Klaus climbs to the top of the tower to save sunny and discovers a giant magnifying glass pointed at the ruins of their house. Violet tries to convince judge strouss that the play is real but fails. Violet ends up marrying count olaf. Count olaf then preceeds to tell the audience his evil plan. Nobody can do anything because it's not illegal for him to marry violet. As count olaf is talking Klaus points the giant magnifying glass at the marriage certificate and sets it on fire. Count olaf tries to make a break for it but he is captured. The final scene has violet Klaus and sunny all sleeping as Mr. Poe drives them to their next guardian. Lemony Snicket tells us that Olaf has escaped and is now on the run.

Revealing mistake: When Violet and Klaus make the tent inside their bedroom in Count Olaf's house, they set up the light with the faces of their parents on it in front of it. Except when it shows the shadow of the object outside the tent, the edge of the picture frame isn't showing when it should. (00:21:40)
Stephano: I've been bitten forty-three...seven hundred times. Mostly on the face. A lot of this has been reconstructed but I think they did a great job even though my moustach is a tad askew.
Trivia: The instrument that Uncle Monty plays to the children is called an autoharp, from the Appalachian mountains - it's like an accordion, but the piano keys have been replaced with harp strings. Billy Connolly can actually play this instrument in real life, and the song he sings to the children is a song about Scotland, Billy's homeland.
Question: I'm still confused about something - what exactly was the whole point of the spy glasses?

Chosen answer: The spy glasses are not explained in the books, but it seems that these are symbols of the fact that they are in VFD, the secret organization we learn about later on in the series. Both Dr. Montgomery and Aunt Josephine's husband and brother-in-law, the Anwhistle brothers, are implied to have been a part of VFD.
