Chuck Episode 4.15 Chuck vs. the Cat Squad

A mysterious narrator introduces his "Clandestine Attack Team," the C.A.T. Squad: Cold-Hearted Carina, Zondra the Bitch, Amy the Party Girl, and his pride and joy: Sarah Walker. Cut to a smiling Morgan, who has daydreamed the whole Charlie's Angel-style introduction based on what Chuck is telling him about Sarah's old CIA team of female super-spies. Chuck explains that he wants to invite some of Sarah's old friends to the wedding. Morgan hesitates because one of them, Carina, is an ex-lover, but he finally gives her contact info to Chuck.

Carina gets the invite via text message while kicking a bad guy's ass. She pauses to read it and snickers at the thought of Walker in a white dress. She calls Amy with the news, and they make plans to find Zondra. Then Carina delivers a final knockout kick to the thug's face. Back at home, Chuck surprises Sarah with the news that the C.A.T. Squad is coming. She is not pleased and tells him they should have talked about it first. She's worried that the C.A.T. Squad coming will open a Pandora's Box.

Chuck and Sarah hear a chopper outside, and a megaphone blaring "Sarah Walker!" They walk out, followed by Morgan. The three black-clad ex-C.A.T.'s drop from the chopper on ropes. Morgan sees Carina and shouts, "My ex!" Amy tells Sarah they heard she was getting married and that means girls' night out! Zondra informs Chuck he can expect Sarah back by noon the next day. Carina, circling Morgan, compliments him, telling him there's something different about him. Then they take Sarah - who is pleased to see them despite her reservations - and fly off.

Chuck wakes up to find Sarah in bed, fully dressed with a massive hangover. She gives a summary of her crazy LA/Vegas night out, and Chuck, encouraged, says it wasn't such a bad idea after all! Sarah explains the reason why there's bad blood between her and the C.A.T. Squad: she had found evidence of Zondra being a traitor and turned her in. Zondra subsequently cleared herself by passing a lie detector test, but the bad blood remained. She lets him know that the C.A.T. Squad is sleeping in their living room.

Morgan wakes up to find Carina naked in his bed. She tries to seduce him. He jumps out, throws on random clothes, and runs out of the room. Leaving the house, he finds Alex outside getting ready to knock. He tries to explain that Sarah's friends are visiting - "old hens" - but Carina, barely clad and decidedly not an "old hen," opens the front door and, with a sly smile, asks Morgan if he would make breakfast for them. Morgan introduces her to Alex. When Carina leaves, Alex smiles and tells a very nervous Morgan she trusts him, then leaves.

Over breakfast, Chuck tries to draw out spy stories from the former C.A.T. Squad members. Zondra bluntly responds him that they're all top secret. Carina continues to flirt with an antsy Morgan. Chuck tells a spy story that falls completely flat, causing Zondra to make a catty comment about Sarah's great "catch." They prepare to leave. As Carina heads to her car and beeps it open by remote, it explodes. As the group runs to her, she pulls a shard of the bomb out of her leg. Chuck flashes on it, linking the bomb to an Augusto Gaez.

At Castle, Beckman explains that Gaez is the arch-nemesis of the C.A.T. Squad and the leader of The Gentle Hand, a group of brutal killers. Beckman commands Sarah, against her wishes, to work with Amy and Zondra to capture Gaez in Rio during Carnival. Carina, injured, will monitor the mission from Castle. Casey and Chuck will shadow the C.A.T.s. Alone, Sarah explains to Chuck that she found the evidence implicating Zondra while on a mission pursuing Gaez. In Rio, Gaez receives a call with the good news: his plan to lure the C.A.T.s is working.

Before leaving for Rio, Chuck tells Sarah his plan to review the CIA files on C.A.T. and Gaez to see if the Intersect reveals anything about Zondra. In the control room, Zondra sees Sarah and confronts her, telling her to keep her hands off her stuff on the mission. Sarah starts to respond but Casey breaks them up. He assigns Morgan to assist Carina at Castle while he and Chuck are in Rio. When Morgan tells Casey he can't do that because Carina wants him, Casey scoffs and tells him he's babysitting her, end of story.

After everyone leaves, Carina tries to lure Morgan in, and asks if he's mad because she never called him back. He says no, he's just serious about Alex. Alex calls and Morgan suddenly remembers she's waiting at the Buy More. Morgan tries to leave, but Carina drags him back with her cane. Trapped, he answers the phone and, as Carina tickles his neck, tells Alex that he's been forced to babysit an injured agent. She's frustrated, but forgives him. As he sends her kisses, Beckman comes on the monitor and says there's a problem in Rio.

In Rio, the C.A.T.s descend on Gaez's Carnival party while Casey and Chuck monitor from a van. The C.A.T.s spot Gaez and pursue him. As they infiltrate his building, Carina and Morgan call Casey with an emergency message: NSA intercepted a call indicating that Gaez was setting a trap for the C.A.T.s. But it's too late. Entering an apparently empty room, the squad is suddenly surrounded by armed men, followed by Gaez himself, casually sipping a drink. He greets them, then tells them to drop their weapons or die.

With the C.A.T.s tied to chairs, Gaez tries to convince them to join him or die. Sarah secretly tries to cut her bonds while keeping Gaez talking. She accuses Zondra of being the mole. Zondra accuses Sarah of framing her. Gaez puts a gun to Sarah's head. She breaks free and, with a knife at his throat, insists he identify the mole. He's about to say, when Chuck, watching through a skylight, accidentally crashes through. Caught dangling by a rope, Chuck spins and hits all of the guards with tranq darts. Gaez escapes but is caught by Casey.

Beckman commends the team on a job well done, but Sarah is mad at Chuck for ruining her chance to find the traitor. Zondra asks Sarah to settle their differences old school, so they fight. While fighting, they talk and come to realize that neither of them could be the traitor. Meanwhile, Casey and Amy interview Gaez. Casey is distracted by Amy primping, but as he turns to her she blows a drugged powder in his face and, as Gaez laughs, Casey passes out.

As Sarah and Zondra suddenly realize Amy is the traitor, she descends on them, knocking out Zondra and threatening Sarah to not pursue her and Gaez, or she will target Chuck's family. At the Buy More, Morgan finally meets Alex, who sees a huge blot of lipstick on his collar. Morgan insists Carina put it there to frame him. Alex is no longer in a forgiving mood and stalks off. At Castle, Morgan confronts Carina, then starts to leave to tell Alex that he loves her. Amy and Gaez surprise both of them and knock them out.

Sarah calls Chuck in the deserted Buy More and warns him that Amy's the traitor and that she and Gaez are headed his way. Chuck hides in the aisles. Amy shouts to Chuck that they only want his keys in order to leave. Chuck disarms them using throwing stars made from CDs smashed in a waffle iron, then knocks Gaez out. Amy beats him down and starts to escape. Sarah, Carina and Zondra appear, Zondra flicks a whip around Amy's ankle, causing her to fall, and the three train their guns on her, Charlie's Angels-style.

With the real traitor revealed, Zondra and Sarah make heartfelt peace. Sarah invites Zondra and Carina to be bridesmaids (for real, unlike the armed-and-dangerous bridesmaids they've been as spy cover in the past.) They happily accept. At home, Sarah thanks Chuck for inviting the C.A.T. Squad to the engagement party, since it allowed her to finally make peace with Zondra, but asks him to stop trying to help her. He agrees and they go their engagement party.

At the engagement party, Morgan approaches Alex. She tells him that they're done, that she feels less than special and lied to. As she turns to leave, Morgan runs after her to explain that he only kept Carina a secret because he loves Alex so much, "for real real." As they hug, Carina comes to apologize to Alex, but Alex tells her there's no apology necessary, since Morgan loves her. Then Alex and Morgan kiss. Sarah thanks Ellie for the party, then asks her if she will be her maid of honor. Ellie, honored, accepts wholeheartedly.
