It’s hard to believe I wasn’t always a fan of “Chuck.” I gave it a try in the first season, but the show wasn’t clicking for me. The whole concept of the Intersect just drove me crazy. As a fan of Sci-Fi things, I’m well aware of the literary device that is “pseudoscience,” but the Intersect and the “flashing” just irked me.

But then “Chuck” got renewed against all odds for a third season, and I fulfilled my promise to all the fans I would give it another go. And what do you know? I love it. And I loved this episode.

Probably the biggest event of the show was Morgan, Chuck’s best friend, finding out about Chuck’s spy life. I always loved their friendship, but as Chuck became more spy, Morgan was left in the dust. Keeping secrets drove the two life-long friends apart, and I’ve begun to miss their funny and dorky interactions. And after weeks of Morgan trying to find out the secret, we get a payoff. This wasn’t your average “I’m a secret agent” reveal for Morgan, either. He found out when they were both about to be tortured. This made for a far more excited and fulfilling reveal for the viewer.

Beyond that, the second biggest event to occur was the return of Jeffster, the wonderfully bizarre and 100% hilarious joining of Jeff and Lester in musical form. They did not disappoint with their gripping performance during the Buy More employee revolution. I loved the shots of the employees brandishing dart guns and taking up arms again the prospective buyers (they were actually spies, but the Buy More workers didn’t know that). Even though the show is primarily about Chuck and spying, I love the moments we get of the civilians and their lives. It’s a nice reminder that Chuck’s world isn’t always about his spy life.

Now that Morgan’s in the know, I have to wonder how he’ll handle keeping a big secret like that. If Awesome is any indication, Morgan will collapse like a folding chair. Captain Awesome is having a very hard time keeping up with his name. He is not being very awesome, bumbling with lies to Ellie. And now he’s freaking out and talking about going to Africa. Hopefully he and Ellie stick around, because I love them! Ellie and Chuck have the sweetest brother/sister relationship. Meanwhile Awesome is funny and is not unpleasant to look at. They probably will, but I have a feeling Ellie will soon learn about Chuck’s secret profession, now that Awesome and Morgan both know and both will try keep up Chuck’s lies. With the Ring closing in on Chuck’s real life, everyone he cares about is in danger.
