They're all guilty, if you ask me. We should just burn the whole place to the ground and call it a day.

Synopsis for "Second Semester, Part 4"
Colton Rivera and Pomeline Fritch escape capture by a teacher using one of Batman's smoke grenades but as they are being chased, Colton discovers a secret symbol of Arkham - the interlinking 'A's - and follows the tunnel into Mister Scarlet's room where he notices and steals an ancient map that Scarlet had marked. As Colton flees he bumps into Headmaster Hammer who gives him an hour to clear out his room as he faces expulsion.
As Colton leaves, the other members of the Pizza Club catch up to him and vow to fix the situation. Forty-five minutes into the deadline Colton, Pomeline and Kyle sit on a rooftop waiting for Pomeline's mother, a lawyer, to give them some help. The deadline is knocked back by a day and a trial is to be held.
Across the campus Eric Jørgensen rants and raves over how "they" stole his books, maps and symbols. In his rage he grabs a cloak and a mask and vows his revenge.
The trial seems to implicate Mister Scarlet although the map itself has mysteriously disappeared as has Pomeline and a recess is called. Instead of being at the hall, Pomeline and Tristan Grey explore where the map is pointing them and Pomeline discovers the Book of Gotham, her birthright.
During the recess Bruce Wayne disappears again but prompts the Pizza Club to investigate and they begin where Colton discovered the symbol. They soon find a picture covered in symbols but on the back is a drawing of Maps indicating it was Eric. Meanwhile, in the estate, Pomeline and Tristan discover that a tinted window reveals the details of the trail but they are unaware that Eric watches them dressed up in a cloak glowing with symbols.
