- "I know, it's funny. I'm the girl in the dirty pictures, ha-ha..."
Discretion Assured is a storyline mission in Chapter IV.
The Mission
Intro
Jimmy sees Mandy sitting at the back of the bleachers in the gym by herself, apparently very upset and he sits down next to her. Unexpectedly, she pours her heart out to him. The pictures that Jimmy took for Earnest earlier in the mission Paparazzi have been blown up into posters and placed around campus and town. Mandy is horribly upset, thinking that now everyone will think she's a slut, and that she'll probably get expelled. When she says that she "probably deserves it", though, Jimmy is moved to pity and agrees to do something about it.
Walkthrough
Jimmy has to tag over the posters. He is automatically given spray paint for the mission.
First, Jimmy has to tag over the two posters on campus. One is on the south end of the main building, where the Bullies Trent, Davis, and Wade are staring at. Jimmy tags over it, causing Wade to insult him. The second one is near the library, with Donald and Algie, who has gotten "mayonnaise" on his pants, staring at it. When he covers it up, they walk away disappointed.

The time limit resets here. Three more posters are in Bullworth Town. One is by the abandoned movie theater, one by Town Hall, and one by Dragon's Wing Comics. The latter is being stared at by Bo and Kirby, who attack Jimmy when he starts to cover it up. The others are being looked at by various townsfolk.
As soon as Jimmy tags over the first poster, a short cutscene plays. Thad Carlson has several more posters, and he places them over the covered up ones. Jimmy can try to quickly cover them all, as Thad stops once he has done this. He can also look for Thad and then knock him out.
If Jimmy steps inside the store to buy paint, all the posters will be uncovered when he leaves. However, Thad will not reappear once he has been knocked out.
With all the posters covered, Jimmy returns to Mandy. They kiss as the mission ends.
Trivia
- There is a texture glitch in Scholarship Edition version, in which Thad replaces the covered posters with another "covered" poster. However, it still needs to be sprayed.
- The defiled posters remain in place for the rest of the game. The color of the spray paint on each photo will also change.
- If Jimmy is wearing the Mascot Outfit when he completes the mission, Mandy will kiss the mascot head on the nose. Jimmy will receive the health bonus determined by how many Art classes he has passed.
- At the end of the mission, the "mission complete" music for the Nerds will play, even though this mission was given to Jimmy by a member of the Jocks clique.
- During the development process, there was a picture that depicted Mandy sitting on the toilet. This however, was cut in the final version to avoid the game's rating from escalating from Teen (T) to Mature (M).
- During development, it was intended for Algie to be running around plastering posters around town instead of Thad. The script internally references Thad as "algie".
