Yes but they must of known why else would they use it to trick chuck and sarah, they must of known he had one they wouldnt risk it otherwise

it was chuck that knew where the floppy disks could be played on a computer in los angeles

A lot of odd things happened at the end of the last episode.
Frost didn’t give up the info that her son is Chuck, or that Orion was his father, so does Volkov know Frost was married to Orion?
Elle’s new Mustang has Orion tech. I want to know where that goes.

I’ve been thinking the intersect is now a more permanent part of Chucks mind. I think next episode we will find out that his skills wont need flashing they will just be second nature. His new training he will get will help him work past the fears and second guessing that has plagued him for the last few seasons, and not have him rely on the hope he flashes. I hope this is the case.

Two peculiar things was Frost knew what to look for in the Orion basement and of Chuck’s abilities, so what was on that PSP? It also makes me think that Orion was in contact with Frost at least to some degree.

The story lost traction with the whole Triangle floppy disks. How would Frost or Volkov know that Orion had one still.

I’m actually more excited to hear Rob Riggle will be on the show. Sure a few Firefly jokes will be good with Glau, but Riggle is just an amazing funny man who can actually dish out the pain. The man was a real Marine before switching to comedy. Watch him in the movie Killers he has an amazing fight scene with Aston Kutcher.

That’s a good catch, Patrick – if Orion never meant for Chuck to have the Intersect, then what Mary showed him could have been a good thing. It’s tough to guess her intentions – maybe Mary showing him that thing was, along with giving Sarah the razor blade, one of the major turning points of the episode, season, and the entire series.

I’ve always felt weird about the whole season 3 subplot with the Intersect messing with Chuck’s brain. I hoped that wearing the Governor/watch wouldn’t be a crutch, and I’m glad they haven’t mentioned it at all this season.

I wonder if Mary showing Chuck the images meant that the Intersect is permanently cemented into Chuck’s brain, and that he no longer has to flash to access his abilities. He just has to know and believe that they are a part of him, free to use at will. This could remove the glitchy nature of the 2.0, and maybe put him beyond any further Intersect manipulation.

On the other hand, if the Intersect is truly gone, then Chuck has to rely on all the growth he has gone through to be a good spy on his own terms. Maybe he can fight a bit. Maybe he has to rely on Sarah more now. Maybe he will regain the Intersect.

Overall, though, I hope that what Mary did was a good thing. Maybe what she used was something Orion didn’t want to, in that it would install or lock in the Intersect permanently. Could be that Orion wanted the Intersect to be removable all along, and Mary has decided that it’s time that Chuck’s intersect needed to be beyond manipulation. In effect, that means that what she did to Chuck wasn’t to mess with him, but to prevent him from being messed with from here on out.

Well Chuck will most probably freak out until he understands what happened to the Intersect. And before Chuck’s brain is “fully operational” he will try to prove to everyone he is the old spy. Eventually Sarah will tell him she loves Chuck for who he is. I am looking forward to seeing that scene where their love is just out of bounds.

She actually said, “Chuck, your father never wanted you to see this. But I know now that he was wrong.”
