Now that Chuck is a proper spy, an actual agent and not just an asset, he has to take on the responsibilities of a spy. The parallel drawn between Sarah's reaction when she first showed up to meet with Chuck in the premiere so long ago and Chuck's own reaction when he discovered he would have to do the same thing was beautiful. Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) had clearly become so immune to the process that she was likely terribly surprised to find out how different Chuck was, and how differently he made her think.
I should rewatch the first season and see where and how Sarah changes because of the influence Chuck has on her. It's a far less obvious change that the one Casey (Adam Baldwin) went through.
Chuck, on the other hand, had no delusions about how difficult it would be. And he wanted to let his asset go - not the first time he had done such a thing, as he had previously allowed Jill to escape because of his feeling. But now, Chuck knows he has a job to do, and regardless of whether something is right in his heart or not, when you are a spy, you have to do what you have to do for the government and for the greater good. Even if it slowly destroys your soul.
But despite my fear for Chuck's soul, I still laughed my way through this episode - Casey! Oh how well they use Adam Baldwin. How wonderful that he gets to write off going to Weap-Con this year because he's doing it for work! And Lester (Vik Sahay) and Jeff (Scott Krinsky) competing to see who can stalk Hannah (Kristin Kreuk ) the best for Morgan (Joshua Gomez) was brilliant, particularly when all their work was for not the moment Morgan realized that Chuck was keeping secrets from him. What is a beautiful woman when your best friend is lying to you?
So is Chuck becoming evil? And are Morgan and Ellie (Sarah Lancster) going to save him from this evil, or are they going to get themselves in real trouble when they start to investigate?
