A Series Of Unfortunate Events Season 4 Episode 1

Okay, Let's Imagine A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 4 Existed... And It Started Like This

Let's just pretend, for a moment, that Netflix decided to bless us with more Baudelaire misery. What if there was a Season 4?

Episode 1: The Case of the Missing Sugar Bowl (Again!)

Imagine the episode opens not with a bang, but with a very dramatic thud. It seems Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are now living in…Iceland?

Why Iceland? Because why not! Maybe the constant darkness reminds them of their lives.

They’re under the questionable “protection” of a new guardian. He's a jolly, overly enthusiastic Viking reenactor named Bjorn. Bjorn's specialty? Whale blubber recipes.

He means well. But his attempts at comfort are hilariously misguided. Whale blubber smoothies? No, thanks.

Plot twist! The infamous sugar bowl is missing again. Seriously, how many times can one bowl disappear?

My unpopular opinion: the sugar bowl is probably empty anyway. Maybe it just looks cool.

Olaf's Latest Disguise: A Really Bad Poet

Of course, Count Olaf isn't far behind. He's disguised himself as a traveling poet named "Olafson."

His poems are truly terrible. Think limericks about arson and orphans. Art!

He tries to win over the locals with his awful verse. He fails spectacularly. They prefer Bjorn's blubber recipes.

Sunny, naturally, is the first to see through his disguise. Her baby babble is surprisingly insightful.

“Olaf! Bad!” she probably coos. Or maybe something more eloquent in baby language.

The Icelandic Literary Society is Involved (Naturally)

The Baudelaires stumble upon a secret meeting. It's a group of Icelandic literary enthusiasts. They're obsessed with obscure V.F.D. documents.

Turns out, the sugar bowl might be hidden in a very specific Icelandic saga. It's about a mythical snow monster.

My unpopular opinion: The snow monster is probably just Bjorn in a costume. He really loves Vikings.

The literary society is led by a stern librarian. She's suspiciously fond of riddles. Also, she has a monocle.

Monocles are always a sign of something fishy. Just saying.

A Chase Through the Fjords!

A chase ensues! The Baudelaires, chased by Olafson and the librarian. They are skiing through snowy fjords.

Violet MacGyvers a toboggan out of whale bones. Klaus deciphers the saga. Sunny bites Olafson's ankle.

Teamwork makes the dream work, even in Iceland.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger. They find a clue inside an ice cave. It points them towards… Canada?!

Canada? Now that's a whole new level of unfortunate.

My unpopular opinion: Maybe they should just give up and open a bakery. They’ve earned it.

But alas, their series of unfortunate events must continue. Tune in next time for… more misery!
