Casey and Sarah have an argument over who's getting custody of Chuck. Mom and Dad, please don't fight! Chuck overhears a bit of this, and insists they leave his family and friends out of the equation. He realizes that the agents need him, and with that, declares his intention to go home. The next morning, Chuck is sitting on the beach in the early sun when Sarah finds him; she tells him she's been there all night, which means he didn't go home. Liar! Chuck ruefully notes there's nowhere he can run, and says he can't figure out why Bryce chose him for this. He asks what happens now, and Sarah tells him he'll go back to his life, and they'll protect him while he works with them. This scene is cut with Chuck arriving home to have Ellie and Morgan animatedly chide him for making them worry. Sarah tells Chuck to keep his family and friends in the dark, and then Captain Awesome comes out in his scrubs on his way to work and stops to participate in the group hug going on in the living room, which he calls "awesome." Hee. Sarah asks Chuck to trust her. We see a shot of her back in her hotel looking at camera-photos of Bryce with tears in her eyes, and then she and Chuck sort of smile at each other. The episode ends with Chuck having a hilarious slo-mo face-off with his work rival, Chuck applying for an assistant manager job, and Chuck going to meet the new trainee -- Casey. HA! Also, Sarah's shopping in the store, and as Chuck passes by her, he gets some images of her killing some dudes on an assignment. Chuck, to himself: "Don't freak out." Why not? This show is awesome!
