After a hiatus to catch up on some other watchings, mostly movies, I've finally returned to Netflix's adaptation of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. I picked up with the Season 3 debut, the two-part interpretation of Book the Tenth, The Slippery Slope. When last I left the Baudelaire orphans, it was a cliffhanger...literally...as Violet and Klaus were racing toward a cliff in a runaway caravan and Sunny the lone prisoner of Count Olaf.
The orphans have never found themselves is such direct peril as they do in this episode. However, there is still hope. The VFD's secret headquarters is within their sights and there they hope to find answers and help in saving their sister and ultimately themselves. However, they soon discover that there are threats far more dangerous than Count Olaf at work.
This episode continues to peel away layers, exposing more secrets to develop the larger plot contained in the overall series. And while many horrible things happen to many other children in the story, the episode ends with a bit of hope for the Baudelaire orphans. But as we all know by now, that hope is likely to be short lived.
