Pushing Daisies

Saturday 17 May 2008 9:00pm - 10:00pm

At the Longburrow School for Boys, a young Ned dreamed of his dead mother coming back to life but once he realised she never would, he came up with a way to bring memories of her back to life. He snuck out to the school kitchen and made his first pie and, comforted by the pie’s scent, went on to become a pie maker.

Ned is helping Chuck set up her beehives on the roof. She dreams of expanding but Ned is content to keep it on just the one rooftop. He wonders why Chuck needs so much honey and she says she has a surprise for him. Ned isn’t thrilled about surprises. Chuck’s surprise is cupcake pans, so that she can make cupcake-pies but Ned isn’t thrilled as he prefers to stick with his traditional pies.

Ned’s imagination is playing tricks on him as he watches Chuck sleep. She appears to wakes up and stumble against Ned, but doesn’t die. They start to kiss and Chuck takes off her clothes and then her skin to reveal that she is really Olive. Ned wakes up from his dream to find Chuck watching him.

At the Pie Hole, Ned begins to talk to Emerson about his dream but he isn’t particularly interested. Meanwhile, Olive confesses to Chuck that she kissed Ned for a second when he rescued her.

It’s Halloween and farrier Lucas Shoemaker is working in his stable when a ghostly horseman, riding a flame-spitting horse, tramples him to death.

At the Pie Hole Chuck is putting up Halloween decorations, despite Olive's insistence that Ned hates Halloween with a passion. With Olive still delivering Chuck’s homeopathic baked pies, Chuck wants to know what Olive has actually told her Aunts about her. Olive still assumes that Chuck has simply faked her death, and Chuck is relieved that she doesn’t suspect what really happened. Ned comes in and is taken aback by the Halloween decorations.

Olive plays coy about exactly what she has told, before hearing about the death of Lucas Shoemaker. Olive immediately goes to her safe deposit box and takes out the money to hire Emerson to investigate Shoemaker’s death, believing he was murdered. It turns out Olive used to be a jockey and competed against the murdered man.

While Chuck makes mood enhancing pies for her aunts Lily and Vivian, Ned comes in covered with bee stings. Knowing that Chuck misses making honey in her former life, Ned has set up beehives on the rooftop for her.

Now that Olive knows Chuck's real identity, she ponders on how to expose her until a messenger pigeon crashes into the window of The Pie Hole and is accidentally brought back from the dead by Ned. In a bizarre chain of events, the group sees a crop duster plane crash into The Broadview Apartment complex and private investigator Emerson Cod follows the ambulance in hopes of reward money. Ned, Emerson and Chuck then begin to unravel the mystery of what happened to the pilot and try to determine whether or not the pilot had committed suicide.
