Wiped Clean

Wiped Clean is the title of the fifth 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.

Plot
Influenced by their new deductions and leads, Peter and Sam find someone who potentially had an eyewitness account on the fourth possible crime: the former janitor, dubbed "Hot Janitor", whom most of the women attending school were infatuated with. He transferred to another school a day after the fourth crime. The duo tracks him down and the janitor mentions the incident, in which a teacher ate a piece of chocolate-covered cat feces put into the advent calendar, leading him and another teacher to vomit.

Peter and Sam deduce that the teacher who ate the piece was Mr. Fernandez, who vomited alongside one unspecified coworker. This caught Wexler's attention, prompting her to call in the Hot Janitor to clean up the mess and coerce everyone to keep quiet about it, covering up the incident and validating Kevin's innocence. Peter and Sam call in Chloe to discuss with Wexler, who strongarms Chloe to keep quiet. Chloe visits a distraught Kevin, who tells her to stop helping with the investigation.

Kevin suggests that Peter should place a camera in his locker which is adjacent to the teacher's lounge to observe who walks in and out of there. They surprisingly come across an unusual someone: Lou Carter, DeMarcus's friend, was seen suspiciously walking in and out.
