According to TVGuide, Pushing Daisies is preparing for the show’s ninth episode to serve as the season finale, much like many of the programs being hit by the strike. “As we were scrambling to re-write [Episode 9],” creator Bryan Fuller said, “we added several elements that will put many balls into the air and hopefully encourage the audience to come back and see how they land.”

This just stinks. This week was lame enough without new Daisies, how bad when it’s gone for good in three weeks?
