Predictable cut to Lou and Chuck making out in his car. I will say, though, that if she's un-self-conscious enough that she's willing to go for it in a vehicle with "NERD HERD" emblazoned on it, she gets points in an already-full plus column. Chuck finally has to put down the window to clear the steamy air, and I know I'm supposed to be rooting for Chuck and Sarah to get together, and I kind of am, but I'm sorry, as long as Rachel Bilson sticks around, she totally rules my heart. Lou says she doesn't usually do this, but would Chuck like to come inside? Oh, he would, and she says she's about to make him a very happy man...

...and I knew where this was going before we even cut to the shop, but first we hear Chuck groaning in satisfaction, and then we pan sideways to see him eating a large sandwich. Funny enough, but, like I said: predictable. However, things change when Chuck looks over at the bulletin board and sees a flyer for a place called "Club Ares" with the name "Stavros Demetrios" on it; he flashes to a Homeland Security file that identifies Stavros as a smuggler. Chuck asks Lou about it, and after a little hemming and hawing, she admits that Stavros is her ex-boyfriend, and he owns the place; also, he's kind of the insanely jealous type. "Believe me, the last thing you want is that lunatic swimming around in your head. In a file that you downloaded from the CIA." Well, not really, but it's about the only way that line could have been more on-the-nose. Credits.

The three operatives (I'm lumping Chuck in there from now on; it's easier) are getting a briefing about Stavros; he's a "handsome" (having seen him at this point, I'm thinking it's been a while for the General) playboy who owns a bunch of L.A. clubs, and is the son of "Yari Demetrios," the shipping magnate. Also, they know that a volatile package is on its way to L.A., and the cargo is time-sensitive, which, given the Demetrios's connections to the Middle East, could definitely indicate a weapon. Sarah tells Chuck they'll need him to get as close to Stavros as possible. Three-way it is, then. Chuck doesn't want to drag Lou into it, but is overruled.
