The plot continues to thicken for the Baudelaire orphans in the adaptation of the eleventh book in the series. As the story gets nearer and nearer to the conclusion, we learn more about the events that led up to the ordeal that effects not only Sunny, Violet, and Klaus, but dozens of children in the fantastical world created in Lemony Snicket's books.
After escaping the clutches of Count Olaf for the millionth time in the last episode, the orphans are rescued by a young girl, who is also an orphan of a VFD parent, not to mention, the captain of her own submarine. However, their relationship gets off to a rocky start. While Klaus trusts their new friend, Violet feels as though she is hiding something.
Perhaps my favorite episode of the series so far, this is a Wes Anderson Life Aquatic inspired delight featuring 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea sets and amazingly quirky performances. It also expertly reveals big secrets in a way that only make you want to keep going.
The episode ends with the orphans back where they started in the very first episode. Perhaps a new beginning is in store, but we know better...more misery is sure to come and I can't wait.
