Unknown to Kit, Esmè had slipped sugar into her drink at the Opera. Therefore, when poisoned with the mycelium, it didn't affect her. Raising her own child, plus the Quagmires and Baudelaires, was hard for her, but she knew it was only a year before she could go back, find Dewey, live happily once more. But one year seemed so long to wait...

Kit and Dewey were happy together, but sometimes Kit wished she could make it known. She hadn't seen her brothers in ages, and she missed spending time with them. Dewey couldn't reveal himself to the public, so instead they kept their relationship secret, making it so only Frank and Ernest knew. They did, of course, plan on telling Jacques and Lemony next time they saw them. If Lemony was alive, that was.
