Who Could That Be At This Hour?
- The man and woman Snicket was with? They're not his parents, no matter how the text initially gave you that impression otherwise.
- The reason why they're impersonating as his parents is because they are other V.F.D. chaperones in disguise, and plan to dose him with laudanum — a dangerous sleeping draught — and take him away towards who knows where.
- It doesn't help that wherever Snicket is heading for his apprenticeship isn't necessarily much better either.
- Ellington's backstory. She was just living her life with her father without bothering anybody. But one day, her father was gone, never returned even long into the night, and by next morning, a stranger phones her and tells her that she would never see her father again unless she assists him. Such a young girl, but faced with just terrible odds.
- Someone has already attempted to murder — via by a not so pleasant and not so quick death by drowning. And the water is incredibly mucky. Not a dignified and good way to go for a white dwarf actress.
