    Chuck is still reeling from the discovery that his ex-girlfriend Jill was a Fulcrum agent and goes on a mission to take his mind off of his shock. Casey gets a shock of his own when he finds out that his sensei Ty Bennett, who taught him everything he knows, is now one of the most wanted rogue agents. While on the search for Bennett, it becomes clear that Casey may be too emotionally involved to continue with the mission. Meanwhile, Devon's parents Honey and Woody make a surprise visit to help Ellie and Devon plan their wedding. At the Buy More, Emmett reinstates the employee of the month contest, but Morgan, Jeff and Lester have other plans. I love the starting scene with the whole of Caseys fighting, and then it goes to Emmett telling Casey what to do with Casey, I loved it. I love the scene with Chuck and Morgan talking about everything really, mostly about Jill though. I love the castle scenes, especially when Chuck wants to break and then casey uses his awesome sarcasm. i love the new mission, I love the way Chuck is watching over Casey and Sarah, and then Chuck locks Casey inside the place, I love the way it's the man from the backflash. I love the way Ellie comes in and wakes Chuckup and Chuck freaks out. i love the way the Aweomes comes to town, and are making plans for Devon and Ellie's wedding - I love anything to do with Devon, he is delicious. I love the way Casey isn't happy that he knows the man and has a go at Chuck, I love it when they clash heads type thing. I love the scene in the Buy More, where Emmett comes up with 'employee of the month' - awesome storyline! I love the Chuck and Sarah scene talking about Casey. I love the way Morgan is in the staff room making a plan about playing Emmett at his own game - genious, I love how awesome everything is. I love the mission Casey and Sarah needing Chuck, and he puts the phone down, hilarious. I love the way Bennett comes to the Buy More and Chuck freaks out. I love the way Chuck comes to Morgans recuse without him even realizing it. I love the way casey is pulled offf the case, I also love the way Casey reacts to Chuck and then the conversation with Casey and Sarah talking about chuck. I love the way Chuck feels like it is his fault - so cute. I love the scene where Emmett is having a go at Morgan, Lester and Jeff, and then Emmett makes a new rule up - I love it. I love the way Jeff flips out on a customer hilarous. I love the phone conversation between Casey and Chuck and then he users Chuck, great. I love the whole episode. I love the way chuck is trying to get out, and the dinner scene between the Awesomes. I love teh way Sarah comes to help Casey and then Chuck comes with the Nerd Herd car and of course gets taken. I love the fighting scene between Casey and Bennett, I love the way Chuck helps Casey win by making him mad.moreless

    After last weeks episode Chuck is a little down over Jill and wants some time away from the next mission, this involves Casey's old sensei Ty Bennett who's turned rouge and is recruiting his former students to help steal government secrets. Casey has to deal with his emotions and Chuck to stop Bennett.

    Back at the Buy More Emmett introduces 'Employee of the Month ' competition but Morgan, Jeff and Lester decide to start there own 'Worse Employee of the Month ' competition with funny results.

    The Awesome's are in town and are planning Devon and Ellie's wedding which Eliie is less than pleased about.

    Another great episode.moreless

    This episode is largely about moving on after a betrayal, Casey discovers that his sensei has turned to the dark side and has convinced several of his past trainees to go rogue. Chuck's not sure he wants another case and gets banished back to the Buy More, while Casey reveals that he has these things called "feelings" that can get in the way of his tough-guy act. Sarah mostly navigates their childlike emotions and tastes wedding food. Casey takes down his former sensei using nothing but his bare hands with Chuck words of wisdom. The Awesome's came to visit to start making plans for the wedding which Elle go into over drive.moreless

    This was another top notch Chuck episode. There were so many funny scenes, I couldn't help laughing out loud. The Employee of the Month plot at the Buy More was absolutely hilarious and the main plot with Casey's Sensei was the perfect vehicle for Casey's sarcastic put downs. The whole episode was uproarious from beginning to end. Even the Awesome parents were a great addition to the show - poor Ellie!

    What will happen next? I can't wait.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • On the DVD, the word "sensei" in this episode title is mispelled "sensai". Edit
    • Featured Music: "New Song" by Datarock (Pursuit of the intruder) "Shake Your Blood" by Probot (Casey fights Bennett) "Don't Worry" by Love As Laughter (Chuck and Ellie talk) Edit
    • At the beginning of the episode, when Ellie wakes Chuck up, she says the Awesomes took a redeye from Connecticut to surprise them. Airlines only operate redeyes, or overnight flights, flying west to east (i.e. from California to Connecticut) not the other way around. This is because of the time difference, gaining hours as you move into a western timezone. A flight from Boston to L.A. will take about six hours, but will arrive three hours after it left. In order for the Awesomes' flight to have arrived early (say 6AM) in the morning, it would have had to take off even earlier on the East Coast (say 3AM). Edit

    • Casey: Shut up! Sarah: Yeah, shut up, Chuck, you're making him mad. Chuck: Underneath that extremely terrifying exterior lies a man who deeply, deeply feels. You, you care. You care about us. You care about me. Admit it! You feel all warm and mushy about me! Go ahead, say it. You love me, John Casey. Casey: I'm gonna kill you. Chuck: Www...wait, wait, wait, wait! Hold on! No, not me! Him. Edit
    • Sarah: Chuck, does the Global Launch Agency mean anything to you? Chuck: GLA? Sure, they've sent probes to every planet except Pluto. Although Pluto's not officially a planet anymore, which really bums me out. Casey: It's true. Space camp is where all the cool kids go. Edit
    • Chuck: Yeah, well the thing is, Casey doesn't really have a calm center. It's more of an angry center. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Bruce Boxleitner, who plays Devon's father, also played the role of Alan Bradley alias Tron in the 1982 movie Tron. Chuck has the movie poster prominently on his wall. Edit
    • Casey: This from the agent that can't keep her chocolate out of Bartowski's peanut butter. Casey alludes to the classic advertising campaign for the Reese's chocolate peanut butter cups. Edit
    • Emmett: If it isn't Tweedledee, Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. Tweedledee and Tweedledum are the rather round twins from Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. In addition, Dumb and Dumber is the 1994 film starring Jim Carey about the cross-country adventures of two good-hearted but incredibly stupid friends. Edit
