Official synopsis

While the Quagmires keep up the search, the Baudelaires struggle to balance their studies with a punishing workout schedule, courtesy of Count Olaf.

Plot

Count Olaf is the new coach at Prufrock Preparatory School. The Baudelaire's try to reveal his identity but nobody believes them. To keep them occupied, Olaf assigns the Baudelaire's a special exercise that they must perform at sunset. Their special exercise is to run around in circles with paint until they create a luminous circle. The Quagmires try to help the Baudelaires by going to see the librarian but she hasn't had any luck finding the book. They run night after night which leads to them doing poorly in their classes. The Baudelaire's are called into Principal Nero's office and are reprimanded because of this. Olaf suggests that they are homeschooled by him. Nero agrees that if the Baudelaire's don't pass their exams tomorrow then they will be homeschooled. The Baudelaire's and Quagmire's band together to create a diversion so that the Baudelaire's can study and run laps. The Quagmires switch places with the Baudelaire's so that they can study while they run laps. This works for a while until the fake baby's rope they've been pulling breaks. Olaf gets suspicious so he goes to kick the "baby" but ends up kicking a bag of flour. The Quagmires realize that the jig is up so they run off and hide in the library. There they find the missing book and look through it to learn more about secret organizations and their spyglass. Unfortunately, one of Olaf's minions finds them in the library and they are kidnapped. Arthur Poe shows up to come and check on the Baudelaire's. He tells them that he's brought paperwork for their homeschooling just in case they fail. They try to tell him about Count Olaf but he believes that the computer system would've recognized him. The Baudelaire's are called to the stage in the auditorium to be tested. The librarian leaves disgusted by what's happening. She heads to the library but finds that it's been ransacked. She sees on the floor the book that the kids have been looking for. The Baudelaire's manage to pass their test. Nero allows them to stay for the remaining trimester. Suddenly, Olaf says that he must also endure a gym teacher evaluation. He challenges them to an arm wrestling match. He takes on both Violet and Klaus at the same time. They win with the help of Sunny. Arthur realizes that it is Count Olaf after Sunny reveals his tattoo on his ankle by taking off his shoe. Olaf runs away but the Baudelaire's give chase. He manages to escape but takes the Quagmires with him. Isadora tries to tell them about V.F.D but ends up knocking their half of the spyglass to the ground. The Baudelaries watch as Olaf escapes once again.
