...or Ellie, for that matter, who's pissed, not just about the blown evening, but also about the fact that she's the one who got stuck babysitting Morgan. And you know, that reminds me, we have not seen nearly enough of Captain Awesome yet. Well, there was that tango in a towel, but while I certainly appreciated that, that's not what I'm talking about. Chuck digs himself out by saying that Sarah was sick; Ellie, offering her medical help, asks what was the matter, but is grossed out to hear that she has a spastic colon. Chuck: "I know! A girl that beautiful with a colon that spastic!" Hee. Ellie leaves, but not before reminding Chuck that the next night is their "very own October version of Mother's Day." He says he won't miss it, but she snits, "I never figured that you would pass on sizzling shrimp either." In other words, "It's going to take more than a spastic colon to save you again, Geek-o My Brother."

Buy More. Casey beckons Chuck up for a pedeconference, and Chuck reports a negative on flashes from the files. Casey says that's all right, as they're going to tail Mei-Ling that evening and see if anything they observe triggers Chuck's memory files. Chuck's psyched for his first stakeout, and asks what he should show up with, but Casey's like, "You just bring those pretty little files in your head, sweet thing." Chuck's affronted, saying he can offer more than just the Intersect. "For instance, what are we doing for tunes tonight? I can make a stakeout mix." Hee. Casey's little grin of disbelieving amusement is awesome, but then Big Mike appears and tells "John" he needs all the green shirts in his office immediately...

...and then he's telling everyone that sales are down, and the team needs motivation, so they're having a twenty-four-hour sales competition -- first prize is an iPhone, down to last prize, which is getting fired. Morgan won't shut up through this whole thing...

...and then he's biffing sales pitches and offending customers right and left, causing Big Mike to accost him and tell him he's the worst salesman he's ever seen: "Vultures are circling. Get it in gear!" I think Morgan's still got a chance of beating Casey, though. A customer who drops dead of a heart attack can't buy anything. Um, I'm guessing. Anyway, Morgan's freaked...

...so he goes to Chuck and asks for after-work help on his sales technique. Unfortunately, Chuck's got the stakeout (er, "plans with Sarah") that night, and the next night, he could only miss Mother's Day if it were a major national emergency. He looks at Morgan: "So...to speak." Hee. Morgan begs Chuck, even modifying the famous "Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi" line from Star Wars for his own purposes. Seems like the Nerd Honor Code would only allow you to bust that out like, twice in a lifetime, but I suppose he is pretty desperate. Chuck offers to try to wrap up with Sarah early enough to come back and help Morgan, and Morgan's psyched. Chuck, not so much.
