The school's only redeeming qualities are its friendly librarian, Olivia Caliban, and the surviving Quagmire triplets, Duncan and Isadora . During a lunch break, Klaus and Isadora discover that they are holding two halves of the same spyglass . The newfound friends quickly realize that they must track down a book on secret organizations to find the answers they seek--a book Jacquelyn sent Larry to give them, but which he carelessly misplaced . Meanwhile, Count Olaf and his troupe lurk around the grounds of the school, unable to enter the front doors due to an advanced computer system programmed by Nero to detect Olaf's presence . However, with Carmelita's help, Olaf finally gains entry and locks Larry in the cafeteria's walk - in refrigerator . He then dons his latest disguise: the school's new turban - wearing gym teacher . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 10 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "The Austere Academy: Part 2" </Td> <Td> Barry Sonnenfeld </Td> <Td> Joe Tracz </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Olaf is able to convince Nero to put the Baudelaires under a grueling exercise program, making the siblings run endless laps at night to prevent them from scheming against him, while also causing them to perform poorly in class from lack of sleep . Due to their slumping grades, Nero threatens to expel the Baudelaires if they fail a comprehensive exam to be given in front of the entire school, but because they must still exercise under Olaf's program, they know they will likely fail . The Quagmires offer to help, and that night take their place during exercises; however, their identity is discovered, and while hiding in the library, they find the copy of the book on secret organizations and read up on the purpose of the spyglass before they are caught by the Hook - Handed Man . The next day, with Mr. Poe in attendance, the Baudelaires readily pass the exam, and through it reveal Olaf's identity . Olaf and his gang then escape with the Quagmires, who try to shout the initials "V.F.D." from the backseat of Olaf's car . Meanwhile, Larry is rescued from the refrigerator with the help of Lemony's brother, Jacques, while Olivia walks off with the book on secret organizations that the Quagmires left behind . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 11 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "The Ersatz Elevator: Part 1" </Td> <Td> Bo Welch </Td> <Td> Daniel Handler </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> While a citywide manhunt for Count Olaf is underway, Mr. Poe takes the Baudelaires to the penthouse of Jerome Squalor and his trendy financial advisor wife Esmé . While being introduced to the Squalors, they find Olaf has already arrived, posing as a foreign auctioneer named Gunther . The Baudelaires theorize that Olaf is trying to kill Jerome so that he can marry Esmé and become their legal guardian again . They search the penthouse for the Quagmires to no avail, but Klaus becomes suspicious of an extra elevator that only seems to serve the penthouse . Meanwhile, Olivia tries to convince Mr. Poe about Olaf's scheme, which leads Jacquelyn to contact Jacques, who enlists her into their society . Esmé suggests they go out for lunch at a fashionable salmon - themed restaurant Cafe Salmonella, where Larry works to prolong their visit, giving Jacques and Olivia time to search the Squalor's building for the Quagmires . When the Baudelaires manage to sneak away and examine the second elevator, they learn that it is merely an empty shaft . With a makeshift parachute, they descend it to find the Quagmires locked in a cage at its bottom . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 12 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "The Ersatz Elevator: Part 2" </Td> <Td> Bo Welch </Td> <Td> Daniel Handler </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> The Baudelaires do not have the tools to free the Quagmires, so they ascend the shaft by turning the parachute into a hot - air balloon . They try to warn Esmé of Olaf's scheme, but learn too late that she is in cahoots with him and that they are planning to smuggle the Quagmires out of the city . Esmé pushes them down the elevator shaft, where they are caught in a net midway down . Sunny helps them to escape safely, and afterwards they find a secret passage that leads to the ashen ruins of their home . At the auction in Veblen Hall, the Baudelaires start a bidding war on a box labeled "V.F.D.", which they believe contains the Quagmires . Though they win the item, they find the box contains only doilies . In the aftermath, Olaf and his troupe escape with the Quagmires, who are hidden inside a red herring statue . The Baudelaires ask Jerome to help track down Olaf, but he is far too timid to do so, and gives up his guardianship of them . Mr. Poe tells the children that a village with the initials "V.F.D." is willing to raise them . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 13 </Th> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> "The Vile Village: Part 1" </Td> <Td> Barry Sonnenfeld </Td> <Td> Sigrid Gilmer </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Mr. Poe drops the Baudelaires off at the Village of Fowl Devotees, where the whole community will care for them collectively . The Baudelaires take up residence with Hector, a kindly handyman prone to fainting spells who is secretly building a self - sustaining hot - air mobile home, and soon begin finding clues written by the Quagmires themselves . Olaf, Esmé, and the troupe also arrive at the village, with Esmé disguising herself as the town's new chief of police . Jacques and Olivia also arrive and detain Olaf at the local jailhouse; the next day, the villagers learn of Olaf's capture and hold a town hall meeting, where Olaf appears in the disguise of Detective Dupin, tricking everyone into believing Jacques is Olaf . Jacques is sentenced to death, but Olivia convinces Esmé to free her and Jacques in exchange for the location of the Sugar Bowl, an object with ties to Esmé's past . Jacques stays behind to confront Olaf; however, the villain is unfazed by Jacques' offer of a truce, and he and Esmé incapacitate and kill him . The next morning, as the Baudelaires try to break into the jail to rescue Jacques, they are informed that "Olaf" has been murdered . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 14 </Th> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> "The Vile Village: Part 2" </Td> <Td> Barry Sonnenfeld </Td> <Td> Sigrid Gilmer </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> The disguised Olaf and Esmé quickly convince Mr. Poe and the town that the Baudelaires murdered Jacques / "Olaf," and they are promptly condemned to be burned at the stake . While in jail, the children instruct Hector to prepare his hot - air mobile home to help them escape . While Violet creates a battering ram to weaken the jail wall, Klaus deduces from their clues that the Quagmires are hidden inside a crow fountain in the village square . Larry and Jacquelyn arrive on the scene to distract the villagers long enough for the children to escape via a fire truck and follow Hector . The Baudelaires cover for the Quagmires as they use the truck's ladder to climb aboard the mobile home . As they do so, Olaf, Esmé, and the villagers arrive, and Esmé begins damaging Hector's home with a harpoon gun . Realizing their danger, the Baudelaires tell Hector to escape with the Quagmires . In thanks, the Quagmires try to throw their friends their notes about the secrets of V.F.D., but Esmé shoots them with a harpoon, scattering the pages and harming a crow . While the villagers accost the disguised villains over the injured bird, the Baudelaires collect as many of the ruined pages as they can and make their escape . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 15 </Th> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> "The Hostile Hospital: Part 1" </Td> <Td> Alan Arkush </Td> <Td> Joshua Conkel </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> The Baudelaires hitch a ride with volunteer singing candy stripers heading to Heimlich Hospital . They learn that there is a Library of Records that collects and stores esoterica . After sneaking past the hospital's administrator Babs, they meet Hal, the man who runs the library . He welcomes their help, but forbids them to read material in storage . While Hal shows them the ropes, a film reel labeled "Snicket" arrives and catches the children's attention . Meanwhile, believing the Sugar Bowl to be in the hospital, Olaf and his troupe infiltrate the building . Desperate for answers, the children are forced to steal Hal's keys to access the library, where they find the film . It contains a debriefing of Jacques by a V.F.D. volunteer, with Jacques informing the interviewer that someone has survived a fire, which may or may not be the one that killed the Baudelaire's parents . However, before they can watch any further, they are interrupted by Esmé; as they try to escape, the library is ruined . Violet is captured by Olaf while Klaus and Sunny hide in a chute, in possession of the film . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 16 </Th> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> "The Hostile Hospital: Part 2" </Td> <Td> Alan Arkush </Td> <Td> Joshua Conkel </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Olaf and Esmé hide Violet under a false name; to find her, Klaus disguises himself as "Dr. Faustus," with Sunny hidden in a sling underneath his coat . They eventually deduce which room Violet is in, but this is a trap laid by Olaf, who forces Klaus to operate on Violet inside an operating theater . Esmé promises to call off the scheme if Klaus can give her what he stole from the Library of Records, and he does so--only, it's not the Sugar Bowl that she has been searching for . Olaf, however, is interested in the Snicket film, and dashes off to watch it to learn its secret . Furious at its revelations, he burns the film, which also starts a fire in the hospital . The Baudelaires successfully evacuate the hospital and realize that their only chance to escape safely is in the trunk of Olaf's car . Hal is left depressed over the loss of the Library of Records . Elsewhere, an unknown person recovers the Sugar Bowl from the burning hospital . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 17 </Th> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> "Carnivorous Carnival: Part 1" </Td> <Td> Loni Peristere </Td> <Td> Joe Tracz </Td> <Td> March 30, 2018 (2018 - 03 - 30) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> A flashback to a masked ball at the V.F.D. headquarters shows Lemony trying to warn Beatrice about Olaf . In the present, Olaf and his troupe arrive at the Caligari Carnival to speak with its fortune - teller, Madame Lulu, about the fire's survivor . Lulu, who is really Olivia in disguise, tells them to wait for the answer in the morning . The Baudelaires overhear this, and hoping to speak to Lulu as well, assume the identities of circus freaks, with Violet and Klaus as a two - headed person and Sunny as a wolf child . After calling V.F.D., Olivia is able to tell Olaf the next day that one of the Baudelaire parents did indeed survive the fire . Olaf then presents a freak show that proves disastrous, so he sets off to find a pack of roaming lions to help attract a larger crowd . This gives an opportunity for the children to sneak into Lulu's tent, where they discover films, books, and disguises belonging to the Volunteer Fire Department--the secret organization their parents and guardians belonged to .

While Olivia admits she had to lie to Olaf about one of the children's parents surviving the fire, Jacques had asserted that there was a survivor, and they should head to the V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains to find them . Meanwhile, Olaf plans to throw one of the freaks into a pit filled with the hungry lions he has corralled, while Esmé connives to have Lulu killed . The next day, Olaf selects Violet and Klaus for the pit . When Olivia is told to push the children to the lions, she instead pushes them to safety, and is sent tumbling into the pit by Olaf for her troubles . As the children try to collect the V.F.D. materials from Lulu's tent, Olaf arrives and forces them to burn the tent down . Then, after placing Violet and Klaus in a towed caravan and taking Sunny in his car, Olaf has the other freaks cut the towing rope on a steep mountain path . At the same time, the last operative to pose as Madame Lulu arrives at the burning carnival as Lemony Snicket claims that she is someone he knows . </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> No . overall </Th> <Th> No. in season </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Directed by </Th> <Th> Written by </Th> <Th> Original release date </Th> </Tr>
