in alliances from the other dwarf nations to help deal with the dragon. The Dragon Smaug is able to bring Bilbo to complete stop by pointing out another missing step: after the Dwarves give Bilbo his share, how is he going to get it home? The book and film came up with different answers: In the book, he only took as much treasure as he could easily transport with a single pony (which was a tiny fraction of what he was due, though it still took him close to eighty years to spend it all). In the movie, he didn't take any of the treasure, instead claiming the smaller treasure trove left by the trolls much closer to home. In Lord of the Rings, part of what motivates Boromir's brief turn is the realization that the Fellowship has no idea how to get the Ring into Mordor. Whatever route was originally planned went off the bridge with Gandalf, and the current route has them passing through a rocky labyrinth and then either well-traveled enemy ground or a treacherous marshland, while the orcs in the area know of their presence—not to mention the only entrance they know about is the Black Gate, one of the most well-guarded places on the planet. Frodo and Sam had even less of an idea for how to get around these problems until Gollum showed up.

They would go to some ridiculous expense to get some item that would brainwash the Super Friends into walking into a volcano, thus clearing the way for the Legion's conquest of the world or something.

He gets called on this twice. The first time, he claimed he'd just buy out another company with his profits, but when potential investors start asking, the only thing he could show them was a "dinky little program [he'd] written for fun". On at least one occasion, it was obvious to anyone what Step 2 should be, except Jason himself. He created a website that contained nothing but repeated requests for the viewer to buy advertising space from him. When Peter asked him where the content is, Jason just got confused.

Blake's plan to dethrone the Cult of Adam in favor of Sienna is: "Get into the White Fang. Be recruited. Put our support behind Sienna. Find and close down the fanatics. Something. Profit." Blake hopes that as the team leader, Ren can fill in the gap. Subverted when Qrow and Ozpin meet up with Jaune's team. Jaune has a fine plan: Go to Mistral, get supplies and transportation from one of his mother's allies, go to the Grimmlands, infiltrate Salem's tower (which Jaune knows well because he grew up there), and rescue Pyrrha (who they know is alive because Salem sent them a selfie). The problem is, Qrow and Ozpin are Locked Out of the Loop regarding Jaune being the son of Salem, so it sounds like "Go to Mistral, get to the Grimmlands somehow, and rescue someone we have no proof is even alive." Jaune has to admit he wouldn't follow that plan either, and doesn't blame Ozpin for trying to take over.

Once people realize that the corporation was basically doing nothing, and that everybody was working without pay, everybody left except the Eds (which of course is Truth in Television). In the episode where Ed makes a scam, the plan goes from zany to ridiculous and disjointed. In the end, it turns out he was attempting to recreate the plot of one of his horror(?) comic books. Many of Eddy's plans could probably be summed up as this, especially ones where he actually seems to go out of his own way to sabotage, such as randomly putting a bowling pin in a cream puff they were selling (to make it bigger maybe?)

The mysterious "Phase 2" that will transform underwear into profit remains completely in the dark; the gnomes' chart that visualizes their plan only shows a big question mark. Interestingly, the gnomes might not know what "step two" is, but they all assume that there is one, that some other gnomes must know what it is, and that they're keeping it secret for a very, very good reason. Any time "step two" is pointed out or questioned, the gnome will draw a blank or remain silent before moving on without ever giving an answer. Season 12's "Canada on Strike" has two examples: Canadian Presidentnote Yes, we know Canada doesn't have a President Steven Abootman enacts a resolution that Canada will go on strike until other nations cave in and give Canada more money. Only problem is that they never figured out how other countries would notice that Canada is on strike, since Canada doesn't actually export very much to them. The only ones who suffer from the strike end up being the Canadian workers. The boys post an Instant Web Hit on YouTube and think they've struck it rich. However, they don't conceive of a method to actually monetise the video's popularity (at the time, YouTube hadn't yet worked out a way to compensate creators for their videos).

Step 2: ????. Step 3: Regina's defeated! This is even lampshaded by Prince Charming who asks how exactly killing Medusa will help, does she plan on sending Regina Medusa's head in a box? Not only does this plan fail miserably, but Charming is very nearly killed.

Missing Steps Plan / int_e25322af	comment	The Homestar Runner video Best Caper Ever revolves around Strong Bad trying to figure out what the middle steps of his plan were after successfully pulling it off. All he remembers was that step one was to steal Homestar's drink and step two was have the Cheat pee in Homestar's drink. Somehow, his plan got from that to Homestar ending up stranded in the Arctic Circle while Strong Bad somehow has a satellite feed of Homestar drifting on an ice floe.

Missing Steps Plan / int_e7d1ee73	comment	In Blood & Treasure, Danny and Lexi track down Keeler, a man who masterminded the brilliant theft of ten nearly priceless rare paintings. Keeler had put major effort into a heist so amazing that professional thief Lexi is impressed by it. They track Keeler down to find he's working at a rough shack in Havana. They press him on where they can find one of the paintings and to their shock, Keeler pulls the entire pack out from under the counter. He sardonically notes that he was so focused on stealing the paintings that it didn't occur to him until too late that the paintings were so rare and priceless and the heist was such a huge deal that there was no way he could sell any of them even on the black market ("I couldn't give them away!"). Thus, instead of retiring as a rich man, he's been stuck eking out a meager living in Havana while sitting on a fortune in art.

Later, when the Big Bad reveals that he didn't actually have a reason for tampering with the MMORPG and trapped ten thousand people just for the sake of doing so, Raxis rages that his plan is even worse and now boils down to, "Make Game, Trap Players, ???, Players Trapped!!!"

Missing Steps Plan / int_f43b3a51	comment	The classic Diagnosis: Murder episode "Till Death Do Us Part" has newlyweds Cindy and Phillip conspire to kill Cindy's dad, frame her stepmother for it and they inherit everything. An extended Imagine Spot has the pair going through their plan, which appears very well done, taking into account eventualities and even using resident doctor/sleuth Mark Sloan to find the evidence they've planted to implicate Denise. Then comes the actual murder...where nothing goes to plan. It's soon clear that it never occurred to the pair that it might have been a good idea to practice a run-through just in case, say, Phillip has more trouble than expected getting the cap off the vial of poison or Cindy finding that running from one room to the other in her wedding dress isn't so easy or they can't even get out of bed on time. Just one "rehearsal" and the pair would have gotten away with it.

One Loop has her trying to replace Applejack. Her attempt is terrible - the disguise is see-through, she doesn't look anything like Applejack, hasn't bothered to hide her horn, and her accent is atrocious. Applejack had already stopped her before Twilight even caught up to her. Another has her replace Pinkie Pie, and when "caught" admits replacing Pinkie Pie was the entire plan.

Missing Steps Plan / int_f9f11530	comment	Shivers (1975): The parasites are ostensibly to be a part of surgery-free medical treatment, but according to the Mad Scientist's notes, they are "a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease that will hopefully turn the world into one beautiful, mindless orgy". Somehow this will save the human race. Obviously, it wouldn't, for a plethora of reasons.note First, while sex may be great, it's still a strenuous activity, and you can only do that for so long before wearing yourself out. Humans themselves have actually used bioweapons against certain pest species that caused the males to attempt mating until they simply died of exhaustion. Second, if people are just having orgies non-stop then they aren't gathering or maintaining the resources they need to survive, such as food and shelter. Furthermore, indiscriminate sex with relatives, older women, or children would inevitably lead to a decline in genetic fitness or even injury or Death by Childbirth for the last. Hobbes was just a loon.

Missing Steps Plan / int_fd0b756	comment	In The Hobbit, both Bilbo and Gandalf note that the Dwarves' plan to reclaim the Lonely Mountain leaves out the whole question of what they'll actually do about the fire-breathing dragon that stole it from them in the first place. The film version actually had a somewhat plausible plan: Steal back the crown jewels, use them to crown Thorin as King, and then have him call in alliances from the other dwarf nations to help deal with the dragon. The Dragon Smaug is able to bring Bilbo to complete stop by pointing out another missing step: after the Dwarves give Bilbo his share, how is he going to get it home? The book and film came up with different answers: In the book, he only took as much treasure as he could easily transport with a single pony (which was a tiny fraction of what he was due, though it still took him close to eighty years to spend it all). In the movie, he didn't take any of the treasure, instead claiming the smaller treasure trove left by the trolls much closer to home.
