"The Miserable Mill: Part One"	TBA

The Miserable Mill: Part Two was the eighth episode of Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events. It covered the second half of The Miserable Mill.

Official synopsis

Klaus just isn't himself after seeing Dr. Orwell, an optometrist with oddly optimistic patients. Meanwhile, Violet works to clear her parents' names.

Plot

Upon the arrival of Dr. Orwell and Shirley, the Baudelaire children try to convince Sir that Shirley is really Count Olaf in disguise. However, like all of the other adults so far, he doesn't listen to their accusation.

The optometrist and her secretary have come to put their dastardly plan into motion. They will use a hypnotized Klaus to stir up trouble around the Mill. This will cause Sir to kick them out and leave them at the mercy of the Count.

Orwell has been giving the Mill workers "free eye exams" and has been hypnotizing them all these years. The Baudelaires realize that that's why the workers are so mellow and they take it upon themselves to find a cure. In the nick of time, Violet figures out that the words "inordinate" and "fire" will snap Klaus and the workers out of their trance. By saying "inordinate," she manages to prevent Klaus from sawing Charles in half.

Now aware of their poor living and working conditions, the workers begin to revolt. This causes Orwell to trip and fall into the incinerator, while Count Olaf manages to escape with his Hook-handed associate. Nearby, the Quagmire Mansion is burnt down by an unknown assailant, by means of a laser aimed through the window.

Mr. Poe finds the Baudelaires after Dr. Orwell's accident is discovered by his wife, Eleanora, and takes them to Prufrock Preparatory School. Snicket reveals that there they will meet and befriend the Quagmires, who are shown to be sitting just behind them. It is also revealed, by means of an old photograph, that Lemony Snicket and Count Olaf were both former students of the preparatory school.
