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.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Count Olaf starts walking from the balcony to the stairs, you can see his right hand when he is saying "lovely home" with no writing. Later when he looks at his hand to remember Violet's name, his hand has writing on it. (00:09:20)
Count Olaf: I must say, you're a gloomy looking bunch. Why are you so glum?
Klaus Baudelaire: Our parents just died.
Count Olaf: [nonchalantly.] Ah, yes. How very dreadful. Wait, let me do that one more time. Give me the line again while it's fresh in my mind.
Klaus Baudelaire: Our parents just died?
[Olaf pretends to be shocked.].
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: Where were the children when the house was burning?
