Chuck Episode 1.04 Chuck Versus the Wookie

Sarah, Chuck, Ellie, Captain Awesome and Morgan play a spirited game of "Know Ya" while someone watches from outside. When asked who Chuck hates most, Sarah guesses his Buy More nemesis Harry Tang, but Morgan corrects her - it's Bryce. Things get awkward when Morgan blabs on all the reasons why Chuck hates Bryce. Walking Sarah to the car, Chuck admits he wishes he could access her file with his mind so he could know everything about her. He asks about Bryce, and Sarah says they were partners, but not exactly friends.

Sarah's about to get in the shower when she sees a reflection in the faucet. Shoving a bar of soap in a stocking, she battles a ninja who she finally recognizes as old pal Carina, a stunning DEA Agent. Carina thinks LA is dullsville and is only in town to steal a diamond... with Sarah's help. The next morning, Chuck passes Carina in the courtyard and has a flash - she recently did a job in Argentina and was redacted.

Chuck busts into Casey's apartment where Casey and Sarah video conference with the General and Graham, who want them to use Chuck to find the diamond. Sarah thinks Chuck's too valuable, especially since Carina is a wild card who can't be trusted. Casey doesn't want to work with her either, after what happened in Prague. The General knows all about Carina, ordering the team to get the diamond from opium financier Peyman Alahi's heavily guarded Malibu compound and hand it over to the NSA.

Sarah introduces Chuck to Carina, telling her that their mission is top secret, and their cover is boyfriend-girlfriend. Morgan is instantly smitten, and tells the guys at work about superhot Carina. When Carina shows up at Buy More to question Chuck, Morgan calls in a favor, asking Chuck to get him a double date with her. Chuck asks Sarah, telling her to say no, but she thinks it's a great idea, and sets it up.

On the double date, Chuck wants to watch a movie, but Morgan wants to talk so he can get to know Carina. Has she always been this hot? Morgan keeps talking after Chuck turns on the movie, asking Carina if she likes to travel. Chuck mentions that Carina just got back from Argentina, and everyone shuts up. In the middle of the night, Morgan calls Chuck several times in a row to see if he heard anything from Carina. Chuck hasn't. He's just trying to get back to sleep when his phone rings again - Nerd Herd emergency!

Chuck reports to the emergency - it's Carina, who admits that she lied to get him to her hotel room. Chuck couldn't have known she was in Argentina unless he had a really high security clearance. She takes off her robe for seduction, and Chuck gets out his phone to call Sarah, but Carina knocks it away. She asks if he's having sex with Sarah, and does he know about Bryce, Sarah's old boyfriend?

The next day Chuck is non-responsive as Sarah briefs him on mission plans. They're going to a party at Peyman's seaside mansion to steal the diamond. She tells him to stick close to her because Carina's impulsive and not to be trusted. Once, Sarah had to dig Carina out of big trouble in Pakistan. Chuck's relieved, admitting Carina told him something which must not be true. But when he mentions what he heard about her Bryce, he can see it in Sarah's eyes - it was complicated. Chuck comments that for a spy Sarah's not very good at lying.

At the party, Carina tells Chuck that she knows Sarah must have said she's impulsive, but he should trust her anyway. She points out Peyman at the pool in swim trunks - the Wookiee. Sarah scolds Carina for blowing her cover with Chuck. Carina fires back, telling Sarah she should keep her work and private lives separate. Carina breaks into a bedroom, as Chuck wonders if this was the kind of thing Sarah and Bryce used to do.

The diamond is in a protected chamber filled with antiquities where Peyman and his goons find Chuck, Sarah and Carina. Peyman's not worried - if anyone tries to steal anything, the chamber locks down and gas is piped in. When Sarah lures Peyman into the hall, Chuck has a flash and warns Carina that the diamond's pedestal is charged with 40,000 volts. She needs compressed air to knock the diamond off. Carina grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays the diamond off its pedastal. All hell breaks loose as Chuck grabs the diamond.

Chuck, Sarah and Carina escape to the beach. Not trusting Sarah, Chuck tosses the diamond to Carina, who rips off her dress and escapes on a jet ski. Sarah's pissed off, but Casey has a tracker on Carina's phone, and promises to retrieve the diamond. Carina stops by the hotel and bumps into Morgan. When she spies Casey, she pulls Morgan into a kiss and drops the diamond in his bag, then tells him their affair is over. Casey ransacks Carina's hotel room looking for the diamond, but she once again pulls off her clothes to seduce him.

After work, Sarah benches Chuck, and proceeds to Carina's hotel, where she finds Casey handcuffed to the bed, but no sign of Carina. Chuck drowns his sorrows in X-box with Morgan, telling him about his first fight with Sarah. If she had only told him the truth... Morgan tells Chuck to get a new X-box game in his bag, and Chuck finds the diamond. Chuck has another flash - the diamond belongs to an Afghani terrorist group, and is more dangerous than they originally thought.

With Peyman's gun in her back, Sarah calls Chuck, asking him to find Carina and bring the diamond to the hotel. A black clad ninja attacks Chuck, but he recognizes Carina. She wants the diamond, but doesn't want to help Sarah, so Chuck reminds her that Sarah saved her life. At the hotel, Peyman tells Carina she's surrounded. After exchanging a few words in what sounds like Russian, the girls fight all the goons as Chuck locks himself in an office with the diamond.

Chuck packs the diamond in a FedEx box and holds it over a mail chute as an armed goon breaks into the office. Casey knocks out the goon, and in the excitement, Chuck drops the box down the chute. Later, the General congratulates the team on a job well done as the package is delivered to her. Carina says her good-byes, trying once again to seduce Chuck, but only because she loves taking what Sarah wants. And she knows Sarah wants Chuck, even if Sarah doesn't know it yet.

Chuck brings pizza to Sarah's for a make-up dinner. He apologizes for his behavior on the mission, and admits he can understand why she went for Bryce. He just wishes that he could know one true thing about Sarah, like where she grew up or her middle name. Sarah looks sad and remains silent. When Chuck is out of earshot, she says her middle name is Lisa, but he doesn't seem to hear.
