Synopsis | Pushing Daisies Poll |
| Young Ned tests his powers in the science lab at his boarding school and confirms that death has a grace period of one minute. He vowed never to "bring the dead back to life for more than a minute. Until he did it again." Chuck is blissfully unaware of that consequence ... until Ned goes to the morgue and sees who he's to revive: the funeral director from Coeur d'Coeurs. Ned finally tells Chuck he caused the funeral director's death by letting her live; she is upset to realize that "the life she was living was not her own". Since the funeral director was exposed as a graverobber shortly before Ned's arrival, his twin brother hires Emerson to investigate his death due to thousands of death threats from angry customers whose dead relatives' heirlooms were stolen. When the twin brother shows up dead in The Pie Hole's refrigerator, the trio have to step up the efforts to find the stash of missing heirlooms before the killer finds them ... Meanwhile, the aunts are about to embark on a comeback tour, but when they receive a post-dated postcard that Chuck had sent from her cruise before she died, they sink into gloom again and cancel the tour. When Chuck hears about this, she bakes anti-depressants into pies and has it sent to them. However, since the aunts reside several towns away, the delivery boy refuses to go the distance so Olive delivers the pie, and finds out that her romantic rival is their niece – alive and well. |

Ned wanted to be a Jedi Knight as a boy. 5. | 1. Olive tells the aunts that she first saw them at the Callum County State Fair: is this a reference to actor Callum Blue, who starred in Mr. Fuller's previous show, "Dead Like Me"? 2. If Ned was unable to touch Lawrence before his minute was up, would Chuck's life be "regifted", regardless of the fact that she may possibly be immortal like Digby? In other words, would Random Proximity have picked someone else since she has already been revived? 3. How did Chuck get into the locked funeral home when she appeared in the basement? 4. 5. |
