Awfully sweet.

This episode begins with a shock. Olive is sick of hiding all these secrets and she'll either have to tell or do the next obvious thing--run off and, at least temporarily, join an order of nuns (which she does)! She doesn't at all fit in and by the end of the show she's still there.

The story begins with a rather nasty resurrection for his business with Emerson. A woman was stung to death by bees but apparently someone was paying them to be certain if this is really what occurred. Naturally foul play WAS involved and so they infiltrate the most logical place--the dead woman's old employer--a weird Honey business. And, since Chuck already has demonstrated her adoration of bees, she is the natural choice. Can they solve this weird and wacky case or will Chuck once again die? At the end of the show, you learn that Chuck's father is lurking about--and you see a view of his back as he's in The Pie Hole! Talk about a teaser and it (along with the recent knowledge of who Chuck's real mother is) is taking this weird show further in the direction of a soap-opera.

All in all, a LOT happens in this particular show--and a lot of cliffhangers are introduced as well. Clearly the producers are shaking up the show a bit, I assume, to try to create more buzz.
