Harry takes his Suicide Club to view a suicide victim in the morgue. Footage of female students and Lauren showering are stolen. A frustrated Marla sends her students to Steven's office. A student's hit list is found.


Tropes present in the episode:

  • Adults Are Useless: This gets lampshaded by Harry during his meeting with parents.
  • Bathos: After dealing with the episode's crises, Steven and Scott get a much-needed laugh when Harvey comes in to complain that someone stole his pants and hung them on the flagpole.
  • Corner of Woe: Harry, following his breakup with Lauren, is last seen sitting sullenly in his empty classroom, grading papers.
  • Get Out!: Marla to Kevin Jackson, then another student, then the rest of her class.
  • Internal Reveal: Lauren finds out that Harry knew Tyronn Anderson killed a rival gang member.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Harry, per usual, faces the heat for taking his Suicide Club to a morgue.
