On rewatching the episode, the only clue is when Sarah tries calling her mom, her mom’s phone listed her as “Sarah”. She also introduces Molly to her as her sister Sarah. Maybe the writers just dropped the ball on this detail or it was just worth overlooking here. Same goes for Mom’s name.

I thought exactly the same for the timeline my only complaint with the episode is that scene with Graham sending her to be Chucks ‘Handler’ as they did not know he had the intersect, that he was just a civillian and so would not need a handler. It would have been better if he had just told her to find him and get close to him (conveniant eh) or that they suspected he might be Bryces acomplace. I liked that they showed Bryces broken computer on Grahams desk.

I admit part of me is disappointed that we did not hear Sarahs real name but i must admit a larger part of me just does not care she is Sarah Walker/Bartowski to me now and always will be. Finding out Lisa was so amazing the way we new but were not sure if Chuck ever did. Finding out Sam was just terrible I understand that it was the fact that he heard it and all Sarahs concerns made him wake up to what was happening to him make it understandable now but not at the time. It is clear from the phone call at the beginning of the episode that Mum new what Sarah was doing for a Job and her permanent CIA name plus she had arrived at there home while it was just Morgan there if she had told him that she was there for Sam would he have known? Morgan probbaly told her about Chuck and Sarah aswelll.
I thought it was a really great episode. It also made me rethink my dislike of Sarah going to see Shaw in Santa Suit, as she had to go as he said he new all her secrets and she must have been worried if he new about this as it invloves her Mum it was proabably the most important secret she had.

Graham only told Sarah k ‘If he runs Kill Him’ so there was no definate order to kill him.
I think Sarahs timellinne is something like Cat squad, then Bryces partner, when Bryce goes rogue she is suspected aswell so has a Handler as shown in this episode, then obviously igt is off to Burbank.

JMC- thanks for your reply. I cannot play it back, but I am pretty sure Sarah not only canned Beckman’s offer, but all spy work because it would interfere with the new life she wanted. Could be wrong. Anyone else know?

“However, my biq dilema is figuring out what are they going to do next if no more spy work for Sarah. Can’t wait.”

Sarah only said she didn’t want to work for the CIA anymore, she can still use all the same spy skills for Carmichael Industries.

She doesn’t have any problems with spy work, Sarah likes doing what she does… and working with her husband and Casey for their own company she has the freedom to choose what jobs to take, unlike with the CIA.

Cat squad was before Bryce.

However, I am glad that people are taking note of the plotholes. The two most glaring for me are the Sarah timeline (specifically, Graham’s assignment at the end) and the whole “Sam” thing.

I honestly thought between last weeks episode and this one we’d get a conclusion on Sarah’s confiding in Shaw that her real name was Sam. I mean, really??? Can we just have her mom mention it or something???

As for Sarah’s timeline, here’s how I see it:
-She joins the CIA
-She gets trained and has a handler (name unknown)
-She’s assigned to the CAT Squad
-She’s reassigned to partner with Bryce
-She is reassigned to a handler (Ryker) after Bryce goes rogue
-She has the whole “Chuck vs the Baby” incident with Ryker, Molly and her mom
-She is reassigned to see what Bryce has done with the intersect file, and to see how Chuck is involved
-The rest, as they say, is history

The only awkward part is seeing Graham in this episode officially assign her as Chuck’s handler, without any mention of Bryce or finding out about the intersect file.

Well, it would be really nice if they could bring these things full circle, as they have been fairly consistant with the timeline in the past. However, all things considered this was definately a good episode, especially for Sarah, and I’m glad most of the fans have been liking it!

what device are you talking about? :S
