At Castle, our gang wonders how The Mummy knew about the computer, and who else knows about it. Chuck grabs the laptop and says they can get some answers, but Agent Redhead pops up on the screen and tells him not to touch that computer. She says he wasn't contacted by Orion, but by Fulcrum. Her analysts believe Chuck walked into a Fulcrum trap. She says he put the whole operation in jeopardy. Chuck protests that the laptop might be the only way to contact Orion, so she has Casey grab the laptop. She says they can't take that risk. Her NSA technicians will inspect the computer. Chuck asks Sarah, "Please," but she says she's sorry, "Orders." Agent Redhead says she's coming in person to take over this operation since they've messed up so badly. She's hoping not to shut down Operation Bartowski because of one mistake, but if Fulcrum knows who he is, he should pack his bags and be prepared to leave with her. She says, "Tell your family and friends ... Tell them nothing." Is it just me, or is Agent Redhead one of the best recurring characters on TV right now?
Chuck's in the courtyard rehearsing what he will say to Agent Redhead to get her to help him find Orion using the laptop. Sarah and Casey come out and tell him the laptop is being contained. Chuck says he's certain this is really Orion, and not Fulcrum, and if he could get just "five to forty-five minutes" with her, he could convince the general. That's quite a range, there. Sarah says she doesn't want to see Chuck, and asks him to wait in his room. We hear her arrive with an entourage. Chuck apologizes to Sarah for not telling her about his search, but she says it's okay and says she'll explain it to Agent Redhead.
At the Buy More, Buster's telling Big Mike about the highly professional team (thirty or forty of them) who stormed the store and took the laptop. Lester and Jeff run up and say they came as soon as they heard, but Big Mike says no one called them. Lester's crying. He tells them that after the tab was closed at their bar, they saw the commotion. Big Mike tells Morgan they can't let Barclay get away with this. Big Mike asks to see Buster's face, which he's been hiding under an ice pack. It's all bruised up, so Big Mike says they'll go to Beverly Hills tonight, where he will get in with his managers' code and burn that "mother loving" store to the ground. The five of them march, astronaut-like, in slow motion. Morgan asks what they're doing, and Big Mike says, "Payback," which will be illegal.
