You got some rise out of it, so the yeast did something. I think you went into the fridge too quick after mixing up the dough. If you're working out of a jar of yeast try mixing some warm water with a tsp of sugar and a tsp of yeast, you should see activity within 15 minutes. I've never had problems with dry yeast in a jar or the 500g commercial packs dying, and dry yeast is pretty hardy stuff; hard to kill unless you store it warm. If you're using the little packets, those I've had problems with.
Even if you're going to do a cold bulk ferment you should leave the dough at room temp (75 F) until you start to see some rise, that lets the yeast get going. Cooling things down too much too soon before the yeast has a chance to start reproducing and eating will just make them go dormant.
Oh, Nice looking pie!

Looking good. If I am making dough for that day it never hits the fridge. The second fermentation happens in my dough-mate tray on the counter. Yeast wise that Saf-Instant rapid rise works great, especially as suggested above some luke warm water and a little sugar within 5-10 minutes should see activity.
