The police head to the school and Vice Principal Roy begins calling the worst troublemakers to the front office so he could discover the culprit.
The next day, Vice Principal Roy calls Greg to his office and he extracts an anonymous tip from Rowley disclosing that he was the offender. Greg explains himself and Vice Principal Roy tells him that he should’ve confessed earlier so his punishment was to scrub the green dye off the wall. While Greg cleanses the green dye, he asks Vice Principal Roy to purchase steel wood pads but Roy instructs him to persist with the bleach. Once Greg arrives home, he discovers that Vice Principal Roy reported him to the police and he starts fretting that they will return soon.[7]

Pantsing turns into a huge issue during Phys Ed and when Vice Principal Roy scolds the boys for it, he gets pantsed from under the bleachers. The student manages to escape before Vice Principal Roy could capture him and he later becomes notorious as the Mad Pantser.[10]

Susan manages to bail Greg out but then Vice Principal Roy opens up his documentation and he states that his grades have cascading. Vice Principal Roy then startles Greg by informing him that if his grades didn’t improve, he will need to head to Summer School. Greg is incertain if Vice Principal Roy was just attempting to frighten him but he says that if he was, it worked.[11] Vice Principal Roy hands Greg back the Magic 8 Ball however it was now damaged making it pointless.[12]
