Recap / Chuck S 5 E 04 Chuck Vs The Business Trip

Chuck: Don't worry, buddy. Your name's not going to be on that list..
Sarah: Yeah, we're on it!
Casey: Yeah, leave it to the three friends you recently stabbed in the back.

Chuck and Sarah must stop an assassin after the Intersect at a Buy More convention. Jeff shows a new side to himself.

This episode provides examples of:

• Papa Wolf: Casey has not forgiven Morgan for dumping Alex. The only concession he makes to Morgan's Intersect problems is to limit his revenge to trolling his Star Wars rewatch, but he still threatens death if he approaches Alex again. Morgan earns his forgiveness by getting Alex to safety from the Viper and then leading the assassin away.
  Casey: [Casey gets a call from Morgan] I'm gonna rip your face off!
  Morgan: No. Shh. Casey, listen to me. We have the wrong person, okay? The real Viper is a lady and she's here - hunting us.
  Casey: [Looking at the monitor, and finding Viper] Northeast corner of the store. Get Alex to the broom closet! If you want to live, you're gonna take care of my daughter.
• Shout-Out: Morgan is using his assassin-dodging downtime to rewatch the favourite movies he's forgotten.
  Chuck: How's your memory, buddy? Do you remember Die Hard? Star Wars? Chewie? Yoda? "Yippee kai yay?"
  Morgan: Sorry, dude, no. It all kind of sounds like gibberish.
  Sarah: It is.
• Troll: The revenge Casey takes on Morgan. First he tells him Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is the best-loved Star Wars movie. After Morgan's watched that, Casey does something diabolical.
  Casey: I lied. Start with the originals. You loved those.
  Morgan: Really? Thanks, man.
  Casey: Oh hey, just so you know: Darth Vader - Luke's father. Leia's his sister.
  Morgan: [Glares]
  Casey: Still mad.
• You Have to Believe Me!: Morgan tries to reconcile with Alex, by explaining that his previous actions were caused by a CIA supercomputer in his brain. Shockingly, she doesn't believe him, which becomes a much bigger problem when he realises the Viper is stalking him through the store. Fortunately, Alex believes him when he sees her gun.
  Morgan: Listen to me. This is what is happening, okay? There is an elusive assassin and she is hunting me, okay?
  Alex: You are legitimately insane.
