Episode Recap
Episode 211 | Season 2 | 12/15/2008
As Emmett gleefully marks up holiday prices at the Buy More, Chuck drops in on Sarah to invite her to the annual Bartowski Christmas gathering: a gas firelog, eggnog and a Twilight Zone marathon on TV. Sarah's depressed by Christmas because she's reminded that it was always a day she worked a con with her dad.
Decked out in full Santa gear, Big Mike prepares his elf-clad troops for the war known as the Christmas Rush. He's hoping for a record sales day. But the team is distracted by a live car chase being shown on all the in-store televisions. Ellie and Awesome show up just before the store doors open, looking to beat the crowd and take advantage of Chuck's discount.
As the Buy More gang puts the finishing touches on the store displays, the car chase roars through Burbank. The criminal takes a turn into the Buy More parking lot -- and comes crashing through the glass doors! He's Ned Rhyerson, a down-and-out dad who's lost his job and was just looking for some presents for his kids when things got out of hand; he brandishes a pistol. Quickly taking control of the store, he asks who's in charge and everyone -- Big Mike and Emmett included -- say "Chuck!"
Ned forces Chuck to lock down all the doors and disable the security system. Cops swarm the building and establish a perimeter. The Burbank P.D. contingent is led by Al Powell, Bike Mike's cousin; Lt. Mauser is on hand from L.A.P.D.'s hostage negotiating unit. Meanwhile, at Castle, Casey and Sarah get instructions from General Beckman not to storm the store -- if they do, it will compromise Chuck's cover with his family. Instead, their job is to carefully infiltrate the store and carefully remove Chuck from danger, letting the LAPD take care of the gunman.
Hostage negotiator Mauser asks Ned to release one hostage as a sign of good faith. Emmett begs to be let go and Ned obliges. Outside, he is interviewed by a local reporter and immediately begins pitching the low prices at Buy More. Meanwhile the hostages inside the store watch it all live on the big screen TVs.
Casey and Sarah sneak into the Buy More break room through a secret entrance in an employee locker. They try to convince Chuck that he must come with them to safety, but he refuses, saying he won't leave his family and friends behind. As they're talking, Ned shows up and Chuck has to talk him down again, eventually convincing him to uncock his gun. Only problem is that Ned isn't familiar with his own gun and manages to shoot off Casey's toe while trying to uncock it.
Awesome gathers Big Mike, Morgan, and Lester to discuss a plan to take on the gunman. Someone needs to be a hero, he tells them -- only to be rebuked by Ellie, who explains that a real hero is someone who lives to take care of his family. Chuck agrees that it's far too dangerous and that they should all let the police handle it.
At Chuck's urging, Ned lets everyone make calls to their loved ones. Chuck calls Sarah over to the DVD section where he gives her a Christmas gift: his mom's charm bracelet. It's supposed to bring good luck, he tells her. Sarah feels uncomfortable accepting it, but Chuck insists. The tender moment is broken when the hostage negotiator calls the store again.
Ned explains to the Lt. Mauser that all he wants is to spend Christmas with his family. Mauser says that can be arranged and that Ned should let him come into the store, unarmed. With Mauser inside, Ned agrees to let two hostages go: Sarah and Casey. As Mauser is commending Chuck on his bravery so far, Chuck flashes: Mauser is FULCRUM!
Mauser and Ned are in cahoots. Mauser explains that FULCRUM knew that Casey and Sarah were agents protecting an important asset, so they hatched the hostage scheme to uncover who it was. When they discovered it was Chuck, they looked into his background and determined that Chuck must know where Bryce Larkin is. Chuck says he thinks Larkin is dead; Mauser doesn't believe him and threatens to have Ellie killed. Panicked, Chuck reveals to Mauser that he is the Intersect.
Elated at having found the Intersect, Mauser explains that he and Chuck will walk out together to a waiting ambulance where they'll be taken to a secure FULCRUM facility. Chuck, realizing that he may never see Ellie again, asks to say goodbye to her and Awesome. He tells Ellie he loves her and tells Awesome that this is the time to make a move. Awesome understands and gathers his strike team (Lester, Big Mike, Morgan, Jeff) and devises a game plan to take Ned down.
Back at Castle, Casey and Sarah figure out that Ned isn't who he seems to be. They arm themselves and return to go rescue Chuck. As the ambulance speeds off with Chuck and Mauser inside, Sarah shoots out its tires, causing it to crash into a Christmas tree lot. Chuck escapes out he back, with Mauser pursuing him through the tree lot.
Working as a decoy, Lester attacks Ned, who decks him with a side-kick. As he asks who's next, Ned is surprised by Morgan, who assaults him with a fake snow blower. Ned's temporarily blinded, long enough for Awesome and Big Mike to tackle him from two sides. They capture his gun and hold him at bay.
Back in the tree lot, Mauser is hunting Chuck. But Sarah comes to Chuck's rescue and sends him back to Castle on foot. Mauser finds Sarah and a viscous fight ensues. Sarah prevails, and recovers her gun. Captured but unfazed, Mauser tells Sarah he doesn't care. He's discovered the Intersect and he'll soon tell the rest of FULCRUM who will then pursue Chuck to the death. Sarah realizes Mauser's telling the truth and, after thinking about it for a moment, shoots Mauser dead. Hiding in the shadows, Chuck has seen it all.
The hostage crisis over, the Buy More begins to return to normal. There is love all around. Big Mike has a joyous reunion with his cousin, Big Al. Awesome hugs Ellie, Anna hugs Lester (and is then grossed out when he gets a little too frisky), and Sarah hugs Chuck. Chuck asks her what happened to the FULCRUM agent, Sarah lies that she arrested him and he'll be put away forever. Chuck is sad: not only is the girl he loves a cold blooded killer, she's liar too.

Episode Recap
Episode 210 | Season 2 | 12/08/2008
Flashback to 1992 as a seven-year-old Sarah (a.k.a. Jenny Burton), carefully rides her bike down a busy street in Butte, Montana. As an armored car is pulling away from the curb, she pulls her bike into its path, getting thrown onto the pavement. As the frantic guards rush out to help her, her father loots the back of the truck, then comes to help out the young girl. They make their getaway and young Sarah and her dad count their haul. They're a good team and it's not the first time they've pulled a scam.
Back at the modern-day Orange Orange, Chuck drops in on Sarah and asks if she'd like to come over for dinner with his family. She demurs, citing personal plans. Chuck probes further, but Sarah is tight-lipped, explaining only that's it's not a mission. Chuck inquires of Casey, who confirms that Sarah's taking a personal night off. His jealousy growing, Chuck fears that Sarah might be headed out on a date.
Morgan leads Anna to the Home Theatre Room for a romantic romp but Anna resists, saying she's tired of only hooking up at work. She says it's time to take the next step: getting an apartment together. Morgan explains that a big move like that requires further discussion as well as money. Beside, he protests, they're already living a dream, pointing to the 70" TV, cozy couch, and free coffee. A steely Anna storms off, leaving a dejected Morgan to commiserate with Chuck.
Chuck tails Sarah as she's picked up by a mysterious older man. He follows them to a restaurant and hides across the room, watching incredulously as they exchange small talk. Sarah gets a phone alert that Chuck is in the area and scans the restaurant. She excuses herself and confronts Chuck, who explains he was only concerned for her safety -- and in fact he has just had a flash on her date. He goes on to scold her for dating a much older man, a "total loser, scum of the earth." As Chuck continues his jealous pique, Sarah's "date" appears and Sarah introduces him: it's her father, Jack Burton. He's a professional con man (hence the flash), who's been in and out of Sarah's life since she was a girl.
The next day, Sarah catches up with her dad, who explains he's just fleeced a wealthy Saudi sheik for almost a million dollars. Back at Castle, Sarah explains the situation to General Beckman and offers to bring her father in. Beckman rejects the idea, noting that the Sheik, Rajiv Amad, has ties to terrorists and that they should leverage Jack's relationship with the Sheik to develop intelligence that might help break up the terror ring.
Morgan lets himself into Chuck's apartment only to meet Captain Awesome, who offers moral support -- and a loan -- to help him with his big move with Anna. "Welcome to adulthood, Morgan. We've been waiting for you." A check for $2500 in his hand, Morgan is both touched by Awesome's generosity and scared by the future ahead.
Back at Buy More, Jeff, Lester, and Morgan stand in awe at a car in the auto stereo installation bay: a 1981 DMC Delorean, their dream car from the movie Back to the Future. The car's owner explains that it's for sale. Morgan can't resist the temptation and agrees to buy the car on the spot.
Over dinner, Sarah's father tells her and Chuck how he's fleecing the Sheik with the "Lichtenstein" scam, brokering a deal for a high-rise building via a fictitious owner/seller, Mr. Lichtenstein.
As Chuck and Sarah walk out of the hotel restaurant, Sheik Amad and his retinue pass by, causing Chuck to flash. Sarah quickly turns around to follow the Sheik and his men, who are on their way to confront Sarah's dad -- they've sensed the scam. With the help of Sarah who poses as Lichtenstein's assistant, Jack Burton explains that it's all a misunderstanding and that he'll arrange a face-to-face meeting for them with Mr. Lichtenstein in the morning. The Sheik wants to see him now -- and pulls a gun to show that he's serious. Watching the situation deteriorate from the wings, Chuck quickly joins the effort, having himself paged as Mr. Lichtenstein. They agree to meet the next day.
Sarah apologizes to General Beckman for putting Chuck in a dangerous position, but the general thinks they should move ahead with the plan to meet; their mission is to get the Sheik's bank account numbers so his terrorist-funding ties can be exposed.
After hearing that Morgan wasted the loan on an old car, Devon (a.k.a. Captain Awesome) is determined to get his money back. He storms into the Buy More where he's told Morgan's off at the DMV getting new license plates (DEMORGAN). Awesome -- and Anna -- are furious. Morgan returns and Awesome lets him know that he has one day to give him his money back or he'll "pluck him from head to toe." Anna adds, "Start with the groin. He won't be using that region for a while."
Sarah, her father, Chuck, and Casey plot how they'll get access to the Sheik's bank account. They arrive at the building they're supposedly selling, dressed as exterminators. After they evacuate everyone, they install Chuck in a posh office, suitable for a building's wealthy owner. Chuck does his best impersonation of a German real estate tycoon (Herr Lichentstein), then feigns being highly offended by the Sheik's men. He announces that the sale is off. The ploy works: the Sheik demands to buy the building and types his account number into a computer to begin the wire transfer of the deposit money.
Celebrating their successful operation afterwards, Sarah's father, Sarah, Chuck, and Casey share a champagne toast. Sarah's dad excuses himself to get more ice and quickly vanishes -- with the cash and computer containing the Sheik's account information. Later, Chuck consoles Sarah, explaining that his own father also disappeared on him and let him down.
General Beckman instructs Casey to round up Jack Burton, whom the Agency has traced to a downtown hotel. When Casey arrives, he finds the room ransacked; Jack has been captured by the Sheik, who informs Sarah that he will kill him if she doesn't return his money.
Morgan, fearing for his safety, turns to best friend Chuck to help him out. Chuck agrees to loan him the $2500 he owes Captain Awesome. As Chuck is pulling cash out of the Buy More Credit Union ATM, he notices his bank account has swollen to over 10 million dollars! Apparently the Sheik's wire transfer went into his personal account.
As Chuck returns to Castle to tell Sarah about the transfer, she's busy preparing to meet the Sheik to win the release of her father -- but she won't tell this to Chuck, who again is wondering why she's keeping him in the dark. She meets the Sheik in a parking lot to arrange the exchange. But the duffel bags Sarah has brought are filled with clothes, not cash, and the Sheik's men threaten to execute her and her father. Just as the situation approaches the boiling point, Chuck rolls up to the rescue -- in the newly christened Delorean.
Chuck convinces Sheik Amad that they're just a group of con artists who got in too deep and that if the Sheik will log on to Chuck's laptop, Chuck will transfer the money back to him. The Sheik does; Casey, who's monitoring the situation nearby, picks up the account information, and then comes in with lights and siren blaring. After a tense standoff and a shootout that grazes Sarah's father, the Sheik and his men make a getaway in Morgan's broken-down Delorean. The Sheik is later apprehended.
General Beckman announces that Jack Burton will be arrested on money laundering charges but that consideration will be made for his help in exposing the Sheik. The DEMORGAN is reported stolen, which means that Morgan will receive Bluebook value for it, and he and Anna can now move in together.
Watching Morgan forlornly contemplating the domestic life ahead of him, Jeff and Lester let him know that another incredible car has come into the auto stereo install shop -- and it too is for sale. The rarity: a mint version of the General Lee -- the famous muscle car from The Dukes of Hazard. It appears that Morgan can't resist.
