Pushing Daisies Season 1: Disk 2:

Episode 4: Pigeon
This is the quirkiest episode yet of a very quirky television show. A one-armed escaped convict stowed away on a crop duster. A one-winged carrier pigeon that gets a replacement wing from a deceased parrot. A one-legged windmill owner and preservationist played by the cute redhead from Glee.
We learned the mettle of Olive and got to see her interact with Chucks's aunts whom she has now become quite fond of. Each of the four leads knows a little about that others that only they know and each in turn confronts that knowledge until most of it is out in the open.
This episode was full of action, not unlike Dummy but depended more on comedic timing which was pulled off quite well.

Episode 5: Girth
We got some insight into Ned's life, which we always do thanks to the wonderfully narrated flashbacks that begin each episode, but this time around we learn what became of the relationship between Ned and Ned's father after Ned's mother died and he had been shipped off to boarding school. We also learn why Ned doesn't like Halloween - see the first thing. It's very sweet that Ned ends up with Chuck's aunts who basically it's okay to feel the way he does about his dad because his dad was an asshole.
We also learn that in her life previous to working at the Pie Hole with Ned, Olive was an up and coming professional jockey until her career ended over the guilt of a fellow jockey who turns out not to be dead after all.

Episode 6:  Bitches
This time out our guest star was the super cool guy from Community. Hardly super cool as the polygamist dog breeder who appeared stabbed to death because he slipped on his own spilt coffee which had been poisoned with arsenic. I've got to hand it to this shoe, thus far it's very creative with enough whacky to keep me completely glued to the screen. Which is a good thing since much of the actual subject matter is really depressing, at least potentially.
The whole premise of the show is that the pie maker has been reunited with a childhood crush, the book smart caretaker, whom if he touches even once, even for the very briefest of moments, she will die. I guess this is the ultimate romantic tale, that the two have a love that transcends the traditional interpretations of the word to the point where the two will deny what they want most to prolong what they have. Sigh. (But the good kind of sigh.)
