You mean the guy who invented Missile Command commands actual missiles?
-Chuck
Chuck flashes on a nuclear terrorist at the Buy More, looking for Jeff. Chuck hangs out with Jeff to discover why he's being targeted. It turns out that Jeff holds the world record for the game Missile Command, devised by Morimoto, who hid in it the secret to control a satellite capable of starting World war III. When the terrorists get hold of the code, the only way to avoid disaster is to play the game to the end to find the kill screen.

A horrified Chuck comes up with the idea of using Jeff to reach the kill screen and the code.Casey: Who do you trust to bring down a rogue satellite more: some burned out loser playing a video game, or an Air Force ICBM?
- Conflict Ball: Chuck hanging out with Jeff is treated as threatening by Morgan and Lester, for... some reason. It's all fixed when Chuck needs Morgan's help getting Jeff to play.
- Girlfriend in Canada: Emmet Milbarge, the efficiency expert brought in to improve the Buy More, states with very little prompting that he has a girlfriend who works for the store's Ontario branch.
