Whether retired or not depending on when the banana-choking incident happened, Mr. Remora reappears in "The Penultimate Peril" staying in room 371 with Vice-Principal Nero and Mrs. Bass, having been invited to a cocktail party at the Hotel Denouement by "J.S." and makes a brief reference to running from the law (possibly a reference to Mrs. Bass's bank robbery). Mr. Remora stated that the invitation he got stated that there be an all you can eat banana buffet. When Sunny brought Vice-Principal Nero, Mr. Remora and Mrs. Bass to the Indian restaurant, Hal tries to communicate with Mr. Remora using a V.F.D. coded phrase "I didn't realize this was a sad occasion." However, Mr. Remora fails to understand, meaning that he is probably not part of V.F.D., and commented to Hal "it won't be a sad occasion if you feed us." When making his order, Mr. Remora orders 48 orders of fried bananas. When Dewey Denouement is accidentally killed during a confrontation with Count Olaf which woke up all the patrons, Mr. Remora chose the side of the Baudelaire children where he mentioned good things about them which Vice-Principal Nero mimicked. During the blindfolded trial, Mr. Remora submits the gradebooks as evidence. When Count Olaf starts the fire at the Hotel Denouement, Mr. Remora was last seen wandering the seventh story with Nero while wondering about fried bananas.
