If there is a word to describe this episode, it has to be "oversimplification." Simplifying in any of its forms is not the specialty of the Darlings, but if you think about it, it'll make sense. As such extreme personalities themselves, maybe the Darlings can only imagine things in the extreme. Black and white, right and wrong; even if they turn the world into absolutes, they are themselves some very complicated shades of grey.

I have the sneaking feeling that if Dirty Sexy Money were fated to carry on into many more seasons, we would be subjected to one failed Karen wedding per season. Fortunately or unfortunately, that won't be happen, but the show is certainly going for going out with a bang and one last hurrah. Or maybe that's one last "Holy crap." In the words of Mel Brooks, either way we're going to have a lot of fun!

Pushing Daisies is Cancelled - Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone Too?

E!'s Kristin Santos has a scoop!

"ABC has canceled Pushing Daisies, executive producer Bryan Fuller confirms to me exclusively.

According to reports, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money have also been canceled, but reps for both shows have declined to comment.

Is the pie-maker dead? Will we ever see him again? Read on for the exclusive inside dish straight from the top...

Bryan Fuller tells me, "[ABC president] Steve McPherson called me, and said 'We gave it the best shot we could.' "

According to Fuller, the facts are these: "It's very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger. But we are talking to DC Comics about doing comic books that will wrap up our storylines, and I already have a pitch for a movie ready to go."

We open exactly where everyone wants to start their day, in the shower with Simon and Karen. We're three minutes in and I already need to scrub my brain because Karen thinks the nozzles are useful. That sets the tone for the brain-breaking that we are in for this hour.

Last week's episode tied up some things and left us waiting for a shoe to drop on the others. This week, I was not disappointed (okay, on one count I was disappointed) and there are even more shoes up in the air. Some are going to hit the ground and make a glorious thud when they do.

Election day with the Darlings. You only wish that the most exciting part of your election day wasn't going to be standing in line at the polling place and waiting for your turn to step behind the curtain. Or, considering the things that happen to the Darlings on election day, maybe you don't. And that makes you, sir or madam, a sensible human being.

The abandonment issues exhibited by Nick manifest in a need to be loved -- and thus is his attraction to the Darlings. He is told that he is needed by them and it's nice to be needed. That maybe be me talking out of my derriere and using pop psychology to boot, but it sounds pretty accurate, right?

I watched tonight's episode with my mother, who is new to Dirty Sexy Money. Last week I filled her in on some of the overall plot basics and happenings of last season, and about halfway through this episode she turned to me and asked, "Is there any day in this family where there isn't a crisis?" No, mom. There isn't. If there was anything but all out insanity 24/7, they would not be the Darlings. Then again, she also pointed out that Nick and Lisa have the same haircut, so I'm not sure which of us takes this less seriously.

A flashy birthday party with lots of photographers, outrageous gifts that no sane person would every conceivably have a reason to give, and a visit by the New York police department. Ah yes, Dirty Sexy Money is back on the air and the Darlings in all of their unbelievable insanity are back in full force. But that's why we love them, right? Right?
