Chuck - Chuck vs the Beard, S03E09

There is something truly wonderful about having had a friend for 22 years, though it is strange that for all that time, except when Chuck (Zachary Levi) was at university, he and Morgan have rarely been apart, and have been to school and worked together through it all.

It is no surprise that Morgan suspected that something was amiss, and has been, between him and Chuck for such a long time. It was also hilarious for me when Morgan finally fired Chuck as his best friend since he had not been truly living it for the last few years...or at least, in the way that a best friend who was not a secret agent might.

For Chuck to finally be able to tell Morgan his secret, and for Morgan to listen, was again an act on Morgan's part of a best friend. He loves Chuck as a brother, and no matter how hurt he has been, he forgives Chuck because he cannot do otherwise. Of course, for him to find out that the reason his best friend has not been fulfilling all his obligations of late is because he's a spy is just plain cool. Of course that was going to be Morgan's reaction when he found out! It's the sort of thing we imagine could be happening, so to discover that it's real and possible, well, AWESOME! is the word that comes to mind.

Plus, you have to love Morgan for his bravery. Completely useless and untrained, he still refuses to let the bad guys blow up a CIA base on his watch.

And now Chuck can go back to being a great spy. He's not keeping secrets from his best friend anymore, which is wonderful, but even better for his ability to flash is the fact that his best friend got him to stop lying to himself. Chuck loves Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski), and he can't pretend that that isn't the case. He can possibly accept that she loves Shaw (Brandon Routh), but that does not negate his own affections.

But, regardless of the rest of it, I am super excited about next week's episode, which looks to be Casey (Adam Baldwin) centric. What secrets of Casey's past will we uncover? What do you think we will learn?
