The two calls could be curbside pickup. Calling in to order and calling in to pick up? I suppose there's an app for that now. Maybe no phone call necessary.
I wonder if there is a pattern to when she sends Lucas to her cousins. Does she need a "break" on Saturdays to "prepare" for Sunday visits with her older boys. Clean the house up for prying eyes and get some one-on-one time with the baby?
Actually, now that I type that, it seems to me there was talk at the beginning of the case of not seeing abuse to Lucas until after the baby was born. Maybe he started being sent somewhere on a regular basis then so new mom Emily could get a "break" when Dad was away.
I'm sure Emily's "explanation" of Lucas missing out on the OG trip is redacted.
I also wonder if he generally tried to use gift cards instead of allowing unfettered access to cash, or if this was an actual gift.
Patience is a virtue. I'm working on it right now.
