Plot
The episode opens with Naegi in his shower, pondering with the thoughts on the deaths of Junko, Kuwata, and Maizono. Following the class trial, Monokuma grants access to the second floor of the academy, containing a library and a swimming pool with gender-divided changing rooms.

Whilst searching the library, the group find a broken laptop and a letter that indicates Hope's Peak Academy has actually been shut down for years, along with a storeroom filled with confidential files.

As the pool changing rooms require ElectroIDs to unlock, Monokuma introduces a school rule that students are forbidden from exchanging their ElectroIDs. Later, Makoto Naegi comes across Touko Fukawa, who appears to have a thing for the cold-hearted affluent progeny, Byakuya Togami, before winding up as a witness to a sauna endurance battle between Mondo Owada and Kiyotaka Ishimaru, who end up bonding with each other.

The next day, Monokuma announces his next incentive, in which he will publicly announce everyone's secrets unless someone is killed in the next 24 hours, although Naegi believes no one would kill over something so trivial.

The next day, however, they discover programmer Chihiro Fujisaki murdered in the girl's changing room, hung up like a crucifixion with the words "Bloodbath Fever" written in blood on the wall. During the investigation, some peculiarities are found, such as a seemingly disappearing coffee stain and curious unfitting posters, along with a testimony by Celestia Ludenberg that she saw Fujisaki the night before.

Togami tells Naegi that he believes this to be the work of a homocidal maniac named Genocider Syo who crucified victims in a similar fashion. Asahina then retrieves them, explaining that Fukawa has locked herself in her room and she only wants to speak with Togami. Fukawa apologizes to Togami that she couldn't keep her promise and then says she won't let Genocider Syo win. She then hides in her room again. As Asahina attempts to get Fukawa out, Monokuma announces that the school trial is starting.
