Andrea Canning is braving dangers hitherto unseen in a Dateline unlike any other! A snake purveyor is murdered in his emporium and the main suspect is immediately a cold blooded 600 lb. gentleman who appears to be missing from his cage. But don't get hissssterical! The murderer is a cold blooded killer of the human variety this time. Kimberly and Katie are firmly in House Slytherin for this episode as many of the people with 2 legs appear to be making really, really poor decisions. But it looks like the scales of justice tip just enough to put the right person behind bars, giving us an epic Queen Canning vs. Snake Oil Salesperson prison interview. Get ready to shed any preconceived snake bias because it's time for a very, very, very ssssspecial episode of A DATE WITH DATELINE: Asp and You Shall Receive!
