Shit Talk

Shit Talk is the title of the fourth episode of American Vandal's second season which was first broadcast on September 14, 2018. The second season of the show follows Sam Ecklund and Peter Maldonado's investigation into Turd Burglar and his crimes.

Summary
Peter and Sam come into contact with The Turd Burglar and also come across the circumstantial evidence of a possible fourth crime anticipated but seemingly didn't take place on December 4th. Their reasonable doubt about Kevin's innocence and Chloe's eyewitness account increases, prompting them to interview Kevin and Chloe about their friendship.

They also look into evidence of an incident involving the iOS 11 glitch that affected iPhones, causing them to replace the letter "I" with "A?", which narrows down the list of suspects due to the glitch's presence in the Turd Burglar's social media posts. Sam and Peter access the school's anonymous tip box to find recurring names, finding three: Drew Pankratz, Jenna Hawthorne, and Paul Schnorrenberg.

They investigate their alibis, motives, and personalities: Pankratz and Hawthorne's alibis were very solid, meanwhile, a clue into Schnorrenberg's motives leads Sam and Peter to have an interview with his teacher Ms. Montgomery. A chance observance causes Sam to sneak into the teacher's lounge, after noticing an advent calendar surprisingly similar to one posted online from the Turd Burglar's account after the presumed timeframe of the fourth crime, making him and Peter deduce that a fourth crime did happen and the calendar was used for that crime.
