Hi All,

I agree with all the moments mentioned by everyone! I have about 5 moments from S3 that showed how much Sarah has become a real girl over the series but I’ll just menton two for now.

1. vs The Pink Slip: The Flash back scene @ the train platform – The delight on her face & she’s trying to contain the excitment in her voice but then after she kisses Chuck and he hands back the ticket the apsolute shock on her face thinking she’s being rejected. It was powerful!

2. vs The 3 little words: When she is watching Chuck Pour his heart 2 her on the PC in Castle!

What do people think?

So many to choose from. One reason I love the show is that there is at least one moment in every episode that shows Sarah is a “real girl”. All of the ones mentioned are great ones but the one that stands out in my mind the most is in the Honeymooners episode at the very end. Chuck and Sarah are talking to Beckman about their relationship and after Chuck tried and failed Sarah just blurts out, “General, Chuck and I are dating, exclusively!”
To me that epidimizes what Sarah’s character is. Sarah’s reality is that she is a very strong women and she told the General, another strong woman how it is going to be. That was also the beginning of Sarah learning how to express herself feeling words, not just actions, about Chuck to Chuck, and others. V

In reply to verkisto. I believe you mean Mel's love of alliteration. :) But I agree that the list could be much longer.

I love all of the choices that everyone mentioned.

My 2 favorites for the series are these:

S 1 Chuck Vs The Wookie: The Lisa Scene:

Chuck brings Pizza to Sarah’s Appt. to make up for his jelous behavior earlier in the ep. As he explains himself & his actions & nearly begs Sarah for one true fact about herself… The look on Sarah’s face was amazing. She wanted to tell Chuck everything about herself, she liked him that much already. However, her job as Chuck’s Handler & CIA Training wouldn’t let her.

She finally breaks down, when he is across the room & says her real name. (Lisa)
You could tell the affect Chuck’s general goodness was having on her & that she cared for him already.

2 S 2 Chuck Vs The Santa Claus. Sarah shooting Mauser in the Christmas tree lot.
She was not shooting Mauser out of any sense of duty to the CIA, her country or her job. She killed Mauser, because he was a threat to the man she loved.

She admitted to herself that she loved Chuck right there. Not in words maybe but in her actions. Tied… The Bracelet scene, same episode.

I admit it, I am a romantic sap & Chuck & Sarah to me, has been the best couple & TV Romance that I have seen on television in 20yrs.

In reply to Brandon Mallard. I have three things to say in my defense: That one could be classified as Sarah's wanting to be a girl, not actually showing signs of being a girl; Mel's love on onomatopoeia restricts the list to five items; I forgot about that one because there are so many to choose from! So thanks for adding to the list via the comments, everybody, and keep them coming! ;-)

Very key moments!

I also wanted to second Doctor Bob’s mention of Sarah asking Casey about whether he’s ever dreamt of having a normal life from “Crown Vic.” I actually thought that one would have made the list!

I’d also like to add the 2 scenes at the end of Best Friend. Sarah finally learns what it means to have a friend that matters to you beyond the job. How you would put your life on the line for them and go above and beyond. She saw what she thought was Chuck doing that for his friend and the pain of his possible loss was almost too much to bear. She then realizes that she has no one in her life that would do the same for her. But all of that wasn’t true. Chuck was ok and he let her know that he felt the same way about her as he did about Morgan in a way. He would lay down his life for her, not as his handler but as her friend.

Sarah knew then she had real friends and a real best friend. It brought her one step closer to a world she never knew she wanted or could have.

S.1/E.11 “Crown Vic” where Sarah asks Casey if he’s ever dreamt of a normal life with family and kids. He puts her straight with the talk about duty to something larger than self and she falls back into line, but for one brief moment, she saw herself as a real girl.

Those were great! I like the one where her & Chuck are standing at the window watching Ellie get engaged. Chuck asks her if she wants to come in & she says that’s just for the family, and he said “I know,” but she doesn’t go and watches instead with Casey. Our “she-male” so wanted to be a girl then and wanted to be part of a family. Kleenex time again!
