With Ned’s special gift still unclear to Chuck, she seeks more answers to Ned’s ’special touch’.
Ned avoids answering her questions like “Why it is only one minute?” and “What happens after one minute?” as he fears that she will discover that he inadvertently killed his father when they were children as a result of him bringing his mother back from the dead.
Private Investigator Emerson Cod receives another strange death case at the Schatz Funeral Home where Ned brought Chuck back to life.
This time the are to investigate the death of the Funeral Director, who died as a result of Chuck staying alive for longer than one minute.
Chuck continues to question Ned about why this murder is different from the others and Ned, not wanting to keep anything from Chuck, tells her about the consequences of keeping someone alive for more than one minute.
Chuck realises that she is only alive because the funeral director died.
However, the dead person in question is Laurence Schatz, who had become the town’s most hated person after he was found to be stealing from dead bodies at his funeral home.
With Laurence’s life being threatened by distraught relatives prior to his murder, his brother Lewis Schatz hires Emerson Cod to solve the case.
