Unspoken Plan Guarantee	comment	The chances of The Plan succeeding are inversely proportional to how much of the plan the audience knows about beforehand. As corollaries, you can ensure A Simple Plan's success by making it an unspoken plan, and guarantee failure by telling the audience the full details of the Zany Scheme. Expect to hear the phrase "I've got a plan" spoken by one of the characters with no further explanation before the cut to the next scene. Explaining The Plan after it's been carried out is optional. This, by the way, is why heroes always manage to thwart the villains' Evil Plan. The villains always insist on boasting about their evil plan and how exactly they're going to pull it off. Admittedly, the reason for revealing only failed plans to the audience is obvious. There's no drama in something going wrong if no one knows what was supposed to happen. Conversely, where's the drama in seeing exactly what you were just told would happen? The only exception is when the plan is Crazy Enough to Work; when every bullet point could Go Horribly Wrong, then each success is a big, suspense-building deal. As a general rule of thumb, if things do go according to how the audience is told, you can expect that the characters are walking into a trap. This often overlaps with The Law of Conservation of Detail â€” if a character mentions what they intend to do, rather than just letting us see what they do, it must be because their intention is relevant â€” which means that their intention and what actually occurs are different. If the characters are keeping the plan a secret in-setting (rather than merely not letting the audience in on it), authors have a number of justifications handy. Perhaps the hero's allies are under enemy surveillance, or the bad guys can read minds. Perhaps they have other methods for making people talk. Maybe somebody on your team might be an enemy agent. If so, the only way to keep your opponents in the dark is to lie to the people on your side about what the plan is, or not tell them the plan at all. A few other justifications include: The plan includes a deception, and the planner's allies aren't in on it so that their reactions to the apparent situation will be convincing. The plan must be enacted right now. The planner is cut off from his allies or doesn't have any in the first place, so there's no point in explaining unless he likes to talk to himself. The planner is making up the plan as he goes along; no sense trying to spell out a plan that's half-formed at best. The planner's allies would refuse to help or even try to stop him if they knew what he planned to do. Perhaps his plan is unethical or extreme, or perhaps he intends to sacrifice himself and knows they wouldn't want that. The planner is relying on people behaving in a certain way, and letting the subject know that there's a plan at all will make them act differently; the planner, therefore, has to keep quiet. The planner wants to keep his allies out of it, and knows they'd insist on helping if they knew what he was doing. Related to the above, there are a few snags that can crop up when this appears in a video game â€” since the audience is also often one of the executors of the plan, and giving a player a scenario to clear without telling them what they're supposed to do to clear it is a fast way to really annoy players. See also Obstacle Exposition, Gambit Roulette, "I Know What We Can Do" Cut, Despite the Plan, Impossible Mission Collapse, This Is No Time for Knitting. This rule is sometimes violated as a form of Padding. If you want the plan to succeed the way it's explained, consider the Unfolding Plan Montage. Contrast Million to One Chance, where a plan is spoken of, expected by others to fail, yet succeeds. Some Mischievous Body Language may make it clear they have a plan, even if we don't hear it. Can be undone by "The Villain Knows" Moment. May contain spoilers.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_10b03dcf	comment	Batman: Arkham Asylum has a few cases of Batman not saying anything and ultimately surprising the opposition, such as calling the Batmobile to run over Bane, just after the guy has (supposedly) been defeated. And there is one with the player too, as you'd better figure it out before Killer Croc reaches you, or you're toast.

Subverted in "Reign of Gunthers", where Finn keeps his plan to distract Gunther and his army with a huge pile of glass bottles a secret for the sake of being "mysterious". Unfortunately, while Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum try to figure out what to do next, the Gunthers break all the bottles and go right back to rampaging. Double subverted in "Walnuts and Rain", where Finn devises — in an Imagine Spot — an escape plan relying on an extremely unlikely set of Rube Goldberg Device steps. The first few steps of the plan proceed exactly as he imagined it before he is spotted and the plan goes off the rails.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_135f4195	comment	Played with in Dune. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen reveals all the details of his plan to the reader to annihilate the Atreides and their forces, and it goes only partially as planned: Duke Leto is captured and his army destroyed, but Leto's woman and heir escape due to a co-conspirator defecting. Later, Paul's plan for revenge is outlined in the middle of the book and goes exactly as planned at the end. The sequels contain the two of the greatest examples anywhere: Paul and Leto II use their prescience to plan out millennia, without revealing the plan to anyone. Outright subverted in Dune Messiah. The Tleilaxu, Qizarate, Fremen naysayers, Bene Gesserit, and Spacing Guild hatch (a) plan(s) to remove the Atreides from power that seems to revolve around a clone of dead Atreides retainer Duncan Idaho. It turns out that the plan was much more complicated and the clone only played a minor role, but for all the plotting it only ends up making Paul blind and by the end of the book all the conspirators are dead save for a High-Heelâ€“Face Turn. What's strange is that even after the plan fails it still remains largely unspoken, especially strange since each group of the conspiracy had different agendas, meaning that each group, save for the Tleilaxu who put it in motion, was an Unwitting Pawn. Played straight in Children of Dune, as the book covers in excruciating detail the plans of everyone conspiring against the children, but Leto II's plan remains a secret until the very end and completely trumps everyone else's.

However, he was shown to be working with Holmes the time, even slipping him the key to his handcuffs to facilitate his escape. Inversion: Holmes' internal monologue specifically and graphically describes exactly what he's about to do to whatever poor schlub he's fighting and why it'll work, and then does it, and it works. Out-Of-Universe, this is because the enjoyment comes from being able to enjoy the beatdown in slow motion with snarky detailing of the moves and then see it in all its lightning fast brutal glory.

At the end of the book this trope is almost played straight, as Skif has an idea for how to catch a band of child-slavers and doesn't explain it on page... until the plan has started and he's disguised as a Street Urchin, at which point he tells the reader about his begging bowl that serves double duty as a helmet, and how he has backup waiting to track him when he's carried off "unconscious".

For example, the second half of Much Ado About Nothing centers on another false death gambit, also hatched and explained in detail by a friar, but in this case the gambit actually succeeds.

Recurring character Harry The Hat, himself a con man, devises a plan involving most of the Cheers regulars to get Coach's money back. The plan seems to fail miserably because Coach's bumbling reveals the scheme, but later they learn the ruined plot was actually a ruse to cover the real con, known only to Harry and Coach, which was successful.

Outside of a brief setback involving the train falling apart, it goes exactly as planned. The main conflict of the episode is the fact that his attempts to keep it a secret from Marge causes her to believe that he forgot their anniversary, and spends the episode resisting a man named Ben's continuous advances.

The kidnapper announces that his father has 10 seconds to come out as well, or he'll shoot both Castle and Alexis. His father responds, that's not going to happen, because the kidnapper will be dead. The kidnapper looks confused, and then the real bomb, which had actually been planted exactly according to plan, explodes and kills him. His father was actually just waiting for the kidnapper to stand in the right spot. As for Castle, he grabs Alexis the second the real bomb goes off and makes a beeline for the US embassy.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_2c96ae0e	comment	Almost every episode of Hustle features a moment when it looks like the plan has failed, but it turns out that either the real plan was something else all along, or there was some brilliant improvisation that we weren't shown at the time. The best one is where Danny and Mickey go head-to-head to see whose methods work better. While Danny works a series of cons, Mickey tells Ash he's got a mark he's been saving for a rainy day, and begins elaborate preparations including preparing a forged stamp, and arranging a series of meetings. Towards the end Danny figures out Mickey's con, swoops in, buys the stamp from the forger, and attempts to take over, only to discover the supposed mark has no idea what he's talking about, and doesn't even collect stamps. Flashback to Mickey saying to Ash "I do have a mark I've been saving for a rainy day ... Danny." And then it turns out the whole thing was a con by Albert to win money from Ash and Stacie, by betting he could get Danny and Mickey naked in the middle of London. (The terms of the contest were they both started out with nothing). In "Picasso Finger Painting", when the team goes to steal a painting and they begin describing their plan in what looks like a straight set-up of this trope. The plan does end up needing to be aborted, as expected; later in the episode they end up in the exact same situation, with the exact same mark and use the exact same plan with great success.

Notable in that this trope applies in-story as well; after coming up with the plan, Littlepip tells each member of the party their part in the plan and ONLY their part, and then has her own memories removed. The reason is that the Goddess is telepathic, and Littlepip herself will be facing the Goddess directly. Letting your opponent read your mind and figure out your plan would kind of put a damper on it.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Can frequently act as a spoiler in battle in Naruto. If we're hearing the Inner Monologue of someone thinking up a plan it's pretty guaranteed to fail unless they had some failsafe we didn't hear about. On a broader strategic level, the discussed plan to capture Sasori's spy (Kabuto) in Orochimaru's men fails when Kabuto attacks Yamato, who is disguised as Sasori, instead of Orochimaru when he comes to interrupt the meeting, a possibility Yamato had not accounted for at any point in the discussions or his internal monologues. There are frequently heroic examples. If, at any time, someone pulls off a gambit towards his enemy, the perspective shifts towards the enemy himself (showing his thoughts about the situation and assumption about enemies plans) or a bystander. Shikamaru is notorious of this. Having an IQ of 200 he usually outgambits his opponents. The fight between him and Temari, a skilled plotter herself, shows her line of thoughts figuring out his technique and how he plans to catch her with it. (Un)fortunately he is still one step ahead of her. During the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, Shikamaru is facing off against a kunoichi that is able to control a group of monsters through flute-playing, and Shikamaru can't fight three opponents at once. He takes cover behind a tree and then goes over the inventory of the tools he has in his pouch. That's it. Next he's just throwing things at her...in a way precisely calculated to get her into the optimum position for him to use his final tool, a flash bomb that allows him to use his Shadow Controlling Jutsu to take control of her monsters and control them the way she does. During their first battle against Zabuza, Naruto comes up with a successful paln for him and Sasuke to free their teacher Kakashi from Zabuza's water prison, without even speaking a word. He simply tosses a Fuuma Shuriken to Sasuke and expects him to know what to do. It turns out that the the shuriken is actually Naruto himself, who covertly switched places with one of his own Shadow Clones. Despite not remotely being friends and rarely having worked together at this point, Sasuke figured this out because Naruto had transformed into a copy of Sasuke's fuuma shuriken, and he knows that Naruto is terrible at throwing shuriken and thus obviously wouldn't have devoted space in his backpack to carrying one. So Sasuke covertly pulls out his own shuriken and throws them both together. Zabuza catches the real shuriken, notices the second one behind it and jumps to dodge...and then it transforms back into Naruto who throws a kunai from behind. To evade that attack, Zabuza had to remove his hand from the water prison he'd created, allowing Kakashi to escape.

Although the player characters are assumed to plan their scores extensively, the players don't specify anything ahead of time, except the score's objective, the attack point, and their respective maximum loadouts. This way, the latter can retroactively introduce contingencies into the former's "plans" that had never been mentioned before, and thus have much better chances of success than if the players had planned their scores in detail.

Most of Aldonza's attacks can't phase it; while Zapana fares better, she risks the mecha's reactor going nuclear and obliterating the neighborhood. In addition, the mech is coated with magic-nullifying armor that can shut down any attacks from their supernatural allies. The suggestion is eventually made to hit it "with the type of magic that doesn't care one whit for magic negation". How they plan to do this isn't clear at first, since everyone's combat capabilities had already been well-established, leaving both the readers and the story's antagonist to wonder what's going on. Turns out that one more character who had been previously introduced in a throwaway line back in the first chapter was lying in wait for the right moment; when Zapana serves the mecha over to her, she annihilates it in style.

The remaining soldiers sacrifice themselves to distract the Beast Titan, allowing Levi to swoop in and tear him apart. Unfortunately, Erwin forgot to account for the Cart Titan, who rushes in to rescue Zeke as Levi is planning his next move. Played straight during the final arc: After obtaining his future self's memories, Eren never once discussed a single detail of his own hidden agendas to anyone — not Mikasa, not Armin, not Zeke, nor anyone else in the Survey Corps. It all pays off. He gets everything he'll ever need to end the war against Marley and then some. His plan was to increase tension between Paradis and Marley so much that they would have to launch a surprise attack on Paradis, and using the battle to travel to the Paths, to convince Ymir to end the world outside. And to realize that the readers of the story didn't have any clue what his goal was, until it was far too late.

Star By Star is another example of this. Anakin and the other Jedis' plan to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong headquarters is discussed early on and goes horribly, tragically wrong. Justified in that is was a suicide mission from the get go and everything worked to get them to the worldship.

Norman needed the dagger to complete a spell to release the uber demon Asteroth into the world. However, unknown to the audience, Vicki and Henry had first taken the dagger to a priest to have it blessed before they gave it to Norman, so that when he used it, his spell of summoning failed and he was sucked back down to Hell.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_41b0198a	comment	Happens in every damn book in The Dresden Files. Most notably in Turn Coat, when the reader and Molly only find out about Harry's contingency plan after it looks like the main plan has completely failed. Changes and Ghost Story tie the trope completely in knots. To get out of having to be the Winter Knight and have his magic twisted to Queen Mab's use, Harry hires Kincaid to kill him, and then has Molly erase it from his memory so even he doesn't know what the unspoken plan is. Then subverted when this ultimate unspoken plan fails due to Mab pulling his body from the harbor and putting it on magical life support. Then Double Subverted when the Archangel Uriel points out to Harry that even if he is the Winter Knight, Mab cannot control Harry's morality so he has less to be worried about than he thought. In Skin Game, Harry figures out Goodman Grey is on Nicodemus' short list for the team and hires him as his own mole before Nicodemus can. Neither the reader nor Harry's other allies are aware of this prior to The Reveal. Naturally, this ends up being what tips the inevitable conflict with Nicodemus in Harry's favor. This is actually justified in-universe, as Nicodemus' fallen angel Anduriel is capable of spying anywhere a shadow is cast, unless a sufficiently powerful being like Mab is there to block him. Harry knew Anduriel would be watching him like a hawk during the heist, so he couldn't tell his allies anything without tipping Nicodemus off to his plans.

The special starts with, as with every special, a successful heist (this time, taking the money off the hands of some rich men during a horse race), but it turns out to be a flashforward as part of Lupin explaining the plan to Jigen one week before the heist will take place. The "Seven Days" the two of them are waiting for. Then, at the end of the special, a Double Subversion takes place, as Lupin gets to the tracks, but the horse race was cancelled due to weather conditions.

Perhaps best exemplified by the episode "Mommy Dearest", where the heroes are shown discussing both a Plan A and a Plan B. Both are easily foiled by the episode's villain. Dean then kills her with a previously unmentioned but obviously thought out beforehand Plan C. Subverted in "The Rapture". Sam and Dean have to figure out a way to rescue Jimmy Novak's wife and daughter from a group of demons holding them hostage. Dean says he has a plan. We never find out what this plan was, but apparently it didn't work too well, because in the next scene they're captured and Sam is telling Dean "Nice plan."

After Manson reads this section, the reader is then told that six more pages detailed exactly how Shannon planned to recruit, arm, and transport his force and carry out the attack. Which all goes according to plan, except for some hitches during the attack which get a couple of Cat's men killed. Oh, and he left out how he was planning to double-cross Manson and put his own leader in place.

The Rebel Alliance has a nice elaborate plan involving the operation on both the moon of Endor and in space to sabotage the shields around and destroy the second Death Star respectively. Unfortunately the Emperor had anticipated this. He had a massive legion on Endor and a major fleet to defend the Death Star, and the Death Star itself was operational. In the end the Empire loses due to several unplannable things. The Ewoks never planed to intervene, Chewie never planned on stealing an AT-ST, Han never planned to use it to open the bunker, Lando never planned to use desperate tactics for the Rebel fleet to survive the Death Star, and most importantly Vader never planned to betray the Emperor (at least, not in that particular way). Also, Luke never gives any specifics about his plan to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt, but despite Han's worries, succeeds after all.

We then see a Training Montage where Po drills the other pandas not in kung fu but in skills they already possess (hugging, hacky-sack, ribbon dancing), then moving on to weaponizing those skills (hugging logs so hard they splinter, using fireworks instead of hacky-sacks and nunchucks instead of ribbons). Even amid the training, Po's plan is still not revealed; when he announces, "They are ready," Tigress is scratching her head. Finally, when Kai arrives with the jade-zombie army of martial arts masters, Po springs his plan and the other pandas succeed in holding their own against the jombies and distracting Kai enough for Po to get close enough for the Wuxi. Which does not work on Kai because he is no longer mortal. The parts of Po's plan that we don't fully know about in advance work flawlessly. The part he discusses in the beginning (the Wuxi Finger Hold) doesn't.

Rose's plan, which had been discussed at length, goes about as awry as it's possible to go, whereas Jade's plan, which had been arranged mostly off-screen, succeeds better than anyone had hoped (despite some minor complications). However, WQ's plan, the most mysterious of the three by far, is quite firmly dashed by outside circumstances: Rose's plan was to fly Derse's moon and the Tumor to the Green Sun using her dreamself, using the Tumor to destroy it. Instead, both she and Dave died and transferred to their dreamselves. Then DD attacks a defenseless Rose while she's trying to fly away unnoticed. Finally, both she and Dave get the Tumor to the place it's supposed to be, only to discover that the Tumor isn't what destroys the Green Sun, it's what created it in the first place. It's not all bad, though; Rose and Dave got God Tiers out of it, and the Green Sun is now powering two of the heroes as well. Jade's plan was to escape through the fourth wall at the last moment, to ensure that the Scratch goes off without a hitch. Not only does this succeed, but she ascends to God Tier due to an unforeseen attack and manages to take their planets through the Fourth Wall too. WQ's plan was to use the transportalizer in WV's station to escape to the troll's session, then blow up the stations once they arrived so that nobody could follow their trail. It would have worked, if only Jack hadn't been hiding in the frog temple the entire time, and was released a mere ten seconds after the White King arrived... Subverted by GAME_OVER, in which several unspoken plans collide to ruin everything. For example, Jane, Dave, PM and Jack all want to resurrect Jade, but they can't co-operate resulting in PM and Jack killing Dave and Jane Killed by Aranea.

Justified as they had been plotting it together for a long time and waited for the best opportunity, which arrived after the Draketooth Pyramid exploded. Lampshaded again later on, when Team Tarquin specifically avoids talking about their plans onscreen. The plan mostly works and only fails at the end due to Tarquin's Wrong Genre Savvy. Deliberately invoked by Elan not telling anyone except Durkon, so he could send the message, that Elan had called on Julio for help before the party ever entered the pyramid.

In particular, the Phantom Thieves discussing the plan is fast-forwarded and blurred, along with all dialogue being muted, so the audience can't hear what the Thieves are talking about. This is because Joker was heavily drugged by the corrupt police force, and legitimately did not remember that there was a plan until the last minute. Still, the plan goes off without a hitch, exposing the identity of the traitor as Goro Akechi, letting the Phantom Thieves get some clue as to who's heading The Conspiracy, and getting Joker safely out of police custody, all at once.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_5d354f8	comment	Red Dwarf: In "White Hole", Lister is trying to knock a planet into the white hole, using the principles he's picked up playing pool. It misses. After every planet in the system has been knocked against each other and one of them has sunk, he explains he was going for a trick shot. This is what anyone who gets lucky in pool will tell his friends even if it's blatantly obvious that it isn't. A subversion of the trope occurs in "Legion". With the crew being held captive by the titular character, Lister comes up with a "truly award-winning escape plan" from the movie Revenge of the Surfboarding Killer Bikini Vampire Girls, but doesn't go into details on screen. When Legion shows up, he immediately sees right through the plan (involving Lister hiding behind the door ready to hit him with a heavy piece of artwork, while an obvious decoy of him made from other artwork sits in his place), namedrops the movie where it came from, allows it to happen and watches as it fails miserably. As Legion was comprised of the collective consciousness of Lister, Rimmer, Cat and Kryten he had obvious knowledge of the plan beforehand, even though it was so dumb as to fail anyway.

Most of the time it's due to scene cuts or chapter breaks, but there's at least one instance where it happens in-universe as well. Faced with an enemy with some degree of mind-reading powers, Tavi uses a fiendishly complex series of nested written orders, including multiple orders for each contingency imaginable. If people don't know the plan they're following, the mind-reader can't find it out. Tavi muses later that the best part of the plan is he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_6744d821	comment	Towards the end of the season season of The Owl House, Eda, Lilith, Raine, their fellow Bards, Steve, Darius, and Eberwolf come up with a plan to stop the Emperor's Draining Spell, which involves Eda getting a Bard Coven Sigil and disguising herself as Raine, taking their place among the other Coven Heads. Eda's curse would then hopefully interfere with the spell and prevent it from killing everyone. Since this plan is explained in detail onscreen, it fails easily; Belos somehow knew about their plan and arranged for the Coven Heads to stand in a different position to make it easier for Eda to be exposed, as well as have some of his scouts capture the others. Meanwhile, Luz, King, Willow, Gus, and Hunter have gone to rescue Amity, only to be cornered by Odalia and Kikimora, who gloats that the Emperor knows about the plan, and about how she's going to enjoy taking Hunter back to him. Luz then tells Gus she has a plan but we don't find out what it is until after it's happened; Gus disguises Luz and Hunter as each other so that Luz can get Captured on Purpose, allowing her to reach Eda and the others while protecting Hunter, who isn't even aware of the plan until after Luz is taken.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_6f6971b5	comment	In James White's early Sector General novels, Dr. Conway did this frequently at the end of a story, when he'd finally correctly diagnosed what was wrong with his latest patient-from-an-unknown species. Somewhat Justified Trope in that the situation was by its nature time-critical by that point. Hospital Station, "The Trouble with Emily": In this case, Dr. Conway figures out what Dr. Arratepec is trying to achieve with the titular character but will not reveal the information to the Chief Psychologist (and thus to the reader). Justified Trope in that he does not reveal his deduction to the rest of his colleagues because he may have reached his conclusion on the basis of privileged information, since the telepathic Arratepec had touched his mind. He also does not reveal his conclusions to Arratepec, whose people have been keeping quiet about the purpose of the Emily experiment for fear of public ridicule if it doesn't work out. Star Surgeon, "Resident Physician": When Conway deduces what is wrong with Lonvellin, who is suspected of murdering and eating his personal physician after an argument over the latter's treatment, Conway doesn't explain to his colleagues why he has called for a wooden stake and is very slowly pushing it against the patient's skin. The personal physician was actually a symbiotic organism who was isolated and removed from Lonvellin while trying to defend its "employer" from the stake by concentrating itself into a hard bony plate. Sector General's staff resolved the quarrel between the patient and the symbiote by giving the latter more information on the physiology of the former.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_70814599	comment	You could set your watch by this in Stargate SG-1. As Jack O'Neill puts it once, "It's time for Plan B." In "Exodus", SG-1 and the Tok'ra famously plan to incinerate Apophis's fleet by blowing up a sun. They're caught flat-footed by a cloaked Goa'uld bomber that disables their ship, Jack and Teal'c get shot down going after it, and Teal'c is captured. Then the supernova does something funky to the hyperdrives aboard their ship and Apophis's flagship and they all get shot into another galaxy. In "Fallen", SG-1 plans to pull an Airstrike Impossible in an F-302 to disable the Wave-Motion Gun aboard Anubis's flagship so their frenemy Lord Yu can mob it and destroy it. The first part works perfectly, but Yu is going senile and sends the fleet to completely the wrong star system. Played with in "It's Good to Be the King". Maybourne translates a prophecy (really, a historical record written by a time-travelling Ancient) that says heroes will arrive and destroy invaders. SG-1 instead plans to evacuate the planet's inhabitants and destroy the Ancient's Puddle Jumper so the Goa'uld won't get it, but the Goa'uld arrive early and trap them on-planet. They're forced to fulfill the prophecy with the Puddle Jumper to get out of the mess. The Ori actually pull one of these on the good guys in "Beachhead". Because the Ori Prior refuses to tell them the plan, they end up playing right into the Ori's hands. In "Prototype", Carter rigs the DHD on Khalek's planet to send him straight back to Earth if he attempts to go back there, but doesn't get the chance to tell anybody about it before all hell breaks loose. She later says that if she had mentioned it, the plan probably wouldn't have worked as Khalek, with his super hearing, would have overheard.

What's strange is that even after the plan fails it still remains largely unspoken, especially strange since each group of the conspiracy had different agendas, meaning that each group, save for the Tleilaxu who put it in motion, was an Unwitting Pawn.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_73d7930f	comment	Used in the seventh-season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Badda-bing Badda-bang", in which the plan is detailed to the audience throughout the fourth act, not only with explanations but being acted out on-screen; this is only so that the audience knows what's supposed to be going on in the fifth act, when everything goes wrong. The plot of the season 6 episode "In the Pale Moonlight" rests on this trope. The episode unfolds as Sisko tells the "computer" (i.e., the audience) what happened when he tried to engage in underhand and quite illegal methods to bring the Romulans into the war on the Federation's side. As it unfolds it seems like a Zany Scheme gone horribly wrong that brought the Romulans into the war on the Dominion's side. Actually, it turns out Garak pulled this trope on Sisko (who then pulls it on the audience) by hiding his real plan from Sisko from the outset. What Sisko thought of as their plan going horribly wrong actually goes (from Sisko's point-of-view) horribly right. Justified in that Garak knew all along just what it would take to bring the Romulans into the war on the Federation's side and he also knew Sisko would never have had the stomach to go through with it had he known from the start what it would take. When Sisko realises the truth, he also ends up accepting Garak was right all along... and is deeply troubled by the fact he can accept it.

In the early books, Croaker is often in the dark about the Captain's, Lieutenant's and Darling's plans, meaning the reader is too, and they very rarely go wrong. In later books when Croaker is Captain, there is a change of viewpoint character to avoid his plans being exposed. The plan leading up to the battle of Charandaprash is kept in the dark for several years in the book, and kept secret from the readers for about 2 books of build up. Needless to say, it succeeds.

The candidates for the unit are told the sim is a fairly typical strike mission scenario, but then they're mobbed by TIEs the second they leave the hangar. The real objective of the sim is to survive and escape. Explicitly justified in the last novel Mercy Kill: The characters admit that their officer, "Face" Loran, tells each "Wraith" only the information he or she strictly needs, for security reasons — and maybe because Loran enjoys monitoring the utterly confused Wraiths.

The plan finally goes off exactly as planned in the seventh episode, though it leads to something they had never expected. Series creator Peter Gould even mentioned having this trope and the Back to the Future example above in mind when developing the season's arc. Mike Ehrmantraut usually works alone, and as such, has no-one to lay out his schemes to. We do get to see his preparations, often rather bizarre and with heavy use of Noodle Implements, and then - the plan itself unfolding perfectly.

Not all of them, but exceptions are the exception rather than the rule. After all, it's considerably more fun to play through something you've heard about than to just watch it. There is a straight example of this trope, though, in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. In the final mission against Pirate Captain LaFwee, Bentley's plan appears to fail due to LaFwee's counter-planning, but it turns out to be much more elaborate than the plan described to the player.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_8f4ee60f	comment	Zigzagged in all three Back to the Future movies. In the climax of all three films, Doc creates an elaborate plan to get Marty and himself out of whatever time travel trouble they find themselves in, which the audience is told in great detail by Doc. All three times, something goes wrong, but the plan ultimately works out. In the first film, Doc's plan to use the clock tower's lightning bolt is almost undone when the cable is broken apart by a tree branch falling on it, as well as the engine to the time machine dying. Marty manages to get the car restarted, and 1955 Doc just barely gets the cables reconnected just as the lightning bolt strikes. Turns out 1955 Doc's timing was off, anyways. The second film plays with this more. The plan boils down to "don't interfere in 1955 events until we can avoid a Time Paradox," and that plan works as stated. It just takes a lot longer with a lot more close calls than Marty and Doc would have liked. The final film spells out the plan to use a train to push the time machine up to 88 miles per hour, which almost fails when Clara nearly becomes a Spanner in the Works after coming back to give Doc an Anguished Declaration of Love. Doc saves her from falling off the train, but misses out on climbing into the time machine, meaning Marty goes back to 1985 alone. Marty's plan to use an iron stove door to survive being shot by Mad Dog Tannen, on the other hand, is not revealed to the viewers ahead of time, and works perfectly. Subversion as the plan was foreshadowed, but in Part II, rather than Part III. Right as Marty confronts Biff about the Sports Almanac, Biff is seen watching A Fistful of Dollars, specifically the scene where Clint Eastwood's character does the same exact name. In Part III, Marty identifies himself as "Clint Eastwood" early on, and before Marty pulls the stunt, he's reminded of this when one of the saloon patrons asks if he's really going to let people say Clint Eastwood was the biggest coward in the West.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_9068877a	comment	Subverted in Red vs. Blue by Caboose's plan while he and Sarge are stuck in Battle Creek. It happens for real several times later on, though most of it's really spoilery. In the climax of Revelation, a heavily injured Washington hands Sarge something and tells him he'll know what to do. He then proceeds to charge the Meta and get put in a Neck Lift, before signaling Grif to do something ("Shotgun, damnit!"). It's not until Sarge puts the final steps into action and gets a Pre-Mortem One-Liner in that we find out what the plan is: Sarge attached the wrecked Warthog's tow cable to the Meta, while Grif and Simmons pushed said vehicle off a cliff, thus sending the Meta to his Disney Villain Death. In The Chorus Trilogy, two of these happen in rapid succession in the crew's assault on the Space Pirates. First, the pirates didn't count on Freckles being there and part of a trap. Second, Tucker's fight with Felix was actually just so he could pull an Engineered Public Confession using Felix's Evil Gloating. The Chorus Trilogy's finale includes a Kansas City Shuffle version of this. The Chorusians aren't attacking the Communications Temple and the Purge Temple. They're attacking the Communications Temple and the tractor beam, and using it to pull the Tartarus down onto the Purge Temple, while Carolina and Wash distract Felix and Locus. Even later, Grif's incompetent infiltration of the Blues and Reds' lair was actually a diversion for Locus's own infiltration.

They failed. Shego yawned and rolled her eyes as the guys schemed away, not revealing her own plans (until she finally succumbed to Evil Gloating), and sure enough she became The Supreme One. In So the Drama, Drakken's most successful plan to Take Over the World was the one where he didn't even tell Shego what he was planning until Kim was safely captured. When Shego presses him for an explanation, he reveals that he kept her in the dark to test whether the plan was clever enough — if Shego didn't figure it out, neither would Kim.

They sat around discussing how to do it, while David was actually hidden nearby, listening. When they enact the plan, it seems to fail... but then they reveal that they knew he'd be listening, and while they discussed the "plan", they were passing notes around, which detailed the real plan. That said, it's fairly obvious to an attentive reader that the spoken-aloud plan is fake, as they refer to Tobias as dead when discussing it. He's not, but David believes that he is. But the real plan is only revealed to the reader while it's in progress either way.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_93489ff	comment	Dungeon Crawler Carl: A rare In-Universe example - because Carl is literally on (intergalactic) television all the time (except in the bathrooms), anything he says out loud is seen by the showrunners or sometimes other participants. In Book 4 The Gate of the Feral Gods, the Royal Court loudly announce that they intend to use the titular artifact to drop a stray god on their enemies, and their various adversaries go on a multi-layered round of Xanatos Speed Chess to stop them. Which of course puts those adversaries right where the real plan needs them to be - the City that the Royal Court is actually using the Gate to flood. In Book 5 The Butcher's Masquerade, Carl twice attempts to blow up Zockau. He doesn't tell anyone about his first plan (including his teammate along for the ride), and it (mostly) succeeds, but he brags about planning to do it again, and is foiled before he can act.

Then the plan goes awry after its completion because they're attacked by the Private Military Contractors whose job it originally was, who kill the general who had given them the off-the-books orders (actually, he was working with them and faked his death) and make off with the plates.

Doubly Subverted in The Movie, along with most other Scooby-Doo cliches, by having the spoken plan... actually work after it almost fails. Similarly, in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Fred's traps may or may not work, in the intended way or otherwise, and may fail even if he hadn't explained exactly how they would work. Another double subversion in an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, where Fred's trap on the vampire monster worked within the first few minutes of the episode. Daphne and Velma are surprised by this, but it turns out the case wasn't over because while he was kept in captivity, his twin kept the mystery going by being the vampire in his place. Done on every episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. If you listen closely, you can hear what Velma's saying: "So here's what we're gonna do, okay?..."

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_a6543322	comment	An interesting twist is presented in the fifteenth installment of the Touhou Project series, Touhou Kanjuden ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. The fourth boss, Sagume Kishin, is a Lunarian Goddess with the ability of reversing a situation with her words. This means whatever she'll say or any plan she'll speak of will have fate invariably twist itself over its head and turn what she's said into a lie every time, so she has to carefully choose her words should she not want an undesired result from her ability. This effectively makes her a Consummate Liar, but not by vice, just because her words eventually end up becoming lies with time. After a Moon invasion caused by Junko, Hecatia Lapislazuli and their army of fairies supercharged with life force which turned them into the embodiment of impurity (a concept Lunarians flee from like flies from lavender) had the Lunarians relocate themselves elsewhere (first in the Dream World, which ended up not working as planned due to being cornered by Hecatia anyways), their sights were set on the Earth and they decided to invade and purify it in order to make it an actual safe location for them to live. However, this was just a plan B for Sagume, because as soon as she encounters the heroine in the Lunar Capital and tests her skills, she realizes there's no use trying to purify the Earth anymore and wholeheartedly spills all the beans to the heroine, activating her ability and effectively putting the kibosh on her plan B coming to fruition. She essentially took a Batman Gambit as she betted on the reason for her plan to fail being the heroine defeating Junko and Hecatia, thus freeing the Moon from its rampant impurity. It can thus be concluded Sagume is the reason why you win the game in the first place.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_a8150af4	comment	The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Hearing the Numenorian army approaching, Adar, calls Waldreg and tells him he has a task for him and tries to handle him the sword hilt, but the scene is cut to the Numenorians attacking the Orcs, making it very ambiguous if Adar managed to give Waldreg the hilt or not. Later scene shows Adar having the hilt with him, wrapped in garbs and trying to escape with it. But, everything is just a Batman Gambit, because later in the same episode, Waldreg is shown having the hilt with him, executing Adar's original plan of provoking Orodruin's eruption with it. Adar pretty much gambled on Waldreg's unflinching nostalgia for the times his ancestors were allied with the Orcs.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_abd11c3f	comment	More Than Enemies: Subverted with Sakuraâ€™s nearly suicidal bet to kill Orochimaruâ€™s gigantic summon. Her improved chakra-sensing and her fine chakra-control are enough for her to learn chakra-coating from Ahika while both of them are within the snakeâ€™s gastric tract. She then activates an overpowered explosive tag and, miraculously, the snake is torn from the inside and both her and the other shinobi are alive if in severe need of medical aid. Played straight with Kakashiâ€™s idea to bring down RÃo. The narration spends some time with him pondering just how to defeat a mind-reader and Jiraiyaâ€™s failed and awkward bonding attempt with him revolves around creating a seal to cancel out her abilities. When the time comes, it seems to have worked but her resourcefulness and his reluctance to deal the killing blow prompt his plan to fail. Zigzagged with both of RÃo's crazy plans during the Konoha Crush. The plans do succeed as the unease ROOT-ANBU joint team manages to break the Fuinjutsu barriers caging the former Hokage, Orochimaru, the Sandaime, Danzo, and the Clan Heads, but they derail at some point or another. The first plan goes without a hitch (throw the Hokage Tower to the barrier and exploit the glitch to saturate with chakra the inner layers, then use a ROOT agentâ€™s Kekkei Genkai to support the remaining structures), but the Kekkei Genkai refuse to care about collateral damage. It involved letting the agent be possessed by a psychopath, long-dead Nara whose only goal was to set a score with one of the people inside the barriers. When the Nara gets his fight, his attacksâ€™ splash damage affects Oto, Suna, and Konoha nin indistinctly. Regarding the second plan, RÃo fakes her death so she can wet the seal tags with a time-consuming and precise Water jutsu. Only one remains when the Clan Heads inside the barrier realize sheâ€™s very much alive and stare at her, thus alerting a Suna nin of her ploy. Kakashi warns her in time for her to dodge, but they now need to rely on a third teammate to destroy the last tag.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_ac259af8	comment	Saki managed to subvert this while maintaining the suspense: At times, multiple characters' secret plans would be revealed to the audience, but the plans would directly conflict each other, some being plans to out-gambit an opponent. (For example, Koromo trying to use her luck manipulation abilities to win with haitei raoyue, while the others catch on and try to call tiles to affect the turn order in a way that would make it impossible for Koromo to do so.) So several fully-described plans (such as Hisa's bad-wait strategy) would work perfectly, as the suspense came not from whether or not a single plan would work, but rather from the question of which gambit in the Gambit Pileup was going to win out.

While at first it seems Esidisi outsmarted the spoken plan, it ends up working anyway.

Afterwards comes actually removing the shell from the Urkin Queen, which was described in great detail, so naturally the Duskbringer gets stuck in the Urkin Queen's shell. Fortunately, Seofon's sword duplication saves the day.

Since the series is a massive Author Tract, those prophecies then all come true without a single Prophecy Twist, making the story far more boring than a story of The End of the World as We Know It has any right to be. In a later book, The Antichrist tries to take those Bible prophecies and using it where to predict where and when Jesus will arrive so he can have his army ready to fight him. For some reason, the fact that those prophecies broadly end with "and then Jesus totally kickes their asses" does not discourage him.

We do see her telling the Doctor, but since she's stuck on the other side of some soundproofed glass at the time we see her communicate the plan through mime. It's just difficult enough to understand that when we see the Doctor and Jo perform parts of it, it feels less like a spoiler and more like, "oh, that's what that hand gesture meant". In "The Three Doctors", the Doctors discuss their plan in front of everybody... with a psychic link. Of course it works perfectly. In "Frontier in Space", when the Doctor explains to Jo how they will escape from their cell, all he says is: "So this is what we're going to do..." Cut to execution of the plan. In "Remembrance of the Daleks", when the Doctor's allies ask what his plan to stop the Daleks is, he tells them "It's a surprise." It works perfectly, of course. In "The Sound of Drums", the Doctor has a plan to expose the Master, which he explains onscreen. Naturally, it fails. In the next episode, "Last of the Time Lords", the Doctor has another plan that works, because it's not revealed until the climax. In "The Girl Who Died", the only thing mentioned beforehand about the Doctor's plan to get the Mire to flee is that it involves the village's electric eels. It goes off flawlessly. In "Face the Raven", Clara explains to Rigsy her plan for buying them more time to solve the mystery on the trap street. It goes wrong. It goes horrifyingly, tragically, wrong, and Clara winds up Killed Off for Real. Justified in "Oxygen", as the Doctor refuses to reveal his plan because he might be overheard (which happened earlier). "I try never to tell the enemy my secret plan." As per this trope, it works perfectly. Lampshaded in "The Eaters of Light", wherein Bill points out the Doctor never tells her his whole plan. The Doctor appears genuinely surprised by this. "I probably just get interrupted." In "World Enough and Time", just like Clara did in "Face the Raven" by explaining her plan to take on the chronolock to Rigsy, the Doctor fully explains his plan to test Missy to his companions... and thus it winds up completely failing. "Spyfall": Stuck in 1943, the Doctor comes up with a plan to return to the 21st century by getting the Master out of the way so she can steal his TARDIS. This plan is not explained until after it's kicked off, so it goes perfectly. In "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror", the plan to destroy the Skithra ship is explained in advance, so naturally it hits a snag when it turns out that the Queen has actually come down from the ship. The Doctor's response is not explained ahead of time, and works. In "Ascension of the Cybermen", the companions take the time to explain what each of the Doctor's devices is supposed to do and how it will stop the Cybermen. Therefore all of the devices are destroyed by the Cyberdrones without even having a chance to do anything.

Almost every time this trope is employed the flow is broken where the character would not only completely explain his plan in a drawn out monologue, but often visualize what could have happened. This even occasionally goes for face-up cards, when their abilities go unmentioned until the point where they become relevant, even though in the real card game it's important to know all the abilities of your opponent's cards. In general, if a character starts internally monologuing about how they're going to win next turn, expect that they won't get a next turn.

Shirou assumes it's because it's some sort of plan that won't work as well if he knows about it. While this may be true, the real reason is obviously so that Tohsaka can surprise us with her hand to hand combat skills and utterly floor Caster. The plan actually works because Caster didn't know Magi had picked up martial arts skills, but it's not enough to win. It was only enough to distract her until Archer showed up. This is justified in Fate/Grand Order. Doctor Roman's plan to defeat Goetia wouldn't have worked if the rest of Chaldea knew about it, because he needed to be able to get close to Goetia in order to activate Ars Nova (it requires all ten rings to be gathered together in order to activate, though not necessarily in possession of the same people). If the rest of Chaldea knew about Roman's true identity as well as Ars Nova, then Goetia would have learned about it as well and could have easily adapted his plans to keep Roman out of the picture.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_d5166b44	comment	Happens in Halo 3 when Cortana sends a vague message to the UNSC telling them of a solution for the Flood at the Ark. As it turns out, the Ark contains a foundry at its core that can build Halo rings, with it having already almost finished building a replacement for Installation 04; John-117 activates it to eradicate the galaxy-threatening Flood as well as their Gravemind. Justified since the knowledge could have fallen into the hands of the Gravemind had anyone known the details due to the Flood's ability to assimilate the knowledge of its victims, which would have led it to not send all its Flood forces to the Ark in an effort to avoid being killed by the activation of the other Halo rings. In fact, Cortana herself wasn't quite sure what was at the Ark, making this less of a plan and more everyone hanging onto something Cortana had vague knowledge of that they didn't even know existed. It also helps that each Forerunner installation's Monitor had important details of other installations removed from its mind as a precaution; otherwise the Flood would have had enough information to guess the plan.

Played painfully straight in the final game; Kaiji explains his grand scheme to overthrow the chairman in meticulous detail four episodes before the end of the series. No prizes for guessing that it blows up in his face. Used in both arcs of the second season, too. Kaiji's initial plan is explained in great detail, but inevitably fails. Kaiji figures out the trick to winning, but we only see hints of what he's thinking and have to wait until the plan unfolds to learn about his successful plans. Especially satisfying against The Bog, where there are 3-4 steps to the plan that are revealed as each one comes into play.

Kenny tells the other boys his plan to get rid of the succubus in detail on screen, but it's Kenny, so the audience doesn't understand a word he says. And the classic episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die", where Cartman is constantly trying to get revenge on the episode's namesake. He tells Stan and Kyle (and thus the audience) a fairly ridiculous plan to get a pony to bite Scott's penis off; this plan already seems likely to fail. Furthermore, Stan and Kyle warn Scott of this plan just to spite Cartman. It turns out Cartman was expecting Stan and Kyle to undermine him, and this was actually part of a larger, unspoken plan by Cartman that does work spectacularly. When the boys need to retrieve an important list from the girls, Cartman' first plan is thoroughly laid out: "ambush the girl with the list in the passway and kick her in the balls", but it fails. Of the second plan we only hear the first part ("Kenny spits on the floor"), and the plan succeeds off-screen.

The scene cuts away before Lee Chen reveals his plan to end the war between Thunder Mountain and the Valhalla Sector to Kurdy and Meghan. But Kurdy's horrified expression as he leaves the room? and part 1 ending with Lee Chen telling the Valhalla Sector that Meghan (who is really a carrier) is immune to the Big Death and that they will trade her for Markus and the other prisoners, make it obvious what the plan is even though no one says it out loud until near the end of the next episode. Half of the plan, exposing the Valhalla Sector to the Big Death through Meghan works flawlessly, but getting all of the prisoners out beforehand fails after the Valhalla Sector decide to keep Jeremiah and Devon as hostages as the part 1 cliffhanger. The last minute plan on how to keep them safe from the virus is also discussed offscreen, has very few clues to its workings, and goes off perfectly. "The Face in the Mirror" has an unspoken plan with a short-term payoff (the plan is revealed after less than a minute) when Kurdy is talking to some nearby allies over the radio during a car chase and says he has a plan to escape. The scene then briefly cuts to their pursuer before he witnesses Kurdy's plan (to make him unsure which truck his antagonist is in after they rendezvous) work.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Season 3 finale demonstrates this perfectly. Two enemies make plans; one of the plans is fully detailed to the audience, while the other one is kept vague. The vague one is the one that succeeds. The planning processes are superimposed over one another. Buffy will be just about to go into the details of her plan, and it then switches to Wilkins giving instructions to his vampires, then back to Buffy making vague allusions, and so on. And in Season 5, where they talked in vague terms about what they might have in the way of weapons, but never go into detail about all the parts of their plan. Meanwhile, the Big Bad has been getting pretty specific. And so... In Season 7 we have a literal unspoken plan, made via telepathy. And in the final episode you always know what the Big Bad is going to try to do, but it's not until almost the very end, when the action is well under way, that you find out Buffy is having Willow use the scythe to activate all the potential Slayers into full ones.

The Ancient defense satellite takes out one hive ship and burns out, the nuclear mines the SGC hoped to use to defend the planet are knocked out by Colony Drop, the Daedalus only manages to take out a few hives before they devise a defense... "The Return" uses this trope masterfully. The audience is misinformed about the protagonists' plan of liberating Atlantis. When all seems lost and the plan (as the audience knows it at that time) has been countered, their true plan immediately works out and only then is explained. Specifically, Rodney tells O'Neill and Woolsey that they plan on blowing up the city's shield generators with C4 strapped to the control crystals then escaping the city, but gets a Dope Slap from Sheppard for leaking the plan. When the Asurans extract the plan from their minds and counter the sabotage, turns out the actual plan was rigging the shield generators with an Anti-Replicator Gun crystal, which the Asurans failed to notice due to being distracted by the C4. Sheppard expected that the captives will be interrogated, hence he had Rodney "leak" the fake plan on purpose as a distraction.

Charles's and Ellie's plans are shown to the player as they're explained, and both result in failure. Meanwhile, the player hears nothing of Henry's plan while he's explaining it, and it ends up succeeding. The plans in question are as follows: Charles: Charles would've ramed his helicopter into the cafeteria window. Ellie gets confused as to how this would work, much less help. By the time they decide to go through with the plan, the rocket is too far away for Charles to actually do it. Ellie: She and Henry sabotage the engine and then bail out of the rocket through the forward left vent. While the sabotage is successful, Charles ends up going to the wrong vent and fails to save Henry and Ellie. Henry: He and Ellie make their way up to the cockpit where Ellie deals with Sven while Henry changes the rocket's course. They then bail out of the rocket and Charles catches them.

Neither the reader nor Harry's other allies are aware of this prior to The Reveal. Naturally, this ends up being what tips the inevitable conflict with Nicodemus in Harry's favor. This is actually justified in-universe, as Nicodemus' fallen angel Anduriel is capable of spying anywhere a shadow is cast, unless a sufficiently powerful being like Mab is there to block him. Harry knew Anduriel would be watching him like a hawk during the heist, so he couldn't tell his allies anything without tipping Nicodemus off to his plans.

Often his assistant or even Phoenix himself will mention that they've finally figured out the case, give some vague clue as to what conclusion they've reached, yet it's still up to the player to figure it out. Largely justified, since combining evidence to solve cases is the entirety of the gameplay, so having the whole thing spelled out for you at the last minute would kind of defeat the purpose.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_e6267766	comment	In the Star Wars Legends universe: Timothy Zahn's novel Outbound Flight features an interesting use of this trope. Protagonist Car'das, a guest/captive of Thrawn, escapes and sets into motion an unspoken plan that enlists the aid of the Planet Looter villains. It appears to go pear-shaped, until we learn that Car'das' plan was actually part of Thrawn's plan, which we didn't even know existed. It would have worked out perfectly except for Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth's final descent into megalomania; instead, some Vagaari escaped, and fifty thousand innocent people died. Thrawn is unhappy about this. New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory: Conquest averts this as Anakin's unspoken plan to escape Yavin 4 with Master Ikirt (size of a small dog) in his X-wing fails when other Jedi apprentices stay behind to rescue him. Star By Star is another example of this. Anakin and the other Jedis' plan to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong headquarters is discussed early on and goes horribly, tragically wrong. Justified in that is was a suicide mission from the get go and everything worked to get them to the worldship. The "Wraith Squadron" novels within the X-Wing Series frequently feature this trope. Notably done in a training sim in Wraith Squadron. The candidates for the unit are told the sim is a fairly typical strike mission scenario, but then they're mobbed by TIEs the second they leave the hangar. The real objective of the sim is to survive and escape. Explicitly justified in the last novel Mercy Kill: The characters admit that their officer, "Face" Loran, tells each "Wraith" only the information he or she strictly needs, for security reasons — and maybe because Loran enjoys monitoring the utterly confused Wraiths.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_e67a7d6c	comment	Negima! Magister Negi Magi pulls this off perfectly, during the festival arc. Chao's plan to reveal magic to the world is not explained until after Negi and company are forced a week into the future, where it has already succeeded. Upon learning HOW the plan goes, they proceed to go back in time using Cassiopiea. This plan almost fails because it is explained, mostly, before hand, however several parts of the plan are left vague until the end... all of which succeed perfectly. Upon returning to the 3rd day of the festival, Negi and Company attempt to avert the plan. They technically FAIL, which is either a subversion because they knew the plan, or upholding the trope because it wasn't Chao who explained it to them, but Negi defeats Chao in combat, so she changes her wish. In Chapters 240-248, this trope is played straight, subverted, and toyed with. Negi goes into the match with some crazy plan to defeat Rakan that only he knows. Negi reveals one new ability after another, but it's never enough to defeat Rakan. Finally, Negi tricks Rakan into using one of his insanely powerful magical blasts on Negi. It's then revealed that the match was planned as a set-up by Negi: during an earlier lightning-fast attack which seemed too weak to defeat Rakan, he had also set up a magic circle that allowed him to absorb Rakan's attack. Negi then uses Rakan's own insane attack against him. This still isn't enough to defeat Rakan, but both of them are exhausted, breaking it down into a mere fistfight that ends in a draw. Played straight in the most over the top way possible later on. There's a chapter dedicated to explaining exactly how the plan is supposed to proceed, complete with diagrams explaining every little detail. The following chapter sees the plan ruined by a series of Wham Episodes. Good thing that most of the exposition was still relevant anyway. Also played straight in that Negi has a plan to save the Magical World from its seemingly inevitable destruction which he has apparently explained to no one, even the people he should be convincing he can do it.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_e7e37776	comment	Averted somewhat in Firefly, like in "Ariel". The whole plan was described in minute detail, complete with scenes of the characters rehearsing their parts, and except for the temporary arrest, both the heist and River's diagnosis are completed as planned. Same with "The Train Job", except for the Captain and Zoe getting trapped. And the opening scene of the Big Damn Movie, except for the Reavers. However, "Trash" and "Objects in Space" are perfect examples of unspoken plans going perfectly (almost). Also, this line from the movie sums it up: The aversion in "Ariel" is very much the exception that proves the rule. The plan was described in minute detail and worked (almost) exactly as planned, with all possible external threats perfectly anticipated. The suspense came from internal threats (like Jayne betraying the Tams), and suspense aside, it was funny or at least fun to see how the ragtag crew of "Serenity" handled a plan organized to the last detail. One component of the plan that they stressed as necessary — memorizing some medical jargon — turned out to be totally unnecessary, but Jayne delivered his line anyway because he'd finally memorized it, dammit. And it's worth noting that it was Simon who planned the heist in Ariel, rather than Mal, who is usually the one making the plans. "Trash" double-subverts the trope: the detailed plan for removal of the Laser goes off almost without a hitch (and is ultimately successful) and the unspoken backup plan in case of treachery is pulled off successfully. In "The Message", the regular crew have an unspoken plan to pretend to surrender and spring an ambush which would have worked flawlessly, except they didn't tell the guest star who thought they really were going to give him up to the cops and takes a hostage. It doesn't end well for him. The Fridge Logic gets pointed out by the cast in the DVD commentary (i.e. "Why didn't we just tell him the plan?" note The answer: because he was eavesdropping, and reacted before they could tell him.)

One part of the plan goes better than expected (the heat sensors the guards were supposed to use didn't work)... and the plan still fails because Deling was swapped with a body double ahead of time. Then came the planned assassination of Edea, explained once again in great detail, which (despite almost failing for umpteen other reasons) almost makes it through, only to fail at the last minute because Edea blocks the bullet Irvine fires, and in the direct attack, she defeats Squall. But then, later in the game, a much more convoluted plan averts the trope (Odine's plan to have Ellone trick Ultimecia into a partial time compression actually works and helps the heroes reach and defeat Ultimecia.)

They actually fail, but not by much, and something very different goes wrong when they try it for real. On the other hand, the second-season Voyager episode "Resolutions" averts this trope. Tuvok goes into painstaking, on-screen detail about his plan to beat the Vidiians and get the medicine Voyager needs. It then goes off without the slightest hitch. The episode "Basics, Part I" has the staff discussing a battle plan against the Kazon, which actually works for a while — until a Kazon suicide bomber screws everything up. The season 6 cliffhanger "Unimatrix Zero" involves an unspoken plan which several characters think is nuts, and indeed, it seems to go spectacularly wrong. But then Chakotay says "So far, so good", letting us know the plan isn't actually over yet. We get to see the rest in part two.

Dream plans where and what he will do in a specific situation for one of his videos. Then he tells no one until he actually executes his plan. Meanwhile the Hunters are multiple different human beings, and must coordinate plans between them in real time. This often leads them to speak their plan and thus ruin it by tipping Dream off, or spend time communicating it privately which is slower and buys Dream time. The trope is displayed in the different strategies in the first and last 3 Hunters videos: in the former, Bad tells nobody about his trap and Dream lets his guard down and falls for it; while in the latter, the Hunters brag about how they're setting up an unbeatable trap, and Dream — knowing that there's a trap — figures out a way to beat it.

In fact, his plan (a Genghis Gambit to get the other governments to unite in the face of a completely fictitious enemy) absolutely hinges on him not telling anyone what it is! Londo Mollari demonstrates great mastery of this trope, when he devises a plan to lure his nemesis G'Kar into a trap and lays it out to his aid Vir. Londo's rival Lord Refa captures Vir, wrings the plan's details out of him and hijacks the plan to capture G'Kar himself and humiliate Londo. Turns out Londo anticipated this move and his true plan was to lure Refa into a trap by collaborating with G'Kar. This part he kept between himself and G'Kar, and it worked.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_f7d93e4a	comment	Subverted in the Assassin's Creed franchise; the main characters often undergo a series of investigations including eavesdropping, pick pocketing important items, and interrogating people close to the target. Then they announce a plan they've used those details to come up with in broad strokes, allowing the player to determine the actual plan of attack. Although some targets spring surprises that simply can't be avoided and force the character into an Indy Ploy. Brotherhood onward introduced full synchronization bonuses for completing certain objectives like not being seen or killing a certain amount of people. So while the plan can fail in gameplay and result in you having to chase the enemy, canonically your player character really did kill the guy while staying unseen, or slaughtering hundreds of guards single-handedly.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_f84c42c0	comment	Lupin III is a frequent abuser of this trope. No matter how clever the bad guys are, Lupin always one-ups them at the last minute with a new gadget or a brilliant ruse — the audience knows he always has something up his sleeve, but we're almost never told what. The more thought and planning we see go into a caper, the less likely the gang will have any loot by the end. This trope is subverted at the beginning of the Made-for-TV Movie Lupin III: Seven Days Rhapsody. The special starts with, as with every special, a successful heist (this time, taking the money off the hands of some rich men during a horse race), but it turns out to be a flashforward as part of Lupin explaining the plan to Jigen one week before the heist will take place. The "Seven Days" the two of them are waiting for. Then, at the end of the special, a Double Subversion takes place, as Lupin gets to the tracks, but the horse race was cancelled due to weather conditions. It was averted once: One of Monkey Punch's only rules for Lupin III: Dead or Alive was that Lupin and the gang had to get the treasure in the end.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Emissary", Worf tells Picard that there may be an alternative option in stopping a 23rd century Klingon Sleeper Ship, but we aren't told what it is until we actually see him and Kâ€™Ehleyr sitting in the command chairs in full Klingon regalia. In "The Defector", Picard calls Worf to his ready room, but their meeting is not shown. Later, he sends Worf off the bridge to deal with a message from a Klingon ship. These are the only hints shown that Picard has called in the Klingons for backup, since there are no other Federation ships close enough to help. The sight of three Birds-of-Prey decloaking is enough to get Tomalak to back down. Happens twice in "The Best Of Both Worlds: Part II": The audience is told nothing of Data and Worf's "special mission" â€” to physically retrieve Picard/Locutus from the Borg cube. While wondering how to separate Picard from the Borg collective consciousness, Data simply tells Crusher "perhaps there is a way I can access the machine, Doctor.", and we aren't told what that plan is till we see Data linking with Locutus.
