Storyline

Captain Awesome ultimately accepts to let the nerd herd join his bachelor party when they offer to host it for free in the Buy More, which ends up producing compromising pictures Ellie gets to see. Even worse for Devon, his hospital badge is missing, a firing offense. Chuck has to impersonate him to plant a tracking device in a top-wanted Pakistani terrorist's right hand's heart, with his personal physician Dr. Mohammed Zamir keeping a watchful eye. During the operation, Chuck proves that he functions perfectly in the team despite of even better because of his close relationship with Sarah, contrary to agent Alex Forrest, whom the general sent to test them.

Goofs

In Alex Forrest's Swedish passport the birth date is 29 Jul 1974 and the personal number is 790729-9361. However, the first six digits of a personal number are the birth date in yymmdd format, so it should be 740729-9361.

User Reviews

How comedy drama should be

What I love about this episode is it glides effortlessly from start to finish, blending comedy with drama beautifully. This truly is Chuck showing the world how to make great TV. The only downfall is you never quite believe anything bad will happen.

When you become attached to the characters, particularly on the first viewing, situations that affect these relationships induce high levels of anxiety. In this reviewer it did anyway.

This episode sees Sarah being replaced by a new handler due to an evaluation of her performance.

At the same time to replace the buy more side of things, it is Awesome's batchelor party.
