PREVIEW: “Chuck vs. the Suitcase” Plus Live Chat

TGIM! Now that Chuck is back, Mondays are a lot more fun. Tonight’s episode, “Chuck vs. the Suitcase”, sends Team Bartowski to Milan for Fashion Week and includes a ton of guest stars.

CHUCK AND SARAH TRAVEL TO FASHION WEEK IN MILAN TO RETRIEVE A HIGH-TECH SECRET WEAPON — KAROLINA KURKOVA, LOU FERRIGNO, AND ISAIAH MUSTAFA GUEST STAR — When Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) go undercover in Milan, Chuck realizes the “Achilles’ Heel” in their relationship, but must set personal issues aside for the mission. Meanwhile, Morgan (Joshua Gomez) recognizes a fatal flaw that compromises the new Buy More. Elsewhere, Casey struggles to put down roots in Burbank. Bonita Friedericy, Vik Sahay and Scott Krinsky also star.

It sounds like another action-packed hour with plenty of room for laughs – Isaiah Mustafa as Greta looks hilarious; throw in the return of JEFFSTER! and you know this is going to be good.

  1. Mustafa reminds me of Casey, which is no bad thing considering that Casey’s a badass. 😉 I wonder if the Achilles heel is miscommunication between C/S. then again it’s no surprise as they’ve been struggling with that ever since they met.

    And Casey struggling to put roots in Burbank, why, since it’s been home to everyone including him the past three and a half years it might have something to do with his own family. Can’t wait for tonight. 🙂

  2. Wow! Episode 2 looks like its gonna bring even more funny awesomeness than episode 1! I’m speaking of the “BRAVO!” shouting the “is she naked!?!” comment and the b-slapping with poison glove rather than halfnaked supermodels here, just to clarify. 😛
    Plus Isaiah Mustafa seems like a really funny guy, him and Morgan together can’t be anything but golden! I am very excited! 🙂

  3. I think this EP is written by Lauren and Rafe ….
    Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

  4. I’m guessing that the fatal flaw the Morgan discovers at the Buy More is that with all CIA agents running the place that it doesn’t feel like a normal retail store let alone being like the old Buy More. Maybe this is the segway into getting Jeff & Lester & Big Mike back.

  5. No WAY! Jeffster is back!? Yes! Now Chuck Season 4 is complete. I can’t wait to see what their next song is to be 😀

  6. It’s official.
    Chuck + Isaiah Mustafa=The Show Your Show Wishes It Could Be.
    Look at your show.
    Now back to Chuck.
    Now back at your show.
    NOW BACK TO CHUCK.
    Needless to say, It’s not Chuck.
    But it could be.
    I’m on the couch.

  7. Um all i have to say is this episode is gonna rock! 😀 Im so excited!! Just fr

  8. This is going to be an interesting episode. I’m anxious to see what the Achille’s Heel thing is. My guess is it’s either poor communicating (there’s good evidence to support this in the synopsis of 4×04 and the sexting conversation between them in Castle is also strong evidence because the poor communication there is obvious) or something to do with the fact that there’s always the possibility of one of them having to seduce someone else on a mission while the other watches. For the Buy More flaw, I think it will be that it’s now operating too efficiently to seem like a Buy More since the CIA is operating it. Josh Gomez said something about that in an interview.

    Oh, and I love John’s comment! That’s so true.

  9. Ahhh it’s days like these I wish I lived on the East Coast so I could join you all in the excitement :(. I will have to remove myself from this page for 3 whole hours. It’s going to be tough…

  10. anyone know who sang the song at the end of the episode?

  11. Loved it totally better then last week. Lots of sqeetacular moments. 🙂

  12. I cannot stress enough how incredible of a performance Yvonne Strahovski gave in this episode. This was Emmy-worthy. No other actress out there can run the emotional gamut like Yvonne can. She absolutely carried tonight’s episode.

  13. What can I say. I really liked the first episode but this one was even better!!!
    The scene when Casey shot at Jeff with this anesthesia like bullets was so funny – faces of Jeff – unforgettable, I could not stop laughing for a few minutes. There were some tiny tensions between Sara and Chuck in terms of their future, so I hope it will keep their relationship alive and not boring to watch. Generally this episode was really fun to watch. I am waiting for another one!!!

  14. OMG!!!!!!!!!! Such a FREAKING CHUCKTASTIC EPPY!!!!

  15. I don’t know what to think about the latest episode. I consider the bridge episode needed to formulate the rest of the season. Not as exciting or funny as the first but I guess it was needed in a way as far as storyline goes.

    I think the pregnancy/marriage issue was a obvious issue that seems to be the main focus when it comes to “The First Fight”. I just hope they don’t rush the show into pro marriage/pregnancy or against right away or even at the end unless the series becomes a sure termination. Maybe I’m just the only one that saw things this way. I’m looking forward to Ellies response about Chucks involvement with the CIA and their mother though, I can’t stand waiting one more episode without her knowing. Just seems cruel.

  16. The way that the writers are doing in the last 6 episodes of season 3 and episode 4×01 & 4×02 is correct. It is clear that evolution is that Chuck & Sarah get married. This is much better than put someone in of their relationship or separate Chuck and Sarah? This really would be the immediate suicide of Chuck. I think they are doing very well and for me is one of the best series I’ve seen in the last years.

  17. What happened to Bronson Pinchot? I thought he was supposed to be in this episode. His name is also in the opening credits.

    • If you blinked, you missed him. When Chuck tried to grab the model’s purse and grabbed her butt by mistake, Chuck apologised to her and tried to say he was there with Sarah. But when he pointed and said “I’m with…”, Pinchot had walked between Chuck and Sarah, and the model thought that Chuck and Pinchot were a couple. Hence her comment about “no harm done”. I don’t recall if Pinchot appeared again later in the show.

  18. What a FANTASTIC episode!! The writing has been FABULOUS this year, if this is a preview for the rest of the season it will be the best ever!!! Yvonne, OMG!!!! Do I need to say anymore.

  19. I thought the episode was really funny loved the way morgan showed that the Buy More was too perfect to be a real store and the search for the buymorons with Casey was quite fun to watch (yeah! Jeffster but where is Big Mike)

    We now know that Volkroft are not an offshoot of the ring and will be the baddies this season.

    Chuck and Sarah’s problems are about her not finding it easy to put down roots and not any jealousy in the relationship (but who knows whats coming)the look on Sarah’s face when chuck mentions marriage and a baby could be the even more of an achillies heel the the suitcase ever was.

    Chuck telling Ellie about his search for thier mother is made easier because of her own curosity about her mother (tell her about the search and not the CIA)

    all in all I rate this at a 4 OUT OF 5 it would have been higher Broson Piccoes part had more substance than a cameo.
