Chuck Episode 5.10 Chuck Versus Bo

We find Casey and Morgan somewhere in the middle of the desert with a crashed car they've staged with an out-cold Jeff and Lester as passengers. Along with empty novelty drink glasses that would appear to a casual observer to have lead to a post drunken Vegas weekend crash, Casey pours a bag of casino chips into the car for added detail. Morgan tells Casey he's glad to be spending time with him. But he doesn't understand how staging an accident is going to make Jeff and Lester forget about discovering Castle. Casey sprays Jeff and Lester with a gas and tells Morgan it's X-13 gas that will make them forget the last 24 hours.

Chuck and Sarah are in bed sleeping when Sarah is startled awake by a noise at the front door. She immediately gets out of bed and grabs her gun. She goes to the front door and opens it to discover the noise was merely the paper being delivered. Just then, Chuck gets out of bed, and Sarah bluntly tells him, "I want to quit spying." Chuck is taken aback and wants to talk about it. She tells him she's been up all night thinking about their future. She's just not sure if their line of work is in line with that future. She's tired of being captured all the time, getting shot at and making new enemies everyday. She concedes that she's a spy, and she thought that's all she could ever be; but she's been thinking about how to rebrand Carmichael Industries. Chuck is intrigued but wonders how they would shift their spy business model. Sarah thinks they could handle cyber terrorism combining Chuck's cyber skills with her spy skills. Use keyboards instead of guns. Chuck feels the timing is right considering they don't have any ongoing missions. Chuck wonders how they'll pitch it to Casey.

Morgan enters the Buy More and is greeted by Big Mike who hands him a package that arrived for him. He opens to find an iPhone he lost during his douchey Intersect period. He notices there's a video message on it. Cut to Castle where Morgan is playing the video for the team. The video features the frosted tips Morgan a little panicked and very drunk. It's a message for Chuck in case something went wrong. Morgan recounts how he was partying and a man came up to him with a pair of Intersect glasses and grabbed him. After "kicking ass per usual" Morgan grabbed the glasses and stashed them in a vault. But because he was partying so much he doesn't remember where. Chuck wonders where the video was shot, but Morgan doesn't remember that either. Casey then says, "I guess were not retired after all." Sarah thinks it doesn't change their plans; they just have to complete one last mission. Chuck, Casey and Morgan all tell her things never turn out well when there's "one last mission."

Chuck, Sarah, Casey and Morgan are reviewing photos and texts on Morgan's recovered iPhone trying to get clues about where it was shot. There are photos of Morgan snowboarding and texts from someone named "BD." Morgan doesn't recall any of it. They decide to send a text to the mysterious "BD" in the hopes of getting a clue. In the meantime, Chuck enlists the help of Ellie because she's a "brain scientist." Chuck thinks she can hypnotize Morgan and get some answers. Ellie is doubtful but agrees to give it a try. Morgan is also skeptical because he doesn't think his brain can be hypnotized.

Back in the desert, Jeff and Lester awaken in their crashed car. They both can't remember how they got there. Lester thinks they went to Vegas because Jeff is wearing a Las Vegas hat. But Jeff is skeptical especially since there's no alcohol on their breath. They both agree something strange is happening and faintly remember their last memory being something about the Buy More. They decide to head back to the Buy More for answers. They get out of the car and head to the highway. They stand on the edge of the road and stick out their thumbs in the hope of hitchhiking back to civilization.

Meanwhile, Chuck is outside of Ellie's apartment with Sarah and tells her Morgan might actually be hypnotized. Sarah tells him she's been looking at new above-ground office space for when they finally make their move from Castle. Chuck wonders if it'll ever happen because it feels like the Intersect has a way of always finding them. Casey exits his apartment, and Sarah tells him the new office space she's looking at was once occupied by Ronald Reagan. Casey's interest is immediately piqued, but before he can enjoy the moment, Ellie emerges from the apartment and tells them she thinks she's made progress with Morgan. Once inside, they witness Morgan repeatedly telling Ellie how hot she is, and he asks her to the prom. Ellie concedes the hypnotism may have regressed too far.

At the Buy More information counter, Morgan asks Chuck if he said anything stupid during the hypnotism. Chuck answers no with a slight giggle. A tall man with a blender comes up to the counter and asks Morgan if he's the manager because he'd like to return the blender. Morgan asks him for a receipt, and out of nowhere, the man asks him if he's in a serious relationship. Morgan is a little confused by the question but answers yes, he is. The man then asks Morgan, "Do you love her?" Morgan tells him that question is a little personal for just a blender return. Just then Alex shows up calling the blender man Dale and shoves him. She apologizes to Morgan, but he asks who Dale is. She tells him he's nobody, just a guy she went out with a couple of times when they broke up. Offended by her dismissal, Dale speaks up and wonders how he could be nobody when she told him he "filled her body with rainbows."

Morgan is mortified and hopes Dale's referring to "finger painting." Alex tells him there's nothing between them and that she dated him only a few times after they broke up because she needed to act out physically. Morgan thinks he's going to get sick. Just then, Morgan gets a return text from the mysterious "BD." Morgan tells Alex they can discuss Dale later, and he runs off with Chuck and Casey. Meanwhile, Jeff and Lester were watching them the whole time trying to figure out what's going on. Back in Castle, Morgan is disgusted and talks with Sarah about Alex. She tells him she knows it's hard, but he did dump her via text. He understands, but he's mad because while she was out there "spreading her rainbows" he was true blue. He needs to know every detail about what happened. Chuck tells him knowing all the details probably won't make him feel better.

Meanwhile Sarah has narrowed in on where the return text from "BD" came from. It's from a resort called Golden Peak in Vail, Colorado. The team prepares to leave for Vail, and Chuck reminds Morgan he's going to have to look the way he did that wild weekend. He's going to have to get his hair frosted again. Once in Vail, Chuck and Morgan enter a packed bar while Casey and Sarah monitor the situation nearby. Morgan walks around the bar hoping for something to stir his memory. Suddenly a female voice calls out his name. Morgan and Chuck turn around and are shocked to find Bo Derek calling out Morgan's name. "BD" is actually Bo Derek! Derek walks up to Morgan and passionately kisses him while Chuck looks on aghast.

Bo tells Morgan she thought she'd hear from him sooner and calls him a "bad boy." Morgan is still stunned that he just kissed Bo Derek, so Sarah reminds him via earpiece to act like the douche that just made out with Bo Derek. Chuck introduces himself and tells her he's a big fan of "10" and asks how she knows Morgan. She tells him she doesn't like to kiss and tell but that Morgan rocked her world one magical night in November. The whole team responds with disbelief. Morgan, still fishing for answers, asks Bo how he went about rocking her world. He asks what exactly happened that night because he's a little fuzzy. Bo tells him he was indeed a little out of hand, so she leads him to the bar's bulletin board of photos where Morgan is depicted in various compromising positions. Elsewhere in the bar, it's revealed Jeff and Lester have followed the team to Vail and are watching the bizarre Bo Derek events.

At the bulletin board, Bo tells Morgan he wouldn't stop telling everyone how he'd saved the world and then how afterwards they went to her room. Via earpiece, Sarah wonders if the Intersect glasses are stashed in a vault in Bo's room. She tells Morgan he needs to get in there. Jeff and Lester overhear the conversation, and to make sure nothing is forgotten, Lester writes, "vault" on his arm. Morgan asks Bo if she's in the same room where he rocked her world. She tells him to follow her. In her room, Bo starts to take Morgan's pants off. He tries to find out more specifics about their night together. She agrees, but only if he tells her what he's done since they last saw each other. She tells him she first noticed him when he was getting a lap dance from that "dirty whore Jaclyn Smith."

Meanwhile, Sarah and Casey are asking around the bar trying to get any clues as to what happened when Morgan was in Vail. They're not having much luck when Casey spots Jeff and Lester trying to be incognito. Casey walks away to handle the Jeffster situation, and a stoner type comes up to Sarah wondering if she was the one asking about Morgan. He tells her he gave Morgan the "most whacked tattoo ever." Sarah relays the tattoo information to Chuck who then tells Morgan to leave Bo and come outside.

Back at the bar, Casey grabs Jeff and Lester. He sprays them with X-13 so they forget everything they've seen and leads them away. Morgan is now outside with Chuck who informs him he's got a tattoo. Chuck grabs Morgan's lower lip, exposing a tattoo that reads "Don't trust Bo Derek." Just then Bo creeps up behind Chuck and points a gun to his head. She tells Morgan that's not the strangest place a man has tattooed her name. She demands they take her to the Intersect glasses. Sarah arrives, comes up behind Bo and pistol-whips her.

Back in the desert, Jeff and Lester once again find themselves waking up in the same crashed car with no idea of how they got there. Jeff notices he wrote "vault" and "Bo Derek" on his arm. We cut to Bo Derek who's in the Castle interrogation room handcuffed with Chuck and Morgan asking questions. Chuck asks what really happened with Morgan that night in Vail. Morgan's really curious to know how she got involved with the Intersect. She tells them acting isn't the only line of work she was able to pickup because of her good looks. She admits she's a spy and her boss had received word that someone was running around the intelligence community bragging about the Intersect. They were already looking for that person when Morgan surfaced so publicly in Vail. Morgan denies it because he's pretty sure he was keeping a low profile.

We cut to a flashback sequence where Morgan is indeed announcing to everyone in the Vail bar the he's "the most powerful weapon in the world" and engaging in general debauchery. He's putting the moves on two women when Bo Derek walks in. Morgan shoos them away and ends up going back to Bo's room. Morgan can't believe he really hooked up with her; she confirms that it happened but that it was only physical. After she was done with him, she drugged him and called her boss. We flashback again and Morgan is tied up on Derek's bed regaining consciousness. There's an unseen voice wondering out loud if this is the kind of person they're putting the Intersect into these days. "Are you an intern?" the voice asks.

Morgan tells the voice to take it back. The male voice tells Morgan to shut up. We now see the voice coming from a shadowed man sitting in the corner of the room. He tells Morgan he's spent a lot of time and money getting the Intersect glasses. He hasn't used them yet because he hears there are side effects. Morgan tells him he made a big mistake bringing him here and that he's going to arrest him for treason. The man says he doesn't think so because he won't remember any of it because he'll use X-13 (the same memory lapsing gas Casey used on Jeff and Lester).

The man tells Morgan as soon as he falls asleep he won't remember anything. And he's so confidant of that he introduces himself. "Nice to meet you," the man says. "My name is Nicolas Quinn and I'm about to become the Intersect." Quinn starts to spray Morgan with the X-13 gas when Morgan activates the Intersect, frees himself and takes out Quinn and his men. While Quinn is on the ground, he yells to Bo, "Give me the glasses!" She throws them towards Quinn, but Morgan intercepts them and flees the room into the cold night. Back in the present, Chuck is explaining to Sarah and Casey that Bo works for Nicolas Quinn. Chuck tells them Quinn has an independent spy agency that has a list of clientele that includes Middle Eastern terrorists and even Fulcrum, The Ring and Volkoff Industries. Sarah points out they've put some of his biggest clients behind bars. That's probably why Quinn has been chasing the Intersect for years.

The team is in Castle, and the mystery of where Morgan put the Intersect glasses still eludes them. Morgan still can't remember, but just then he notices Alex coming into the store on the security monitors. Before leaving to go upstairs, he tells everyone he's decided to come clean and tell Alex about Bo. Everyone else thinks it's a bad idea. The truth will only upset her. Cut to Morgan telling Alex anyway. But she doesn't believe him because the story sounds so outlandish. Just then Jeff and Lester spot Morgan talking to Alex. Jeff is determined to confront Morgan, but Lester stops him. He thinks they're being sabotaged, and they should record anything they encounter "on their person." Jeff agrees.

Morgan tells Alex he thinks it's a better idea if neither of them knows the details of their respective dalliances. Morgan figures they're even, and they should move forward. Alex agrees. Mike walks in and asks Morgan if he has the master key because he checked the manager's vault and it wasn't there. It's then Morgan remembers that when he ran away from Quinn and Bo carrying the Intersect glasses, he stumbled upon a Buy More in Vail. Back at Castle, the team finds a Buy More in Vail, and Morgan deduces he probably put the glasses in the manager's vault in that location.

The team arrives at the Vail Buy More dressed as security consultants sent by corporate headquarters to check their security. Just as they walk in, Morgan is enthusiastically greeted by a worker who recognizes him and tells him he just tweeted about his return. When the team hears that, they know it's only a matter of time before Quinn gets wind of their location. They have to hurry. They ask the person at the customer service desk (a female version of Lester) for the manager, and she directs them to "Big Michelle." Meanwhile, Jeff and Lester, disguised in skiwear, enter the Buy More, hot on the trail of the team.

The team is talking to Big Michelle, and she doesn't understand why they were sent to check security especially since their security is rock solid. Chuck asks to see the manager's vault. Sarah tells Casey that this would be the hardest it would ever get in the future working as security consultants. The ever-cautious Casey tells everyone to keep their eyes open. Michelle leads them into her office and the manager's vault. Before she opens it, she tells them she needs to call corporate. Just before she can pick up the phone, Sarah shoots her with a dart. Once inside the manager's vault, they discover the glasses aren't there.

Not sure what to do next, the team is exiting the Buy More when Chuck notices the ad for the video game "Gunz 'N Gold." He realizes the glasses may very well be in the giant cardboard depiction of a vault. They look inside and sure enough they find the glasses. They grab them and prepare to leave when Jeff and Lester unintentionally reveal themselves. Jeff and Lester yell at the team and tell them they're not going to forget they're spies this time because they wrote it on their arms. All of a sudden, automatic gunfire erupts. It's Quinn with his team. He tells Chuck he's ex-CIA and was supposed to get the Intersect first. But Larkin stole it for Chuck, so Quinn went back in the field but was captured and tortured for 378 days. He was dismissed shortly after that. All because he didn't have the Intersect. Morgan shouts out and tells him he doesn't want it because it doesn't work right. Quinn doesn't care and reminds Chuck he would have never landed a wife like Sarah without the Intersect.

Tired of talking, Quinn pulls out a gun and starts shooting. Jeff and Lester run for cover. They're nearly killed by crossfire numerous times. Quinn's team is eventually eliminated, and Quinn runs away. Casey starts to go after him, but Chuck stops him. He tells Casey that Quinn didn't get the Intersect; they eliminated his team and their mission is over. They can call Beckman and the authorities and move on. Casey reluctantly agrees. Jeff and Lester emerge from hiding and tell the team they want to forget everything they just saw. Jeff admits the whole incident has left him scarred.

Once again we open on Jeff and Lester in the desert and in the wrecked car. But this time they notice "Nothing under Buy More. They are NOT spies. I love myself" written on Jeff's arm. They assume they were wrong the whole time. Jeff is a little disappointed and wonders what they're going to do now. Just then Mike pulls up and tells them Morgan said they might be stranded somewhere. He also came equipped with Subway sandwiches. He suggests since they're already halfway to Vegas that maybe they should just go. They all hop into Mike's care and head towards Nevada. Meanwhile, Chuck is awakened at home by a phone call. Sarah's not in bed with him. She's at Castle calling him to say she's made an appointment to check out some office space. She wants Morgan and Casey to join them in a ceremony to kick off their new career path and to also destroy the Intersect glasses. Chuck tells her that's perfect.

After hanging up with Sarah, Chuck is knocked out and captured by Quinn. He calls Sarah and tells her to bring the Intersect glasses to the pier or Chuck dies. Sarah and Casey go to the pier to meet Quinn and to retrieve Chuck. While Sarah goes to check out the situation, Casey hides in the shadows as backup. Initially there's no one there, but suddenly a team of men repels down from the ceiling and surrounds her. She's outnumbered. The leader of the group tells her to put the glasses on the ground. She refuses until she sees Chuck. He tells her the situation has changed, and they'll be keeping him. Casey starts shooting, and Sarah manages to get away. The gunfight is overwhelming. Sarah asks Casey if he has an exit. He doesn't; plus he only has one clip left. Desperate, Sarah looks at the Intersect glasses and briefly contemplates before putting them on. It's the only way she and Casey are going to get out alive. Now armed with the Intersect, she handily takes care of the bad guys. But now, Sarah is the Intersect.
