The very next day, at the Palace of Justice, Esmeralda stood before the court, accused of murdering Phoebus with the additional use of witchcraft by the witnesses and Charmalou the prosecutor. While Phoebus is making his move, Frollo bursts out from his hiding place and stabs the captain, leaving Esmeralda alone to be convicted of the crime she didn't commit. Unaware of Frollo's insane nature, Esmeralda attempts to convince Phoebus that she must remain chaste. Frollo confronts Phoebus, who allows the priest to watch him and Esmeralda have their way with one another. He reveals how Captain Phoebus and Esmeralda will be together that night.

Later that day, Quasimodo is being flogged, Frollo approaches the pillory, but leaves Quasimodo to suffer. He is instead sentenced to two hours of public torture. Gringoire attempts to appeal to Florian, saying that Quasimodo's deafness renders the case unproven. Estouteville, before leaving the court, orders Florian to sentence Quasimodo to one hour of flogging in the pillory to make sure he will respect the law. Jehan, encouraged by Robin, takes the opportunity to be Quasimodo's lawyer, explaining to the provost how he, as the brother of the archdeacon, is given the benefit of the doubt. And when Provost Robert d'Estouteville, asks Quasimodo of his crimes, he instead gave them false answers, angering him as well.

Sports Day was taken very seriously at Notre Dame, and if you won, you’d be sure to tell everyone about it. If you had friends in other houses, you could wave goodbye to that friendship. Just before the end of the day, the winning house was announced. All five houses would pile onto the field, and students would make banners, bring megaphones and cheer their peers on.
