I agree. But I wonder what started the fight?
I doubt that there was a fight that night. IMO JC would not have started it as from what we know about him, he would not start a fight when Molly's parents were staying there - especially not at 2.30am if they were sleeping in separate bedrooms and he had to play golf with his father-in-law the next morning. Golfers usually start early in the morning too.
One theory I have is that JC and Molly could have had a fight on the Friday night when Molly fat-shamed JC in public at a function and went home before her by himself. Perhaps when they got home, Molly was angry with him for leaving her there and had to get a taxi or lift home by herself.
Either this Friday night or before July 30 when she got the sleeping drug,
Mr Corbett did not suffer from the sleep issues for which the drug was prescribed. His wife got a prescription for Trazodone on July 30, just three days before Mr Corbett's death.

After Wayne Corbett left, or in anger due to Molly's treatment of him, JC could have exploded verbally and told Molly that he had had enough of her spending sprees with his money, her fat-shaming him when he had already lost one stone in weight, her abuse of Jack, her obsession with trying to adopt his children and that she would only ever be their stepmother, and that there had been a change of ownership of the company he worked for and because his future role in that company was unclear, he had applied for a transfer back to ireland and he would not be taking her with him.
Molly suffered a fear of losing control and narcissistic injury as a result and began to brood over it as this meant separation and future divorce. Where would she live? Maybe she would have to get a real job. Who would she live with and where as she had not lived alone for a very long time? She would miss "her children" too and the lifestyle she enjoyed with JC.
MMC then probably phoned her parents about what JC had said to her and probably asked her parents what she could or should do about it.
Because I see this case as a premeditated one, a plan was put in place.
It will be interesting if they discovered any emails from MMC to her parents or anyone else on this matter.
They might have agreed that MMC would have too much to lose in a divorce but if JC was murdered, MMC could have it all - the children, the house, the car, the insurance policy of $600,000 and the money in their joint accounts. MMC would never have to work again. TM probably suggested that it could be done in self-defence and self-defence of others and they would get away with it. So TM suggests that they will pretend that they are coming over to stay on the Saturday night so that TM can play golf with JC on the Sunday and to see "their grandchildren". Don't tell JC that we are coming until the Saturday. TM says he will bring Jack a new baseball bat but will not give it to him until the Sunday. This will be used as his weapon to fend off JC whom we will say is choking MMC. In the meantime, Molly is to find her weapon and a paving rock is suggested. We will pretend that it is part of Jack's project at school. So that JC is vulnerable, we will wait for him to be sound asleep first so about 2.30am would be the ideal time. In the meantime, MMC is to get a sleeping drug for her foot problem but not from a doctor. After dinner on the Saturday night, MMC is to crush up the sleeping tablet and put it in a drink she will give him - a beer or a coffee. About 2.30am, MMC is to scream loudly as if JC is choking her and threatening to kill her which supposedly wakes TM up and he comes to the rescue and they both bash the daylights out of JC until he is dead. TM then phones 911 and they claim self-defence and self-defence of others. The local police will believe them as TM is ex-FBI, SM is to phone Wayne not giving any details and she will look after the children on the night as they will have to go to the police station to make their statements, they will immediately arrange the funeral so there is no autopsy, the body will be cremated and relatives in ireland will not be over in time for it and apply for custody of the children. As JC's widow, she will have it all and everybody will believe that JC deserved to die as he was such an abusive man saying that he intended to kill her otherwise MMC would have been the one who was dead. End of story.
