  1. It looks like there’s a communication problem for C/S coming up in ep 2 through 4 maybe? And for the record, I hope this ‘forbidden romance’ doesn’t last long. To quote Casey ”God help us” or rather me in this case.

    • I think the communication problem between Chuck and Sarah will begin (in fact, they’ve had that problem since season 2) in episode 2 (Achilles heel?), but will seriously come forth in episode 3 (the Ring, and Heather’s schemes); and in episode 4, like the synopsis said, they will be on the mend and will work on it.

      The forbidden romance is most probably Morgan and Alex.

  2. The communication problem is nothing new. These two have been in love with each other since the pilot episode, but only got around to that discussion in season 3.

  3. The way I’ve seen it they’ve always had a communication issue. I don’t think they could do something bigger in the miscommunication realm that they haven’t already done in the last 3 seasons.

  4. I wonder of the “communication issues” are something like the battery in Chuck’s cell phone died and Sarah can’t reach him. THAT would be original.

  5. Loved the last interview on the podcast!
    And I believe that Zac basically gave us a clue about the communication breakdown….
    Sarah wants Chuck to be completely transparent and honest…
    and Chuck seems to have some serious trust issues.
    So he either lies – or conceals truth – whatever – but I think
    we’ve seen Sarah put up with Chuck – because he always seems
    to have good motives for his actions. At least that’s the way
    Chuck tries to justify or rationalize his behaviour.
    I have a feeling Sarah will have had enough.
    Also from the other titles we see coming – First Fight – and Couch Look –
    Chuck is really in the dog house.

    • Agree Chuck essentially need to stop being a lying little bleep to Sarah and Ellie.
      Looks Sarah in the eye and promises no more lies or secrets and then breaks it. To me that would be the relationship breaker.
      I’m not trolling tell me that’s not what a bleep (think negative word here lol) would do?
      But it’s the usual thing with Chuck relationships, two steps forward and one step back it’s the angst revamped is all.

  6. The Couch Look could refer to Chuck having problems with the intersect and has to get back onto the therapy couch as he did in the Tooth.

  7. Chuck keeps making assumptions or statements that are important to both he and Sarah without discussing them with Sarah. “Who know’s maybe they should be next with a marriage and children”–not an exact quote but close enough–Sarah is upset–she is not ready for children (possibly not marriage either). She looked pissed off in their last scene in this week’s episode and it might be the basis of the communication problems. I would like to see them get married just so she will have a do not touch sign on her. Ritchie is great as a highschool snob and Sarah at times seems vulnerable to Ritchie’s remarks. Good fun played out by both actresses. Hope we have another great fight between them.
