Synopsis

Pushing Daisies Poll

Young Ned has been at boarding school for a year with no word from his father; finally, on Halloween Eve, he receives a postcard stating that his father has moved. Under guise of a bed sheet, young Ned goes trick or treating and sees his father with a new wife and children ... and has dreaded the holiday ever since.

But presently, Olive looks forward to Halloween as another day to
continually taunt Chuck with her newfound knowledge on her "death" ... until Olive finds out that a local blacksmith was trampled to death in a stable. She hires Emerson to investigate the incident, revealing her connection with the dead man: Olive is a former horse jockey and believes that the ghost of a former rider is hunting her down. When other jockeys from the last race that Olive competed in start turning up dead, will they be able to stop the "ghost rider" in time?
