Here's a brief rundown of the episode, along with a picture of Mays from it:

A plane crash into an apartment building leaves the trio with a case: did the pilot commit suicide? Meanwhile, Chuck (Anna Friel) finds herself drawn to the man who appears to be the sole survivor (guest star Dash Mihok), much to Ned's distress. Also, Olive takes a wounded messenger pigeon to Vivian and Lily for help.

Are you familiar with the show Big Love on HBO? It's based around a polygamist Mormon and his wives.

Why do we bring this up? Because a recent feature on E! Online hinted that Pushing Daisies may be following the theme of this controversial, hit show. Sort of.

Here's a a Pushing Daisies spoiler from the article:

We hear episode five is a crossover episode with Big Love. Okay, not exactly, but it is about polygamy... The husband gets murdered, and the Daisies gang has to figure out which of his four wives dun it. Hilarious, no?

Hilarious, YES! We can't wait to watch.

We've already shown you a few Pushing Daisies pictures from this week's episode, "Dummy."

Now, here's a quick look at a few scenes from the upcoming hour. We can't wait...

What's our favorite part of Pushing Daisies so far?

Aside from the dynamite casting, unique look of the show and overall mix of romance, humor and mystery?

Gotta be the episode titles. The first offering - which is just a week away! - is called "Pie-lette." That's pure genius. Here's a look at the first eleven names:

• Pie-lette
• Dummy
• The Fun in Funeral
• Pigeon
• Girth
• Bitches
• Bitter Sweets
• Smell of Success
• Rival Darlings
• 12 Corpses
• Fruity Buddha

How can you not get excited about a series with episode titles such as these?!?

Based on the opening scene of the Pushing Daisies premiere, we know things don't go so well for Ned's dog, Digby.

Below, though, is a screen cap of Ned and his best friend before tragedy strikes.

Fast forward the Pie-lette, and Ned is a lot older. He's also fixated on a strawberry:

In earlier Pushing Daisies spoilers, we took you inside episode two.

Now, here are a couple pictures from the hour entitled "Dummy," courtesy of Pushing-Daisies.com.

Chuck (Anna Friel) and Ned (Lee Pace) are on the case!

Ned and Emerson (Chi McBride) appear to be visiting someone in a hospital.

Previous Pushing Daisies spoilers have taken you inside episodes two and three.

So it's time for episode four, "Pigeons." During this upcoming hour...

- Jayma Mays (from Heroes, pictured below) will guest star as Elsita, a woman who lives and works in a windmill.

- Emerson, Ned and Chuck (Anna Friel) take on a case of stolen jewelry, while also solving a murder/suicide. They also find out about a missing prisoner who may play a role further down the line.

Previously, our Pushing Daisies spoiler section took a close look at episode two, "Dummy."

Along the same lines, here are a few details on episode three of the upcoming season, entitled "The Fun in Funeral." Read on if you wish to learn more:

The aunts (played by Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene, pictured) will be folded back into the story during this hour. Here's how: Chuck follows through with the threat she made in the pilot by baking anti-depressants into her aunts' food (i.e. Ned's pies).

Olive (Kristin Chenoweth) delivers one of these treats to the sisters and stumbles upon Chuck's plan. This provides Ms. Snook with dirt on Chuck - because her aunts think she's dead - so the question becomes: will Olive use it against her nemesis to lure in Ned?

Also, Ned and Chuck speak to a dead man named Donald Funk, who worked at the same funeral parlor as Lawrence Schatz, the man they find out died one minute after Ned brought Chuck back to life.

Donald and Lawrence acted together in stealing flowers from graves and jewelry from the bodies of clients of the funeral home.
