Pushing Daisies scoop from E! Online’s latest spoiler chat is posted under the cut to protect our spoiler-phobes.

Francine in Washington, D.C.: Wow! That last episode of Pushing Daisies was fantastic! Swoosie Kurtz is Chuck’s mother? Really?
Yes, really. And as I teased in the last Vine show, we’re also going to find out that Chuck’s father is still in the picture. Can you hear Ned and Chuck’s hearts mending? Yeah, those two are so not done. I’m also told this knowledge of Chuck’s mama will put Olive in a verrry interesting predicament, as she has to decide whether or not to tell her. Really fantastic stuff coming up after the strike. (End it now, please?)
