Storyline

Premier Alejandro Fulgencio Goya of Central American Coast Gravas, who survived three murder attempts by Casey, won the White House's favor by promising to announce election. So now the team must protect him while in California for life-saving heart surgery, performed awesomely by Devon. Gratefully, he insists to invite the Woodcomb couple and Chuck fro a gala ball in his consulate. This proves most dangerous for everybody, as the Ring has its own agenda.

Trivia

It's possible that the creative team had fun with the country name, Costa Gravas. It might be a wink to writer-director Costa-Gavras, noted for his political conspiracy thrillers such as Z and Missing.

Goofs

When Casey tells Chuck that the Premier has AB negative blood, Chuck and Awesome start asking everyone in the room if they have AB negative blood. In that dire of a situation, it wouldn't be absolutely necessary for the Premier to receive AB negative blood, as long as the donor's RH factor was also negative. AB blood types can accept blood from anyone, as long as the RH factor doesn't interfere. (People with positive blood types can accept positive or negative blood, and people with negative blood types can only receive negative blood)

User Reviews

Not much shopping action

An enjoyable episode with some great individual parts. But without a complementing Buy More part, it just didn't feel as good.

What annoys me on a second run through that lets me take in more, is how the Sarah chuck relationship goes from love to indifference between episodes.

Last episode Sarah saw the full Chuck disclosure on why he did what he did and it felt as if Sarah completely understood. Yet this episode, it appears out might completely off again, as if something in the future might turn up to put a spanner in the works.
