Finally! Some Pushing Daisies news! Here are some spoilers for the first 3 episodes of season 2. There are no dates yet, but at least we won’t be left wondering if there will be a season 2.  Although, according to TV.com Circus Circus will air on September 1, 2008.

Season 2 Episode 1

Olive has a breakdown and packs up to leave in the middle of the night. Fearing that she’ll spill some pretty big secrets, Aunt Lily whisks Olive
off to a nunnery in the country.

Season 2 Episode 2 : Circus Circus

We open with Young Ned at school, using his gift to revive some baby birds. Unfortunately, the side effect of his gift impacts the class project.

A woman named Georgeann Heaps hires Emerson Cod to find her missing daughter, Nikki. The investigation leads them to a circus, a man named Bryce von Deenis, mimes who aren’t talking, and a car full of dead clowns.

Ned and Chuck are still trying to find a way to be around each other, despite all that’s changed. It’s awkward, but they both want to start fresh.

In an attempt to be more independent, Chuck has moved into an apartment across the hall from Ned so they are no longer living together, but she still visits The Pie Hole regularly. As do her no-longer shut-in aunts, which means lots of jumping behind counters and darting through doors for Chuck.

Olive, still in the nunnery, decides perhaps she needs to stay a while longer and turn over a new leaf.

Season 2 Episode 3 : Bad Habits

We flash back to young Olive, age 9 years (20 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes), fresh off her first riding lesson and completely besotted with horses. She asks her parents for an Arabian, but her request is summarily dismissed. Exhibiting a tenacity still evident in the adult Olive, the young girl decides to dig a hole to the Middle East and find a horse herself. Part way into this endeavor, she discovers a fossilized dinosaur. Young Olive trades the priceless artifact for her heart’s desire - a white Arabian horse.

Back in present day, Sister Olive, still inhabiting the nunnery, digs for truffles with Pigby, her truffle-hunting sow. One of her “sisters” turns up dead in an apparent suicide, but Olive doesn’t believe that and hires Ned and Emerson to investigate. As it turns out, the deceased wasn’t quite as devout as she seemed. With a pair of eavesdropping, gossipy nuns tripping them up, Ned, Emerson, Chuck and Olive attempt to get to the bottom of the crime before the Vatican Police - aka the Pope’s 007s - arrive.

Meanwhile, Ned is concerned that Chuck is so intent on clearing up her past while Chuck ponders her purpose in the present.
