They could have written a random "there's no good option here; kill Connor or have Jowan kill Isolde or I'll do something to make you wish you had because I do GRIMDARK like Gurm" screwjob, but it would have been seriously crappy writing.

Issues of judgments of what they "should" have done aside, is an incorrect belief about what happens if you go to Redcliffe first the only reason not to go there first?
You leave a demon with absolutely no real harm done to him under the care of people that the demon already proved he was able to mind control.
