Pigeon
As many gags about pigeons as the episode “Pigeon” makes, it also points out multiple times how humans really need to be careful about handling birds—particularly those who work with and/or frequently handle food people will ingest. Because Chuck’s meant to be dead, one of the biggest challenges she faces in Pushing Daisies’ earliest episodes is figuring out how best to help her aunts deal with her recent death, and she reasons that sending them her mood-altering pies is her best bet. But as the episode unfolds and she attempts to carry out her pie delivery plan, Pushing Daisies illustrates how pie-related schemes like Chuck’s always inadvertently end up backfiring and drawing far more attention than people want.
