You might think Natalie Morales was going to slide on into the true crime world of beloved Dateline hosts with a quiet, run of the mill normal murder story. You would be wrong. This episode is WOW, filled with OMG moments and a very diabolical twist. And with every complicated Dateline case Kimberly and Katie have some serious questions. Can Law give us a call? Actually if Order could also call in, that would be great as we have a few issues to clear up with you as well. Science, you get to take the week off. So crack open a cold coke and join K & K for their extreme amounts of disbelief and outrage, and to hear Kimberly use her new favorite word way too many times. It's time for THE (titular) PHONE CALL!

Official Description from NBCU: When Kathleen Schroll makes a phone call that names her killer right before her death, it leads to the arrest of a father for murder, but after two trials and 12 years, authorities begin to wonder if he was the victim. Natalie Morales reports.

Wondery presents IN GOD WE LUST

A woman named Becki is lounging by the pool at the Fontainebleau Hotel when she decides to proposition a strapping pool attendant. Go on a date with her...and her husband. What begins as an unconventional proposition will soon throw them all into the international spotlight. And that’s because the couple is none other than Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife Becki, two of the most powerful figures in Evangelical America.

Wondery presents In God We Lust, hosted by Brooke Siffrin and Aricia Skidmore-Williams of Even the Rich. A story of an alluring sex scandal, power, money and a very public fall from grace. When word of their affair fell into the wrong hands it led to political extortion and a public outing that brought Jerry Falwell Jr.’s empire crashing down.
