To prepare for this journey, Dr. Montgomery asks Violet to look and fix the snake traps, Klaus to read information on different species of snakes, and Sunny to cut a long rope into usable pieces. For a week, they enjoy these tasks with Dr.Montgomery. On the day the new assistant arrives at Dr. Montgomery's house, Dr.Montgomery has gone out to buy supplies and the Baudelaire orphans are waiting for the new assistant. When the new assistant arrives, they discover that the new assistant, calling himself Stephano, is really Count Olaf.
