Olive is assisting Ned at the Papen County Comfort Food Cook-Off, competing against Marianne Marie, Olive’s arch-nemesis (of Cook-Offs). Vivian decides to aid Olive in her desire for the pie maker with a few very subtle comments about Olive’s loveableness. In the search for the Colonel’s killer, Ned and Olive discover the Waffle Nazi’s connection to chicken plus manage to get the Pie Hole disqualified from the bake off for sabatoge.

Meanwhile, to uncover the identity of a new man in Lily’s life, Ned agrees to undead Chuck’s Dad and spend 30 seconds asking questions, then gives Chuck 30 seconds to talk with him. As Chuck’s 30 seconds come to an end, she realizes that she can’t let her Dad go and devises a way to trick Ned into thinking he was re-dead.  Now, wracked with guilt over the inevitable consequences of her decision, and unable to tell Ned, Chuck goes to Emerson for help in discovering who died so her father could live again.

At a cook off, chicken fried king Colonel Likken is, well, chicken fried. His widow needs his secret recipe to carry on the family empire, so Ned undeads the Colonel to retrieve it with a little help from Olive. Unfortunately, the secret recipe has disappeared and it will take more than 60 seconds to recite it from memory.

Meanwhile, Chuck ponders the consequences of undeading a loved one for more than the allotted 60 seconds.
