Maybe? At lunch she told them she had cancer. Thatâs a big fat lie too, maybe she wanted them to feel sorry for her and give her attention. But they canât do that if they are dead, so who knows? She probably didnât think that far. None of her story is cohesive enough to make me think she had some genius plan. Maybe in her head, making them feel sorry for her and then suffering a slow death pleased her, and thatâs as far as her logic went.

Is it possible that Erin wanted to make the elderlies a little bit sick (not actually kill them outright) to bring Simon closer to her? Munchausen by proxy perhaps?

I donât think she had a genius plan either thatâs why I think it was an impulsive act. Planned murder? I donât think so.
Depending on what the prosecution have I wouldnât be surprised if the jury want the charges downgraded to manslaughter or negligence when they go out.

Itâs possible. Itâs also possible that she did nothing at all but is a compulsive liar in general which makes her look guilty.
Buy my take (not that Iâve been following closely) is that it is far more likely that sheâs absolutely guilty and too stupid to understand that people can see through her lies. Iâd put the alternative possibilities into the category of technically possible, but so unlikely I wouldnât consider it reasonable to entertain them (i.e. beyond reasonable doubt).

See the thing is, if you planned on killing a few people, you wouldâve dehydrated those mushrooms and got rid of the dehydrator a few months back. I think the poisonings were impulsive.

She also begged Simon to come to the lunch, even tried to guilt him with how hard sheâd worked and how much sheâs spent. Along your thoughts, maybe she wanted to make them a bit sick so she could take care of them and show how important she is?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
Yes.
The fact that Simon didnât come to the lunch couldâve tipped her into the âyouâll have to talk to me sooner or laterâ.
