A Series of Unfortunate Events The Wide Window: Part Two (2017–2019) watch online HD

The Baudelaires are stunned to find Aunt Josephine's suicide note, but quickly find everything about the circumstances highly suspicious.

The cab driver says "Call me Ishmael", a reference to Moby Dick, written by Herman Melville, the namesake of Hurricane Herman.

Isaac "Ike" Anwhistle can whistle while having crackers in his mouth. He is so named because if one says Ike Anwhistle out loud, it sounds like, "I can whistle."

Count Olaf (as Captain Sham) utters the phrase "Here's Shammy" while going after Josephine. This is a reference to The Shining and Jack Nicholson's famous line "Here Johnny" while he is going after Wendy.

Larry uses one of the V.F.D. code phrases, "I didn't realize this was a sad occasion." Lemony Snicket recounts a waiter at the Anxious Clown saying this to him in the book Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography. The waiter then gave Lemony instructions for how to stealthily leave the country.

The children's reference to Haruki Murakami comes from his novel "Kafka on the Shore" : "And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."

The sound from the leaches screaming is originally from the game Warcraft 3.

There's a character named Ishmael in the Lemony Snicket book The End.

Just before Larry gets a phone call at The Anxious Clown, the Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender is giving him the instructions for the pasta puttanesca the Baudelaires made in The Bad Beginning. Count Olaf also mentioned the dish in the previous episode when making up the story of how Captain Sham lost his leg.

Josephine Anwhistle is named after a mouse named Josephine in "Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk" by Franz Kafka. This is clear in The Reptile Room book, as it mentions a Café Kafka at Damocles Dock.

The author's notes for The Bad Beginning state that, in the Victorian art of flower arranging, peppermint symbolizes "cordiality, warmth of feeling." The Baudelaires are allergic to peppermint, and thus lack cordiality and warmth.

The distant light from the lighthouse when the Baudelaires and Josephine are on a rowboat might be a reference to the distant green light from the Buchanan household's dock in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A Series of Unfortunate Events has a lot of Great Gatsby references.

Larry the Waiter is told by the henchmen there are to be "No secret messages written in ketchup, mustard, or wasabi mayo ." Wasabi is used a cure for Medusoid Mycelium and is a vital plot element in the book series's Book 11,"Grim Grotto".

Aunt Josephine says that she and the Baudelaires parents had to make "A Vastly Frightening Decision" a reference to the VFD.

Near the end of the episode, after count Olaf has rescued the Baudelaires and Aunt Josephine. Count Olaf pushes Aunt Josephine off the boat. As she falls into the water, a clear shot of a stunt double is visable.
