Chuck Versus the Tic Tac

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Casey carries out a side mission for his old commanding officer James Keller that leads to him committing treason. When Chuck learns the dark truth about Col. Keller, he and Sarah set out to break Casey out of jail and clear his name. Meanwhile, Awesome’s plan to keep Ellie out of danger gets more difficult when she gets her dream fellowship.

Our Take

A rare Casey-centered hour, and Adam Baldwin makes the most of it, giving us the gruff killer’s softer backstory without turning him into a sap. The jailbreak moves fast and the Keller twist lands hard. The Ellie subplot drags a bit by comparison, but this is still one of the season’s stronger episodes and worth your time.
