Pushing Daisies, the quirky ABC comedy which looks like it is well-loved but nonetheless canceled after two incomplete seasons, will finally say goodbye on Saturday with the episode that star Kristin Chenoweth admitted will not give the series proper closure. According to published reports, the cliffhanger ending in the episode upset many fans so it was altogether deleted.
On "Kerplunk," the show's unintentional series finale, one-half of the Darling Mermaid Darlings' arch rivals The Aquadolls is killed. In an effort to find the culprit, the Darling Mermaid Darlings come out of retirement, with the help of Ned (Lee Pace) as manager and Olive (Chenoweth) as stylist. Since they still don't know that Chuck (Anna Friel) is still alive, she cannot participate in the case. On the episode, Olive also gets close to Sid, with whom she shares her experiences in gender discrimination, since he was a male synchronized swimmer and she attended Vassar on a jockey scholarship.
