Nailed

Nailed is the third episode of Season 1 American Vandal.

Synopsis
Peter scrutinizes the motives of Ms. Shapiro, the Spanish teacher who testified against Dylan. Another teacher makes a surprising accusation.

Plot
Getting increasingly frustrated with Dylan's incoherent integrity, Peter decides to interview Dylan's Spanish teacher Mrs. Shapiro, the most beloved teacher at Hanover High, in hopes of getting a new perspective on Dylan's disrespectful and childlike manner in class. Shapiro believes she was the main target in the phallic incident, as her car was not only paint-sprayed but one of her tires was slashed.

Peter suspects foul play, as earlier in the aftermath of the phallic incident, at a senior assembly shortly after the incident, Vice Principal Keene threatened to cancel off-campus lunch and the senior prom. Shapiro intended to keep them intact, which had influenced Trimboli's testimony against Dylan.

Mr. Krazanski, one of Shapiro's colleagues, states that Shapiro is the one who brought up the idea of canceling off-campus lunch and the prom and that her intentions to bring them back was a ruse to strong-arm people into accusing Dylan. More reasonable doubt arises after Peter and Sam uncover a report concerning a nail that was in Shapiro's car that actually flattened the tire, debunking the slashed tire statement and leaving Peter unconvinced about Shapiro's statements. Shapiro gives Peter the cold shoulder when he tries to ask her more questions concerning Dylan.
