Warning: I’m keeping the guides right after the cut, in case some of this blog’s visitors don’t want to be spoiled of the story…

These are what we have so far and we’re going to update this in due time.

Episode 2. 01: Buzzzz!

When Ned wakes her, she tells him she had been committing corporate sabotage, which leads Chuck to going undercover as a salesgirl at Betty’s Bees where the young woman had worked.

Chuck has to hide when they get a surprising set of visitors to the Pie Hole.

Episode 2.02: Circus Circus

• A woman comes to Emerson and wants to hire him to find her runaway teenage daughter Nikki. Emerson, Ned and Chuck find out where Nicki had run away to and when they get there, they find the man she was supposed to have been with dead. In the minute Ned has him re-animated, he tells them that she had left him to be with a clown in the traveling circus. Ned and Emerson go visit the circus trying to find her, which lead them to the group of clowns. When they find them dead in the morgue, Ned has to reanimate one to find more information about Nikki.

• 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.

Fingers point at The Great Herrman’s assistant, but as Olive discovers, nothing is what it seems when it comes to magic. Ned also finds twin surprises of his own at the Conjurer’s Castle, surprises with a surprising connection to his past. Meanwhile, Pigby and Digby bond.

Episode 2:07: Robbing Hood

• A lawyer for the late Gustav Hoffer, inventor of the mechanized yarn-baller, among other things, suspects his employer’s death was not part of a robbery gone wrong but rather premeditated murder. He comes to Emerson for help solving the murder, bringing one of Emerson’s favorite things with him: bonus money. As Emerson, Chuck and Ned investigate, they discover that the recently deceased had a secret will, a cadre of fake-accented servants, and a very young trophy wife, all of whom had a motive to kill Hoffer. Trying to track down the secret will, Ned is faced with one of his least favorite things: a trophy room full of stuffed, mounted animal heads. Oh no… Meanwhile, a man from Chuck’s past stumbles upon her empty coffin and suspicions arise. Do Chuck’s only remaining living relatives have any answers for him?

Episode 2.08 Comfort Food

• At a cook off, chicken fried king Colonel Likken is, well, chicken fried. His widow needs his secret recipe to carry on the family empire, so Ned undeads the Colonel to retrieve it with a little help from Olive. Unfortunately, the secret recipe has disappeared and it will take more than 60 seconds to recite it from memory. Meanwhile, Chuck ponders the consequences of undeading a loved one for more than the allotted 60 seconds.

Episode 2.09 Light House

• During an epic rainstorm, Nora McQuoddy, Papen County Lighthouse keeper, is discovered dead - harpooned and left on the light so she would be noticed. As the Pie Holers watch news coverage of the murder, it is revealed that Nora’s husband, Merle, is the prime suspect. Merle McQuoddy set off on a fishing voyage 10 years ago and was shipwrecked for 9 years, 11 months and 5 days. Recently rescued and returned to his wife, Merle the castaway is having trouble reacclimating to his old life, instead haunting the caves by the lighthouse. Olive delights in telling the local legend to her easily-spooked cohorts, until she is faced with a rain-slicker-clad mysterious figure herself! Elliott McQuoddy, son of Merle and Nora, begs Emerson to take the case and prove that his father is innocent. When Emerson and Ned go to undead Nora, they’re greeted with a rather gruesome sight. Alas, Nora can only communicate via Morse code in her present state. Fortunately, Charles Charles taught Ned Morse code back in the day, so he can decipher what Nora taps out to help find her killer. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Chuck, Ned finds Charles Charles at the Pie Hole, later to his apartment to hide him. Also, Olive sings the adapted chorus to “Candle in the Wind”.
