A large and rude audience shows up to see the lions devour someone. Among the audience is the female reporter who broke the story that the Baudelaires murdered 'Count Omar'. Olaf dramatically unfolds a paper that will show who is to be devoured by lions, and Violet and Klaus are picked.

The orphans go back to Lulu's tent to consult her. They first discover the V.F.D. symbol on the outside, and inside find a secret archival library under the table hidden by a tablecloth. The mysterious effects behind her fortune telling turn out to be no more than ropes and pulleys. They are discovered when Lulu comes in.

She is a member of V.F.D. and tells them about the V.F.D. disguise kit and a schism which happened in the organization.
