Chuck is still reeling from the discovery that his ex-girlfriend Jill was a Fulcrum agent and goes on a mission to take his mind of off his shock. Casey gets a shock of his own when he finds out that his sensei Ty Bennett, who taught him everything he knows, is now one of the most wanted rogue agents. While on the search for Bennett, it becomes clear that Casey may be too emotionally involved to continue with the mission. Meanwhile, Awesome’s parents Honey and Woody make a surprise visit to help Ellie and Awesome plan their wedding. At the Buy More, Emmett reinstates the employee of the month contest, but Morgan, Jeff and Lester have other plans.

Quotes
Chuck: Yeah, well the thing is, Casey doesn’t really have a calm center. It’s more of an angry center.
Sarah: Chuck, does the Global Launch Agency mean anything to you?
Chuck: GLA? Sure, they’ve sent probes to every planet except Pluto. Although Pluto’s not officially a planet anymore, which really bums me out.
Casey: It’s true. Space camp is where all the cool kids go.
Beckman: So Bennett got away. Again. If you don’t mind me asking, where was the Intersect during all of this?
Chuck: Well, technically, I was in Bennett’s trunk, so I didn’t see anything that happened but it sounded very exciting.
Emmett: The employee with the highest level of customer service is…Skip Johnson. (Laughs)
Skip: This is not my fault, I tried to be a jerk.
Chuck: (after freezing his shackles and freeing himself) Those seven years of MacGyver finally paid off.
