At the Longburrow School for Boys, Young Ned dreamed of his dead mother coming back to life but once he realised she never would, he came up with a way to bring memories of her back to life. He snuck out to the school kitchen and made his first pie, and comforted by the pie’s scent, went on to become the Pie Maker.
Ned is helping Chuck set up her beehives on the roof. She dreams of expanding but Ned is content to keep it on just the one rooftop. He wonders why Chuck needs so much honey and she says she has a surprise for him. Ned isn’t thrilled about surprises. Chuck’s surprise is cupcake pans, so that she can make cupcake-pies but Ned isn’t trilled as he prefers to stick with his traditional pies.
Emerson receives a call from the mother of Anita Gray, who was a student of olfactory science expert Napoleon LeNez. LeNez was working on using smells to unleash memories, which had helped Anita to remember her dead grandmother through cigarette smoke. Together they created a self-help book, The Smell of Success, but before its release Anita was killed by a mysterious explosion.
Chuck, Emerson, and Ned go to the morgue to revive Anita’s corpse where she reveals that she was sniffing a ‘scratch-'n’-sniff patch’ of unfiltered cigarettes in the new book when the book exploded. Emerson suspects that someone was trying to kill LeNez.
The trio visit LeNez, who puts them through a decontamination chamber. He then examines their scents and notices an odour of death surrounding Chuck, believing it’s her perfume. Chuck hastily covers by agreeing with him. They explain that the scratch-‘n’-sniff patch was designed to explode and LeNez says that the publication of the book was brought forward.
Meanwhile, Olive visits Aunts Lily and Vivian to collect items for them to sell, and admire their mermaid gear. Admitting she’s a fan of the ‘Darling Mermaid Darlings’, she tries to get them interested in reviving their careers but finds a sweater belonging to Charlotte. Lily is more depressed then ever and tells her to take everything away.
