In "The Penultimate Peril", Geraldine is seen at the Hotel Denouement. She was seen in the rooftop sunbathing salon with Esmé Squalor and Carmelita Spats. When Dewey Denouement is accidentally killed during a confrontation with Count Olaf which woke up all the patrons, Geraldine quotes that the Baudelaires are no ordinary murderers. When Justice Strauss proposes a blindfolded trial, she did not want Geraldine to do any premature news stories. During the blindfolded trial, Geraldine submitted some newspaper articles as evidence. When Count Olaf starts the fire at the Hotel Denouement, Geraldine was last seen on one of the floors using her microphone as a cane while squealing about the headlines.
