Chuck Versus the Wookiee

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Chuck faces an unusual task, when Sarah’s hot colleague from the CIA shows up requesting help for a mission. Morgan tries to get Chuck to set him up with Sarah’s new friend. When Chuck finds out that a million dollar diamond hidden in a Malibu mansion is being used to help fund terrorists, he must help these two beautiful women steal it back. Chuck is finding out that Sarah’s job of living a double life, which she is all too good at, is really preventing him from getting to know who she really is.

Our Take

This one leans hard on the spy fun and mostly gets away with it. The heist setup gives Zachary Levi plenty to play off, and the jealousy angle between Sarah and her CIA rival adds some real friction to the fake relationship. Morgan’s subplot is forgettable, but the episode moves quick enough that it doesn’t matter. Solid, fast entertainment worth your half hour.
