This fatality and other curious happenings are all taking place at the Comfort Food Cook-off, which Ned and Olive are attending to represent the culinary skills of the Pie Hole. Much of the bitchiness between the contestants is very funny, but actually this isn’t the real meat the sandwich of this moveable feast. It’s what goes on away from the Cook-off that really puts the fat in the fire. Chuck admits this to Emerson and they return to the graveyard to find out who she indirectly killed! Actually he first has a brilliant rant about how breaking this rule always has consequences, and isn’t a ‘sometimes’ rule. When they get there they find the very dead Dwight Dixon, who had set himself up with a high-powered rifle to kill Chuck before mysteriously dropping dead. Chuck feels bad, and even hallucinates a conversation between herself and Dwight where they debate what happened, but he still ends up buried in Charles Charles’ grave. I won’t reveal all the silliness surrounding the death of Colonel Likkin, but my money was on the Waffle Nazi and I’m happy to admit I was entirely wrong. I’m now really curious to know where this all ends up going in the final four episodes, and if there is any ultimate resolution. Daisies was probably the show that least deserved to be axed, but ABC makes some curious choices at times. The next story up is The Legend of Merle McQuoddy, which I’ve been assured, has salt water running through its veins. 18 December 2008
