Dennis Murphy looks the part of a upstanding politician meandering the marble laden halls of the Arkansas State Capitol building, where this Dateline murder investigation sets it's scene. This episode revolves around the surprising murder of a former state senator by an alligator dressed as a congressman that had been transported over the Arkansas state lines by Ivanka and Justin Bieber. No? Well maybe this is a bit far fetched, but because the victim was in the political sphere the theories in this case flew fast and loose. Even when the true motive behind the murder is much more simple, senseless and sinister. Kimberly and Katie take a break from creating their Daily Dennisisms flip calendar to caucus on the crime at hand and special delegate Joni weighs in with her feelings on the issues. Oh say can't you see this is going to be a great episode? Please enjoy this very special installment of A DATE WITH DATELINE: Checks and Balances or Chelsea's Revenge.

Official Description from NBCU: When a former Arkansas State Senator is found fatally stabbed, investigators must determine if her murder is connected to her political career or her personal life. Dennis Murphy reports.
