Enjoying show but characters make odd choices..

Warning: Spoilers
Again loving the show but they seem to make some bizarre decisions with it and people go totally out of character.

So wade and Da shi really establish they know what they are doing in this episode. They recruit Jin to go undercover and spy for them after the death of Jack all fair enough as she's both interested to find out what's going on and get revenge for Jack.

It's all going well, she infiltrated the group shocked to learn about Ye Wenjie being leader of the group, the authorities/army/MI5 it's never explained who it is pounce and come in to arrest everyone but here is where I think it went a little odd.

Why did they come in now? Surly they could have listened in a bit longer to find out what is going on seemed like they jumped the gun.

Why did they Blow Jin's cover like that so publicly? I'm no secret agent but surely you protect your agent? They didn't secure everyone before extracting her despite having the drop on the situation.

They way I would have done it is have them come in at the end of the meeting after finding out all they could, Ye wenjie tells everyone to "sit it's all part of the plan"

They secure the situation and start to lead everyone out in handcuffs including Jin who is taken same as everyone else (agents maintaining her cover), Tatiana could have escaped during all this with some of her security/alarmed cultists. She overhears a flustered Jin saying I'm not one of them asking for De Shi isn't a trained agent and realises she was a spy tries to free Ye wenjie causing a similar scene and getting shot trying to take out Jin escaping injured in the chaos of her agents attacking she crawls away.

It's not a major change but feels it wouldn't have better maintained the secret agent vibe if the experts hadn't blurted out "let's get you out of here" in front of the bad guys and would have secured everyone before they did so rather than letting a room full of armed "civilians" get the drop of them.
