Clearly we are just liking different things about the show, because that was actually my favorite episode so far! Even the rhyming narration didn't bother me. I think I liked it more than normal because the case they were investigating related to Olive, and I was just so happy she got a plotline that was *not* related to her excessive infatuation with Ned that I could even overlook the narration.
And the total silliness of this show continues to amuse. Olive was a jockey? Really? And the death-via-horse somehow seemed funny rather than horrifying to me, especially that scene where Chuch had to translate for the guy with the broken jaw.
I also liked getting all of Ned's angst about his dad. Poor Ned! So completely abandoned, in his adorable ghost costume. Though I liked the parallelism, with Chuck trick-or-treating as a ghost to her aunts.
And I found Olive smooshing Ned when he saved her surprisingly hot. I guess I'm now at the stage where ANYone smooshing Ned is hot, because I was also glad he reacted only with shock and returned to Chuck quick smart. Not only that, but he actually DROPPED her, which I thought was a little cold. But I'm with you--Ned smooshing anyone is hot.
The other thing I really liked about this episode was the parallel between Chuck and the basement boy. Maybe she just needs to get some horse bone implants and she can resume her life? :D (Not that I would seriously contemplate such a thing, of course--it would prevent her from wearing those absolutely gorgeous dresses she is always wearing, which I swear is about 1/3 of my pleasure in this show).
