Chuck - Chuck vs the Role Models, S03E15

Now that Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) are official, their first mission is to learn how to be a couple and be great spies. Regardless of how utterly irritating Operation Bartowski must be, you know that General Beckman (Bonita Friedericy) has a soft spot for this most unconventional team, and she wants them to continue succeeding.

This episode contained the most interesting menagerie. From a tiger in the bedroom, to a snake in the jungle, to Morgan (Joshua Gomez) presenting himself as bait, the wild was loose and dangerous. But, never fear, the Ring is still very active. Although we hadn't seen them since Daniel Shaw's death, they've still been plotting, and Devon (Ryan McPartlin) and Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) are the centre of that plan. Their trip to Africa to save the world (or at least the sick people in Africa) was cut short when Devon came down with Malaria. Only, it wasn't malaria. Let's just hope that whatever the Ring infected him with was only an illusion to get him back to Burbank.

In Burbank, the adventure was much more goofy and fun, as Chuck and Sarah had to face off with their supposed mentors, Laura and Craig Turner (Swoosie Kurtz and Fred Willard). 30 years in the business is not easy on a young, idealistic couple, revisiting the idea that maybe Chuck and Sarah should just run, but who wants that?

So, with 4 episodes left in the season, we are returning to a Ring-centric plotline. I just hope that Dr. SuperFantastic white person and his gorgeous and lovely wife can escape the line of fire Chuck and the Ring are putting them into. Thoughts?
