Well, what a treat to see Chuck's aunts back after missing from the second episode of "Pushing Daises". In this one, after Chuck bakes a pie for them with her special ingredient, Olive delivers it to their house and figures who their niece was/is when she talks to them but thinks Chuck faked her death. Meanwhile, Emerson leads Ned and Chuck to the man who died one minute after Chuck was brought back to life revealing to Chuck what happens if Ned doesn't touch the previous dead person again during that time limit. This dead person, Laurence Schatz, robbed the dead of their heirlooms and now many of their relatives are writing complaints against his brother and funeral co-owner, Louis. There's also a man who has a crush on Olive who sells medicine bottles that help people become happy...A charmingly whimsical episode of "Pushing Daises" that was almost as good as the pilot episode. Glad to see Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene won't be limited to one-shot appearances. Loved Emerson being stuck on that grate with Chuck comparing him to Pooh in "The Honey Tree" episode! Wonder what Olive is going to do with her info. Ned and Chuck are so cute together! Too bad about that "no touching" part, though! Can't wait for next week!
