Chuck Episode 1.11 Chuck Versus the Crown Vic

Everyone's gearing up for the holiday party at Buy More, and Jewish Lester defeats everyone in a betting game of dradyl. Chuck's worried that Sarah hasn't shown up for work, and Casey teases that there's a great selection of new handlers in the CIA Christmas catalog. Morgan hid in the bushes outside Anna's last night, and now he's sure she's cheating on him.

Jeff, Lester and Chuck take a trip to install electronics on philanthropist billionaire Lon Kirk's yacht. Jeff darts downstairs to find several men counting money and handing off stacks to chicks in bikinis. Chuck flashes on the money, realizing that it's counterfeit. Back at Casey's, Beckman claims there's a major counterfeiter in town to attend Kirk's charity event at the New Constellation Yacht Club. Chuck and Sarah will attend to see if he flashes on anything while Casey will be working on the event staff.

Chuck chases after Sarah to confess that he thought she would be halfway to Bryce by now, but she coldly insists that her job is with him. At Buy More, Morgan admits to Anna that he spied on her - who picked her up last night? Anna explains that her parents are in town from Taiwan for a charity event. Morgan agrees to meet them, and then tells Chuck he thinks he made a mistake. Chuck tells Morgan to be himself and everything will be fine, but Lester advises him to step up his game and be someone else.

Chuck poses as Charles Carmichael, Sarah's boyfriend, for the charity event. Things are still strained between them, especially when Sarah flirts salaciously with Kirk, ditching Chuck. Casey tells Chuck to relax; Sarah's just doing her job. Chuck flashes on Rashan Chen, attaché to the Taiwanese Premier, who's using the charity as a front to launder counterfeit money. Kirk invites Sarah back to his yacht the next day, and Chuck isn't invited.

Casey is in love with his 1985 Crown Vic Limited, outfitted with a state-of-the-art GPS tracking system in its license plate. He's bringing a team to the marina to back up Sarah, who is to get close to Kirk by any means necessary. Morgan bikes over to the yacht club to meet Anna and her parents and quickly succeeds in mortifying everyone. When he spies Sarah in a bikini getting busy with Kirk, he jumps up and calls Chuck.

Chuck brings Casey some jelly donuts so he can spy on Sarah, but instead flashes on some crates filled with counterfeiting plates being loaded onto Kirk's yacht. Sarah and Kirk are just getting comfortable with champagne when Casey's NSA team descends. Kirk claims that it's illegal to open his crates, but opens one himself to reveal medical supplies that he's taking to earthquake victims in Taiwan. He'll be speaking to their bosses' bosses later.

Sarah busts into Chuck's house to yell at him for flashing just when he thought she was getting intimate with Kirk. Incredulous, Chuck demands to know if she's implying that he's a flash faker, which he isn't. It seems that emotions have been getting in the way since the kiss incident. Sarah doesn't want to talk about it, but Chuck asks if she kissed him because his were the most convenient lips or was it about him? Sarah walks out without answering, and Chuck drops his head in defeat.

Back at Buy More, Anna ruefully admits that the meeting with her parents went okay-ish; but the Morgan they all know and love wasn't in attendance. Morgan and Anna have been invited on a cruise with some bigwig diplomats, and Morgan invites Chuck to come with Sarah, but he declines. Beckman scolds the team for botching the Kirk job, and benches them until further notice. Chuck demands to know if Sarah compromised the Intersect, and she promises to talk to Chuck and fix it or ask for a reassignment.

Chuck comforts himself by eating noodles and gaping at cell phone pics of Sarah when Morgan sends him a photo from the cruise. He runs to Casey with news that Chen and the plates are on Morgan's yacht, but Casey's not buying it. Chuck proceeds to Wienerlicious. Sarah hops over the counter, and Casey meets them at the marina. Chuck spies Morgan riding on the prow of the boat like DiCaprio in "Titanic," and has another flash - there's a GPS missile tracking device on the yacht, and Kirk's going to blow it up.

Chuck spies the self-guided missile launcher being loaded onto Kirk's yacht. Casey will take out the guards, Sarah will create a diversion, and Chuck promises to wait in the car as usual, but Sarah pulls him into the game. Sarah persuades Kirk to invite her onto the yacht. Chuck shows up, pretending to be her jilted boyfriend. Casey starts taking out the guards, but Kirk shoots the missile between Chuck's legs.

Chuck grabs the missile's control module, promising that all software can be reset. Clueless, Morgan is on his game, entertaining Anna's family while downing huge shrimp as the missile turns around... heading straight for Chuck, Casey and Sarah. Chuck needs another target, and asks Casey for the coordinates to his beloved Crown Vic. Chuck apologizes to Casey as the Crown Vic explodes in a ball of fire.

Back at Buy More, Morgan tells Chuck that everything was going great with Anna's parents until he got seasick and puked, but Anna was amazing. Chuck advises Morgan to tell Anna his feelings, even if it will leave him completely vulnerable. Dressed as Santa, Big Mike closes the doors, and the Annual Buy More Holiday Party gets underway. Morgan apologizes to Anna, and she admits she didn't want him to meet her parents because she's not herself around them, and she didn't want him to see that.

Morgan's happy that Anna's pretty make-up and inappropriately short skirts are back, and they run off to find some mistletoe. Sarah smiles at Chuck and admits that she's good at her job, but not relationships. She tells Chuck that he's good at his job too, the one where he risks his life to save others. They shake on being friends, but don't kiss under the mistletoe. While they dance, Beckman calls Casey to inform that the new Intersect will be working soon, and then it will be time for him to "take care of" Bartowski.
