Storyline

Chuck is finally ready to be accredited as special agent. His hesitation to commit for life subsides when he's allowed to pick a team for his new posting, three years in Rome posing as a millionaire. To his horror, Sara prefers to go to DC with Shaw, believing his red test proves him a killer, no longer the man she fell for, and telling the truth would betray life-savior Casey. The Ring director set a trap for Shaw, who thinks he volunteers to sacrifice his life to wipe out the LA ring HQ, but is actually motivated to defect.

Goofs

Brigadier General Beckman commits a number of uniform errors: 1) She wears her ribbons in the wrong order. She displays the Global War on Terror Expeditionary Medal and the Global War on Terror Sevice Medal at a lower order of precedence than the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Government of Kuwait). United States Military Awards are always given higher precedence than foreign military awards on any US Military uniform. She also wears the Humanitarian Service Medal ahead of her Global War on Terror Medals. This medal is of lower precedence than any of her campaign medals. 2) She wears her service jacket with the tab of the left epaulet over her collar. The tab is always tucked under the collar.

User Reviews

Over Sara

I like this show, and overall, it's very good. But I am over Sarah's emotional constipation. Chuck has professed his love for her many times, and although we all know she loves him, she won't admit it. And now, she's a hypocrite. She tells Chuck she can't be with him because he killed someone. But she has killed many people through her career. If she would give him a chance, she'd see that he is the same person he's always been. She won't listen to him and give him the benefit of the doubt about the killing.

Disappointing that she hops into a relationship with Shaw so quickly. And even more disappointing that she rubs that in Chuck's face.
