Pushing Daisies/Recap/S1 E4 Pigeon

The Past
Digby rejoins Ned at Boarding School, seemingly aware that he cannot touch his beloved master. Still, the companionship cheers Ned immensely.

The Present
Two fliers crash-land near the Pie Hole almost simultaneously: a carrier pigeon flies into the Pie Hole's window, and a small plane flies into the apartment building opposite. The carrier pigeon is accidentally revived by Ned, but the apartment's occupant needs no such help; and, in fact, instantly finds himself in Ned's bad books by hitting on Chuck.

Tropes

 * Alone with the Psycho
 * Falling Into His Arms: Played with. It isn't Ned's arms Chuck falls into--in fact, he must deliberately let her fall--a source of angst to him for the rest of the episode.
 * Instant Messenger Pigeon
 * They Might Be Giants
