"Chuck Versus the Marlin"
This was, sadly, the last episode of Chuck produced before the strike. It seems like NBC is willing to hang onto it through the strike, so hopefully we'll have Chuck and Captain Awesome and Adam Baldwin back on our screens next fall.
This one centered around bugs planted at Buy More by some bad guys called the Fulcrum, who apparently only needed the bug's reciever to determine that Chuck is the Intersect. If they get the reciever, Chuck's cover will be blown, and he'll have to be hidden away in a government bunker somewhere, for, as Casey puts it "so long you'll forget what fresh air feels like." Thankfully, the good guys figure that out first, and hilariously take everything out of Buy More in order to find the receiver.
It turns out the receiver is in Big Mike's prized marlin that hangs on the wall of his office. It's the same Marlin that Jeff and Lester take during a drunken escapade into Buy More and then hide at Chuck's apartment -- which is then stolen by Morgan, who then hides it in the Wienerlicious freezer.
Meanwhile, Chuck is panicking because Captain Awesome just asked his permission to marry Ellie (which: awwww) and then entrusted him with the keeping of the enagement ring. Of course, in the process of emptying Buy More and the subsequent hijinks with the marlin, the ring ended up inside the fish, leaving Chuck desperate to find the ring, convienently taken by the Fulcrum agent who is after the Intersect.
Sarah and Casey chase after the Fulcrum agent (who gets the ring and reciever from the marlin at Wienerlicious) in order to preserve his life with his family and friends. The general orders Chuck to be taken away, even if the Fulcrum agent is apprehended, for the safety of the Intersect.
The episode culminates on top of a building, as the CIA prepares to take Chuck away and the Fulcrum agent closes in, only to get her ass kicked by Sarah in a dumpster. The ring is found, Big Mike getes his marlin back, Chuck gets the ring to Awesome, Ellie says yes, and Chuck stays home with his family. (But only, it seems, for a short time, if Casey's final sentence and the ominous music are anything to go by)
Other things I loved:
These last two episodes had a ton of Captain Awesome in them, which is...awesome. He's one of the funniest supporting characters on TV. I think my favorite line of his tonight was on the phone with Chuck, who is still trying to get the ring back: "I need the ring. This is NOT awesome."
When Chuck first flashed on the bug, they showed Foxborough, Massachusetts and a football stadium. At that point, I was hoping that the episode had something to do with blowing up the New England Patriots. Or maybe, that bug was how Belichek did all of his cheating this year. Hmm.....
How cute was that first scene between Awesome and Chuck? I loved that Awesome asked Chuck for permission to marry Ellie.
Morgan called Chuck his "life partner." Hee.
Awesome to Chuck, after the ring has been recovered: "I always knew you could handle my family jewels." Double hee.
