Ned spills a big secret.

The last two weeks of Pushing Daisies, it has certainly seemed like something big was right around the corner. Things had jus been too lovely and happy (you know, aside from all of the death and murder...) for too long. Olive and Chuck are the best of pals? Chuck and Emerson are even getting along? Chuck's crazy aunts are getting ready for a return to being the Darling Mermaid Darlings?

Clearly... something had to happen to stir that up.

The first time, it was an attempt on Ned & Emerson's lives at the hands of Napoleon LeNez. The words "death by scratch-n-sniff" sound pretty ridiculous, that's easy for me to admit. And yet, it's one of those things that Pushing Daisies can get away with and it doesn't seem all that ridiculous at all. Another thing I noticed while watching last week's episode is the fact that all of the characters on the show have great storybook names. Napoleon LeNez and Oscar Vibenious? How about Billy and Tilly Balsam? They sound like they are straight out of a fairy tale... something that makes Pushing Daisies all the more endearing each week.

So in two weeks, we have seen death by scratch n sniff and death by saltwater taffy... two fantastic episodes from a show that is more originally brilliant every single week.

But the most important occurrence of all is obviously the fact that Ned ended the Bitter Sweets episode by telling Chuck his biggest secret... that he is responsible for the death of her father. And while he was completely innocent in the occurrence, I'm fairly certain Chuck will have a hard time understanding his silence... so here's to hoping tha they can work it out and give themselves a couple of great self-hugs.
