Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Afraid that his latest setback is driving a wedge between him and Sarah, Chuck resolves to prove himself by going on a dangerous mission with the overeager Agent Rye. Meanwhile, Morgan and Casey scramble as the “Buy Morons” attempt to uncover the true identity of Greta.
Our Take
This one leans hard on action over character, and the Agent Rye stuff gets a bit cartoonish before it wears out its welcome. Still, the Chuck and Sarah tension feels earned after recent episodes, and the Buy More subplot with Greta delivers some solid dumb laughs. A middling hour overall, but it moves fast enough that you won’t feel cheated.
