Haute Cuisine Is Weird: Everything Esmé eats, but Café Salmonella is the most traditional example (seriously, salmon ice cream).

Continuity Nod: The trees on Dark Avenue are removed by workers at Lucky Smells Lumber Mill, which hasn't yet shut down despite Sir's going missing.

Combat Stilettos: Olivia climbs up the side of 667 Dark Place wearing high-heel boots.

Chekhov's Gun: The second elevator, right next to the Squalor apartment.

Then she turns out to be working with Count Olaf and shoves the kids down the elevator shaft.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Esmé Squalor initially seems no more than a slightly bossy woman far too obsessed with what's 'in' and is just as oblivious to Count Olaf's disguises as the Baudelaires' previous guardians.

Bad Job, Worse Uniform: Working at the Café Salmonella requires dressing up in a restrictive salmon costume.

Larry Your-Waiter and Jacqueline try to help the kids, but are unable to shove their way through the fleeing restaurant crowd. Adults Are Useless: Jerome Squalor is a definite improvement over anyone at Prufrock Prepatory, but he's also spineless.The trio need to work quickly to convince their new guardians to help find Duncan and Isadora, especially with Olaf on the loose. Violet, Klaus and Sunny arrive at 667 Dark Avenue, and into the arms of Esmé and Jerome Squalour. As enticing as the sidewalk may seem, PLEASE resist all urges to jump off any building to fall towards it upon watching this show.
