Chuck and Sarah are on their fake date with Ellie and Awesome at a sushi bar. I guess because it is a fake date, they have opted to sit at the counter in a row instead of at a table talking to each other. Chuck orders a crab handroll for Sarah, because he knows she likes them from Kaplan Fake Date Prep beforehand. Awesome thinks it's cute how old-fashioned they are, but he's not talking about the ordering. Oh, no. He is talking about the fact that they haven't made sweet sweet love yet. Ellie looks intrigued. Yeah, I talk about that stuff with my siblings, like, um, never. As Awesome continues embarrassing everyone at the counter, Ellie offers Sarah some edamame, Sarah wipes something off Ellie's sleeve, and Chuck asks if Ellie is ever going to retire her sweater. Nice work, team! Olympic-quality subject-changing. Ellie says that she is keeping her sweater, because it is her lucky sweater and she met Awesome when he asked if LL Bean stole the color from her eyes. Which is a really odd pick-up line, but whatever works. As they stand outside the restaurant, Mr. Blue stumbles down the sidewalk in front of them and collapses. Doctor Ellie springs into action and gets the guy into an ambulance. Chuck is so proud that he shouts her full name to the crowd and, of course, to Mr. Stripey, who is standing right there. Traffic grinds to a halt as everyone rubbernecks at the stupidity of that scene. Finally, a TV Cop pulls up and gets traffic going: Move it along, folks. Totally normal plot contrivance! Nothing to see here! They had to make the plot work somehow! Ellie shoves Mr. Blue's wallet at Chuck and tells him to look for a medical ID. When Chuck pulls it from the wallet, he flashes on it. Mr. Blue is not such a nice guy. And he has just slipped the necklace with the codes into Ellie's lucky sweater.
Chuck and Sarah are at the apartment, anxiously waiting for Ellie to get back from the hospital. Captain Awesome is exer-cycling in the background, which is a great thing to do when you have company. Since Sarah is at the apartment past curfew, Awesome gives Chuck a sex pep talk since its been a while since he "took his bike out for a ride" and he needs to "keep his chain oiled." And...ew. Ellie walks in and saves us all from further Awesomeness. Ellie announces that although they tried everything, the guy died. When Ellie retires to bed, Chuck tells Sarah that his real life and his spy life are getting too close for comfort. Sarah tells him to chill and then calmly announces that it is time they made love. You know, for the sake of the cover. That may be a worse line than the one about LL Bean. But, you know, whatever works.
