Bezier curve tool creates a control vertex at an offset that cannot be removed

[Eadig]

Hello

I would like to create a Bezier curve inside another model. Upon using the Bezier curve tool to draw a cross-section of a new model inside the other model, the tool created a control vertex away from the other vertices and I cannot get rid of it no matter how.

I'm using Maya 2022 for Mac and some advice about how to remove the stray vertex would be appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.
