Synopsis
Jason's teacher chides him for his lack of after school activities and Jason regrets not being able to do more. Three students ask him to help as a stagehand that afternoon. They show him how to navigate the school using the catwalks. They intend to change their grades in a locked office but run out of time and promise to meet later. Jason arrives early and sees them making the change. As he wonders what Batman would do, he remembers Bruce telling him, "let the criminals trip themselves up." The next day it's revealed the administration has caught the error and identified the perpetrators.
