Synopsis

Pushing Daisies Poll

Emerson's latest case is a hit-and-run victim named Bernard Slaybeck, a safety specialist for the Dandy Lion, a revolutionary car that runs on dandelion seeds. Revived by Ned, Chuck interrupts to ask Bernard his last wishes, much to Emerson's chagrin; the victim asks them to tell his co-worker, Jeanine, that he loved her, and in his last seconds, he cryptically informs the detectives that he was killed by a crash-test dummy.

Without any real information from the victim, they break into the crash test facility to find clues. But when Jeanine attempts to lead the trio to a mysterious location, her car blows up. Will they be next?
