***L i N d $ @ y*** · 01-14-2017, 06:55 PM

Immediately after dismissing "Stefano", Montgomery notices that the door to his Reptile Room is ajar and investigates only to be attacked by an unseen figure.
The next day, the Baudelaires discover Olaf standing next to Montgomery's corpse. Olaf threatens to kill Sunny unless the siblings accompany him to Peru, but is prevented from carrying out his plan when Mr. Poe arrives at the last minute.
When the police determine that the "Incredibly Deadly Viper" killed Montgomery, the siblings successfully prove the viper's innocence and unmask Olaf.
Olaf escapes via the hedge maze as the siblings run into a mysterious woman who tells them to find Aunt Josephine.

If you were standing any closer... i would slap you... in the throat

^ that was a great line

I loved this episode as well. The only thing that could have made it better was if Monty was allowed to live somehow.

Mr. Poe is clueless as usual and the Baudelaire's had to practically hit him over the head with an anvil for him to figure out what was going on. So glad that he clued in before it was too late though

For the OP

heartღaflutter · 01-21-2017, 11:32 AM

Added it as well

**BlondieLeigh** · 01-21-2017, 03:32 PM

I knew it was coming but I hate that Uncle Monty died. He was awesome.

heartღaflutter · 01-26-2017, 08:47 AM

I loved uncle monty. .. Why did he have to die? Finally someone with The right intentions

Just Wanna slap mr poe on his head

Seems like klaus is figuring out what the telescope is for
The fake CSI team is hilarious because they all act so badly LOL

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 01-27-2017, 02:25 AM

Yeah, so sad that he had to die. It is rather ironic too because the Baudelaires seem to lead a life of misery and Uncle Monty is a flicker of hope but alas, he died.

Mr. Poe is truly frustrating in this ep. He means well but he's not really good at his job.

I hate that Count Olaf and his theater troupe escaped (again!).

Btw, the Reptile Room is so wonderful. It's my fave set on the show.

Notes! Notes!

---

Trouble is afoot! Oh he’s in there alright!

Yikes!

Violet, Klaus, love the PJs… Monogramed and everything!

Attagirl Sunny, get outta there!

EYES ON THE ROAD, SHADY!

Smooth there, “Stephano”…

True story, Sunny

That crap-eating grin there

Oh thank goodness… the Corner’s here

Ma’am… Sir…

Nurse Lucafont!!! Oh this conundrum of who goes where

I would slap you in the throat…

Inky didn’t do it! It’s a misnomer! Oh he’s on the loose…

Know nothing about snakes, do you??

Ha, got him to take off that mask right quick!

A QUARANTINE! *crickets* Meanwhile, in the Corner’s van!.. A QUARANTINE! Riiiiight…

Nice hands, bro…

Poe, you useless little cougher

“We bonded over biting.” Inky & Sunny, best buddies

Put your thinking caps on, Baudelaires!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Awww canned peaches

Hooky, you’re so cute when you’re not menacing..

Hey look there’s that thing again….

Sneaky little Klaus

Attaboy…

~~Audition~~ Autopsy

Hey there’s his journal

That should help! Look at you, finding all the things!

It was not the screeching iguana clock

Take two, Baudelaire sisters’ turn! Ribbon on! Teeth sharp!

Not the clock! Run, Violet!

Oh there’s the Poe freakout!

Inky is a good snake!

Hit ‘em with the facts, Baudelaires!

Oh suddenly you know all about the snakes now, do you? Didn’t you say you knew nothing? Busted!

Let’s see if he dies of natural causes

His sister IS a nice girl, and she knows how to do lots of things

Your story is falling to pieces, dude… Of course now Poe believes it… Ew!

Oh buddy…

Go go reptiles, get them! OH that iguana is maaaaad!

Trap door!

Awww he got the thingy!

JACQUELYN!

It’s more of a volunteer position…

Fierce and formidable? Josephine? Really? *snort*

Aww bye bye Inky

She came highly recommended by their parents, ha!

So many trapdoors… and now he’s off on a boat! Get him, girl! Oh we’re doing this thing? HA! But she got the thingy back!

Awww you just missed them… Uh oh… Time to kick butt!
