Chuck: Season 5, Episode 10 “Chuck Versus Bo” (B+)
With just three more installments left after this, it’s about time that someone besides Chuck got serious about getting out of the spy business. Exits are never easy, and preparing officially for “one last mission” is never as simple as it seems. Offering Casey Ronald Reagan’s office space is a smart way to convince him, but what really needs to be resolved is this seemingly endless supply of Intersect glasses lying around. I guess that Morgan and Alex needed one more clarification that they really do love each other, with minor hiccups presented by Dale, Bo Derek, and talk of rainbows. It’s fun to have a guest like Derek, particularly for the mockery it inspired from Sarah after hearing about his poster. Morgan heading to the Buy More in Colorado was entertaining, which of course made Casey’s efforts to get rid of the creepy cousin in the family all the more difficult. The subplot of Jeff and Lester tailing them was amusing, and I’m glad it ended simply and smoothly with Casey and Morgan finally figuring out how to steer them wrong after two failed attempts. Letting the bad guy get away, however, didn’t do them many favors, as Chuck has now been captured, prompting Sarah and Casey to go in guns blazing after him. Sarah’s decision to put on the Intersect glasses was almost unavoidable, and, while it seems that everyone has been turning into the Intersect lately, Sarah is much better-equipped than anyone else to have it, with a perfect blend of serious spy skill and heart.
