Hey, everyone, it's Andrea Canning, and we are talking Dateline. And today we are talking about Blaine's episode called Temptation. Hey, Blaine. Hello, my love. How are you?

All right. Yeah, there's so much to unpack with this episode. Yes.

And if you haven't seen it, you can watch the episode on Peacock or listen to it in the Dateline podcast feed and then come right back here.

Later, we'll have an extra clip from Juliana's testimony.

Then Blaine will answer some of your social media questions about this episode.

Okay, let's talk Dateline. Let's do it. Blaine, just give us a recap on this episode. Sure. So this is something that happened in Northern
