Chuck goes undercover as Mr. Carmichael to steal the Cipher by seducing a woman named Sasha with offers of…club soda? Although Chuck does obtain the Cipher, Sasha and her thugs capture Sarah and Casey to hold hostage. Sarah is sure Chuck will focus on the Cipher, the key to his freedom; Casey is sure Chuck is a “dumb b@stard who is in love with [Sarah]”. Sure enough, Chuck enlists the help of his new mentor, former spy Roan Montgomery, but Montgomery’s defeatist attitude does not inspire Chuck. Calling his own shots, Chuck sets up a hostage exchange at the Buy More, of which Lester is now assistant manager.

Meanwhile, Captain Awesome creates the “perfect” night for Ellie.
