Summary
Shortly after an investigation of the murder scene, the school trial begins to find Kiyotaka Ishimaru's and Hifumi Yamada's murdererer. Yasuhiro Hagakure is the main suspect of this trial, because of Yamada's dying words: "Yasuhiro", which is obviously his name, and so mostly everyone thinks it can only mean that Hifumi was killed by him. The 'Justice Robo' outfit also fits better on him than on anyone else, and it only adds to an increasing suspicion of him being the culprit. After more discussion, Celestia Ludenberg is decided as the culprit. She denies it, but the students find some evidence that strongly suggests that she is the one responsible for Yamada's death, and the one who planned out Ishimaru's death for him. Hifumi Yamada was her accomplice, but was later murdered by her shortly after him murdering Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Celes tricked him into thinking that Ishimaru had stolen Alter Ego from the locker room, but was actually stolen by Celestia herself, and all went according to her plan. It is also revealed that her real name is actually Taeko Yasuhiro, and she murdered Hifumi only because she wanted her dream to come true: to own and live in a castle with servants attending to her every needs, and the 10 billion yen Monokuma offered as a reward for graduating could be used to increase her chances of her dream coming true. Celes gives Kyouko Kirigiri the key to the locker in which Alter Ego is stashed in, and is then dragged away to her execution: 'Versailles-style Witch Burning'.

The episode ends with Kyouko Kirigiri and Makoto Naegi conversing with each other: Naegi asking her why she doesn't trust him if they're friends. Kirigiri says that she'll try to trust him, and then tells him of a secret room in the boy's restroom in the second floor, and that there are no cameras in there. Naegi goes to investigate, and finds a book with a note in it that says: "We must not leave this place." He is then caught off guard and attacked by a mysterious masked person. After being knocked unconscious, he wakes up and find the bookshelf he got the book from, empty.Then, he opened a door only to find Monokuma and Oogami both with shining eyes, most likely talking about something.
