Whack-A-Mole

Sarah breaks into Chuck's house the morning of the big test and, of course, she is proctoring his exam, because that makes way more sense then having Mr. In Charge Shaw do it. Chuck tries to make small talk, but Sarah slaps him around and tells him to focus. She hands Chuck his mission, which is wrapped in a blue sparkly bubble pack. The CIA probably got a discount at Hallmark if they bought in bulk. A recording of the General tells Chuck that his mission is to track down a CIA mole who has been passing Top Secret information to a man named Anatole. The mole has caused the death of civilians and agents. They believe Anatole is meeting the mole tonight at a hotel. Chuck needs to follow Anatole and identify the mole. If Chuck completes the mission successfully, he gets to be a real spy. Before Chuck can ask any more questions of the recording, the machine self-destructs. Which impresses Chuck with its frisson of espionage, which sounds like a perfume, but isn't. Chuck tries to get sentimental with Sarah over this, their last mission together, but even if she is vaguely feeling it, she's too good of a spy and a girlfriend to let it show. Chuck doesn't seem to notice that she keeps shutting him down, though.

Back at the Buy More, Big Mike is eating a Subway sandwich in his underwear while his tailor points out that he is losing weight. Did you get that? SUBWAY MAKES YOU LOSE WEIGHT. I'll admit the message is more palatable when it's Big Mike in lieu of Jarred, but still, WE GET IT. Big Mike has taken Casey under his massive managerial wing and has decided that if the clothes make the man, then Casey needs a makeover. Sometimes the Buy More scenes are so doofy they are hard to watch. Like, can we just get back to the spying already? Chuck has a mole to catch that is much more interesting than Big Mike's foray into Sun Tzu's Art of War -- Now With More Tailoring. As Big Mike eats his sandwich, Casey expresses doubts about the plan, but Big Mike insists. Since Casey apparently has no career alternatives, he takes a big sigh and steps up to be measured. While Big Mike watches. While eating a Subway foot-long sub. Which makes this scene sort of fetishistic.
