Pushing Daisies

Scheduled to appear in the fourth episode of Pushing Daisies’ second season is David Arquette, who was last seen on ABC’s In Case of Emergency, which the network canceled after 12 airings. David will play the character, Randy Mann, described as “socially awkward” but possesses a very special talent which forges a bond between him and the pie-maker.

The episode’s synopsis via Spoiler TV, after the jump…

Emerson’s investigation of Joe’s death leads to My Best Friend, Inc., a service that allows people to choose a “best friend” designed especially for them. Roommates Olive and Chuck go under cover as potential frescorts, complete with a secret incognito partners’ handshake, but a sudden forced proximity makes them question their recent living arrangements.

Joe’s roommate, Randy Mann, is a taxidermist who’s rather whimsical style unfortunately makes him a prime suspect. In order to get information from him, Ned invites Randy to a free cooking class at The Pie Hole, prompting an interesting personal revelation from Ned.

Meanwhile, Emerson and Calista (who is also a P.I.) have a falling out over Emerson’s pop-up book and the big secret it reveals.
