They plan to learn the stalkers identity by catching them out with a bright light. They have a sleepover. They forget about the stalker and decide to play truth or dare.

The next day at school, Hannah and Tyler talk, and he agrees to get rid of the pictures. He asks Hannah out on a date. She refuses because he just admitted to being her stalker.

Clay wants him to destroy all the pictures but hesitates after Tyler shows him a picture of him and Hannah together. However he still asks him to destroy them.

Marcus invites Clay to a Halloween party asking him to bring the tapes. They try to convince Clay to move on and forget about Hannah and the tapes. Tony warns him not to trust anything Marcus and his friends say. As Clay bikes home, he sees that Hannah's house has been toilet papered. He stops and tries to clean it up but Olivia catches him and mistakes him for the culprit. He says that he was trying to clean up, she doesn't believe him but he convinces her by saying that he knew Hannah, so she invites him inside. He spends some time inside but leaves after Olivia tries to pressure him into helping them find out why Hannah killed herself.

Olivia and Andrew are both trying to deal with Hannah's unexpected death. Their store is losing customers to a new Walmart opening up nearby. He doesn't know why people aren't coming and Olivia says it's because of Hannah, people don't know how to act around them or what to say. Andrew is upset about this and muses that Hannah's death could've been prevented.

Clay decides to get back at Tyler for putting Hannah through yet another picture scandal. He goes and takes a photo of a naked Tyler and shares it with the other students. Tony texts Clay a confused, "What the hell?" Clay replies that he's dishing out his own justice.

How long were you watching me, Tyler?
— Hannah Baker on the tapes to Tyler


I didn't really think anything of it at first. Must have been the sound of a tree branch in the wind. But the sound followed me. I was too scared to move even to shut the blinds.
— Hannah talking about Tyler stalking her photographically.


Thing is, even though Tyler stopped coming around, I never stopped feeling afraid. So what could I do after that? First the school, then my house, even my own bedroom. Nowhere was safe. You took all that away.
— Hannah talking about not feeling safe


Knock knock, Tyler
— Hannah before ending Tyler's tape.


Besides, you're not the first one to come look at the famous window. We all did it. And we all took our shot.
— Marcus to Clay on Tyler's window.


Oh, Jesus Christ. T-t-these kids, they can't even spell, and they come up with this shit. How have we never seen this before?
— Principal Bolan, on the graffiti in the girls' restroom after Olivia calls it out in a School Community meeting.


Oh, well, faculty is not supposed to be in the students' restroom. You know, I could call the janitorial staff and see if they could repaint these walls.
— Mr. Porter to Principal Bolan on the graffiti in the girls' restroom.


I understand about the grief, all right? It's just the... It's the grasping for blame. It's just graffiti right?

Oh, my God!
