Erin Patterson, the woman at the centre of Australia's mushroom poisoning case, takes the stand as a defence witness in her murder trial. She provides detailed testimony about her personal life, relationships, and the deterioration of family ties with her in-laws who later became alleged victims in the case.

• Living a relatively stable life in July 2023 with her children in her new "final home" in Leangatha
• Experiencing increasing emotional distance from the wider Patterson family, particularly her in-laws Don and Gail
• Meeting Simon at work in 2004 and transforming from "fundamentalist atheist" to having a spiritual awakening in church
• Marrying in 2007 and embarking on a road trip around Australia where she gave birth to their first child
• Brief separation from Simon in 2009 after growing tired of travelling, though they continued co-parenting
