The final 3 episodes of Pushing Daisies will begin to air Saturday, May 30th at 10/9c over three consecutive Saturdays and today I will be reviewing the first of the three episodes.

*Review May Contain Spoilers*

There were so many special guests in this episode, some of which included, David Arquette, Constance Zimmer, George Segal, Willie Garson, and Wayne Wilderson. As usual, the pies displayed in the episode all looked scrumptious. I wonder if anyone in the cast is addicted to pies. Anyway, the introduction started out with Young Olive. This was an entertaining back story to the two men (thieves) from Olive’s past who ended up paying a visit to the Pie Hole.

This storyline eventually leads Olive, the two thieves, and Ned to Vivian and Lily’s. It was so exciting to see everyone together! Speaking of being together, Ned ends up declaring his “love” for Olive due to a certain situation that takes place prior to, then Olive debunks the situation, and yet near the end of episode, Ned is jealous of Olive when she touches David Arquette’s character. So the real question is, who does Ned want to spend the rest of his life with? Can he handle not being able to touch Chuck for the rest of his and her life? Will we get the answer in the final 2 episodes or will it play out in the comic books?

Getting to Chuck…she teams up with Emerson as they solve a mysterious death. Ned eventually tags along, once he gets over his identity issues. I wish there had more of a focus on his identity issues in past episodes. I feel like that could have really been a nice full storyline. I do not want to say anymore, but I definitely enjoyed this episode. It seemed like there was more drama than comedy, however I still very much enjoyed every bit of this episode. The set design was on point. Kristin Chenoweth gave a wonderful performance, a nice ballad to be exact. You will not be disappointed come May 30th.

Favorite Quotes:
Ned: Who needs a Superman? You’re my hero.

Emerson: This ain’t my milk and I ain’t dipping my paw in it.

Pushing Daisies The Complete Second Season will be available on DVD July 21, 2009.
