We flash back to 1992 and 12-year-old Morgan is running from a bully. A female bully. She takes him down and is prepared to get even with him for spying on her when 12-year-old Chuck appears. Adorable and heroic, even in middle school Chuck has Morgan’s back. Young Morgan laments his girlfriend-less state to young Chuck, but his friend predicts that one day they’ll have girlfriends. Morgan suspects growing a beard will land the ladies…

Flash to the present day and Morgan is again lamenting his girlfriend-less status, this time pining over Anna. Unfortunately for Anna, her new boyfriend, Jason, is mixed up with the Triad, a gang of Chinese bad guys. Chuck ends up undercover with Sarah at Jason’s car showroom, along with Anna, trying to figure out Jason’s connection to the Triad. Morgan, still 12 years old in some ways, is caught by the Triad when he tags along to spy on Anna. In order to save Morgan’s life, Chuck convinces the Triad that Morgan isn’t a spy…he’s a loser stalking Anna. A devastated Morgan, not knowing how close he came to death, feels betrayed by his best friend. Chuck doesn’t have time to fix it, though, because the Triad is targeting an Ambassador and Team Chuck has to save the day!

Meanwhile, Jeff and Lester’s friendship undergoes a strain as well.
