Chuck Versus the Wookie is another pretty good episode of "Chuck"

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Some steam was picked up with this episode because of the presence of rouge spy Corrina (Mini Alden). An occasional partner to Sarah and, apparently, lover to Casey, she shakes things up by agreeing to "double date" with Morgan, Chuck and Sarah by watching a movie on TV while planning a heist of a stolen diamond. Chuck, displeased to learn that Sarah was another girl that loved his late ex-roommate from college Brice, decides to trust Corrina this time around. Big mistake. I'll stop there and mention how I loved the fights between Corrina and Sarah. I also loved seeing how weak Casey is whenever Corrina strips for some lovemaking especially when he's tied up in bed! And Morgan is less irritating here as he first finds himself in love with the bad agent then tries to recover when she drops him. And the way she comes on to Chuck! You know what he'd like to do to her if there wasn't Sarah around! Sarah herself gets some points for revealing her middle name to us if not to Chuck: Lisa. Like last week's episode, the dialogue between characters was more interesting than the actual plot but that's enough for now. Will be back here next week...
