Were you wondering why Chuck allowed herself to be so selfishly annoying on the occasions Ned brought the morgue residents back to life? All that quizzing them on their last wishes and stuff is basically not cool, especially since going past the sixty-second time limit would result in someone else"s death, right? But see, as yet, Ned has not clued Chuck in on that one small point. As a matter of fact, he"s still sort of lying to her about it, even now as she smooches him through a sheet of plastic wrap. Poor Olive, a witness to said smooch, shares her unhappiness with a new Pie Hole patron, Alfredo, erstwhile traveling herbal antidepressant salesman. Alfredo -- as any man but Ned would be -- is charmed by Olive"s Chuck-inspired jealous rage. Leave them on screen together for a minute longer, and they will steal this show. Emerson"s not really feeling Chuck, either. He is still sick to death (ha!) of her butting in on their biz, and it"s making him hilariously bitchy. When they all meet up at the morgue to get the current dead-guy scoop, the GENIUS coroner actually gets some lines. That thrill is quickly forgotten when Emerson reveals that their new client is the brother of the funeral director, Lawrence Schatz, who died in the first episode as a result of Chuck re-living. Lawrence"s brother, Louis, has hired Emerson to find out who killed the fat man. Since they already know how Lawrence died, Emerson really wants Ned to wake Lawrence up to discover where he hid all the stuff he stole off the bodies in his funeral home. Ned is reluctant, but Chuck wants to talk to Lawrence, also to thank him for dying in her place and all. She"s upset about the one-minute death exchange program Ned has going, and mad that he kept it from her. So, off to the funeral home they go, where they are confronted with Louis Schatz, twin brother of the dead man. He thinks Lawrence was murdered by someone angry over their stolen heirlooms, and wants Emerson to find the stuff and find out who did it before they kill Louis, too. Ah, but when the trio wakes up Lawrence to get the goods, he claims that Louis was in on the stealing, too. While the gang is stewing over this, Louis goes and gets murdered (sort of) and stuffed into the Pie Hole freezer. Turns out, a dead-person relative, Wilford Woodruff (a Chinese-Southern-American), killed Louis (sort of) for stealing his family heirloom, a Civil War sword. He and Ned get into a Jedi battle in which Ned is ultimately triumphant, and as a result, the crew finds all the stolen goods. People, I know it barely makes sense. This shit is hard to explain. Yada yada, everyone learns a valuable lesson. Meanwhile, Aunts Lily and Vivian, preparing to go on their mermaid comeback tour, receive a delayed postcard from pre-death Chuck, mourn anew, and cancel their shows. Chuck uses some of Alfredo"s samples to bake an antidepressant pie for her aunts, which Olive delivers, unaware of who they are. Once inside their house, however, she puts two and two together.
