This show is for the birds. Because lord knows no human would want to watch it.

The newest guardians of the Baudelaires turns out to be an entire village, who take them under their wing; a literal metaphor as the entire town is obsessed with crows. The trio's mission to rescue Duncan and Isadora continues.


Tropes:

  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Klaus goes to look at Hector's books, two of those visible have the same cover design as the book series and another is a history of Lucky Smells, the mill from season 1.
  • This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Unfortunately subverted: Mr. Poe's "talent for bureaucracy" actually comes up where it might be useful outside of his job; however, he only makes the situation worse and tightens the noose on a man who's not Count Olaf.
  • Villain Song: There's a lot of scatting as Count Olaf is seen trying and failing to make one happen.
