Was it a mistake to have agreed to the meeting at Wilbanks’ home? What could they have done differently?

They had to have the meeting but I wanted them to have a whole lot more people there as back up. If I had been them I would have taken more police and all the Decker's staff and had them lined up right round the house:)

I though the same. Why Frank didn’t think to have Gino or some beat cops as presence around the house. I agree that meeting had to happen.

I agree they could've brought more people, and they should've invited the cousin too since he was clearly involved like the rest of the family.

The mistake was not meeting there but Sarah leaving without Frank. On the other hand, the kidnappers were prepared for that as well.

The reasons for Frank and Sarah attending the meeting alone was a good one. If they came with a large entourage, it could have resulted in Willbanks standing his ground and taking Catherine. He would have thought they were ganging up on him.

There wasn't any reason for Sarah and Frank to think that something would happen at the meeting other than Willbanks demanding his daughter.

I'm glad that Frank was detained. It allowed him to remain clear headed and work with the police to find Catherine.

I still think they should have had people on the outside. Wilbanks wouldn’t have even known.

Good point, but it would have changed one of the best parts of the story.

Hahaha! Great point, Sharon😏
