[S2 SPOILERS] Why didn't Vi...

[S2E3] Why didn't Vi forcefully remove the kid from Jinx thus letting Cait take the shot, instead of going against Cait? I understand the motives from storytelling and character development point of view, but this felt like blatant plot armor for Jinx and just senseless from Vi. They had the advantage in that moment, there was many ways to handle the situation, but Vi decides to go against Cait right at the cusp of achieving their mission. From my point of view, very hard not to side with Cait on this one - Vi sabotaged the mission, letting Jinx get away yet again.
