2-3-4 Challenge Book Discussions #2 discussion

Gwen receives a troubling letter from Mel where he implies he knows where they live. She uses a “nuclear option” that turns out to be an arrangement to give Mel a beat down in prison. Your thoughts about the whole matter? Did she overreact, overplay her hand or play right into his? Did he get the best of her during that prison confrontation?

Mel was an evil mastermind. He played her from the beginning. In the end he got the best of her, he and his minions got more information from her than she got from him.

Exactly, Anita. She may have went there to threaten him, but he actually got more information out of her. He had too many minions inside and outside of the prison.

Ditto. She should never have gone to that prison. He won as soon as she showed up. He’s got a network that allows his mail to reach her so that should have been enough for her to stay home.

It took me a while to realize that Gwen had arranged for Mel to be beaten up in prison; I agree that she should have stayed away from him afterward.
