This episode is from Friday's transcript from the Erin Patterson murder trial, focusing on the prosecutor's examination of Erin's Facebook messages and her account of inviting Simon and his parents to the fatal lunch.

• Lisa hosts with guest Louise
• Erin's Facebook messages allegedly reveal frustrations with ex-husband Simon and his parents
• Messages include phrases like "I'm sick of this shit" and "f them" which Erin claims were just venting
• A Witness testified that Erin had portrayed Simon as a poor father and complained about him to online friends
• Did Erin mention "important medical news" when inviting Simon to lunch
• Simon's text declining the invitation and Erin's response urging him to reconsider become key evidence
• The prosecution suggests Erin deliberately kept her children away from the lunch where mushrooms were served
• Testimony examines what the prosecution claims as a deteriorating relationship between Erin, Simon, and his parents in months before the incident
