"Chuck vs. the Truth"
The truth is out there... or was it? Tonight a poison expert (guest star Kevin Weisman) got to Chuck and his crew and exposed them all to some killer truth serum, causing Sarah and Casey to drop the spy act and tell it like it is. Sorta.
Unfortunately Ellie got poisoned as well, and Chuck put her welfare before everything and everyone else. He had one dose of the antidote, and he gave it to her. Not a very spy-like move, but certainly a 100 percent Chuck choice. With time running out, Chuck realized how to track down the bad guy and got the antidote for everyone, but not before he got a painful confession from Sarah: Their fake relationship has no chance of getting real.
And that makes things even more difficult for Chuck, who found someone who could be real, and right, for him.
The O.C alum Rachel Bilson breezed into Chuck's life with a broken phone and a deli sandwich named after him - what's not to love? Too bad he already has a "girlfriend" in Sarah. You can't blame Chuck for using the truth poison to find out where he stands. Too bad he didn't know she was trained to withstand the effects of the truth stuff. So was she lying or not?
And I know a number of you out there were thrilled to see Tang get shipped off to the pineapple farm. Any guesses as to who will be named his successor? Someone out there needs to fill the epaulets.... Could it be Morgan? Big Mike seemed to be getting pretty friendly there with him, dropping a big secret like that.
Now on to some of the highlights!
" Chuck's face while Awesome went through his bike analogy. The poor guy really looked horrified! We saw quite a bit of old-fashioned sensibilities in Chuck tonight, and that is really sweet.
" The picture of President Reagan at Casey's place. That is so him!
" Ellie's truth rant, especially the "porno shorts" line and the bit about Chuck's hair "making funny animal shapes."
" Casey admitting he wouldn't shoot Chuck and telling him that he respects Chuck for being a nice guy.
" Chuck's comment that Casey's chin was carved by Michelangelo.
" Sarah winning the "who is the better lock pick" argument.
" Chuck's comic-book knowledge allowing him to foil the poison expert.
" Shirtless Awesome! (And lingerie Sarah.) That was some serious fan service.
And the Britney song was a nice touch, I did not mind it at all.
