Pushing Daisies Spoiler Season 2 Episode 5
Didn’t read through this new spoiler properly as I’d still want to remain spoiler-free. I just grabbed this off PushingDaisies-TV which has been very vigilant and generous with spoilers.
It all comes after the cut…
“Dim Sum, Lose Some”
The episode is written by Davey Holmes and Lawrence Trilling will direct.
The episode opens at the Longborough School for Boys. It is a long weekend which means the school is mostly empty, except for the select few who have no home to go to. Ned and his school mates are playing a game of Roulette. With bets consisting of small coins, candies, and other odds-and-ends, all Young Ned has to wager is little chocolates from a box that he had snuck in when he arrived. As the wheel spins he finds a card. It’s contents reveal to Ned that the gift was from his late mother. He now realizes that he has wagered the most sentimental gift is his possession.
Emerson has been hired by Lai Di (pronounced like lady), whose husband, Bao, the chef of a chinese restaurant below Emerson’s office, has been murdered by an exploding water pipe. Now at the morgue, Emerson, Ned, and Chuck stare at the corpse, which has been impaled in the head by one of the pipes. Bao, now having been brought back, thinks he is still alive and that our team of detectives is going to kill him over his gambling debts. Bao runs for the door, but soon finds out he, along with the pipe in his head can’t fit, and he falls back, being touched by Ned.
We then met Mei, Bao’s daughter. Not having been very close to her father, she believes that his death was just an accident. The mod squad then becomes suspicious of her when they find out she was left 200 grand by Bao.
It seems that Bao was gambling for money to keep his restaurant alive. When he runs out he asks the other players to let him play on credit, which they agree, only with one condition. Mei would have to marry Shrimpboy’s (one of the player, a big, tattooed man) butt ugly cousin is Bao lost the next hand (which he does).
