The cards certainly seemed to be stacked in favor of the Chuck cast during last night’s episode. Not only did our titular hero manage get lucky with two gorgeous gals –- Sarah, as well as deli owner Lou (Rachel Bilson, pictured) –- but Morgan sealed the deal with Buy More coworker Anna Wu, too. If that weren’t enough, Sarah and Chuck avoided getting blown up by a suspicious piece of cargo, and the luckiest of them all -– Bryce! -– somehow managed to reverse/dodge/cheat death altogether.
Yep, that’s right. As all you smarty pants predicted last week, the character we had long accepted as dead came back to life this week, rivaling Frankenstein in the plugs-and-wires department. (“It’s aliiiiiiive!”) And Bryce sure seems to have perfect timing; the one guy responsible for screwing with Chuck’s happiness over the past few years shows up just as the Nerd Herder and Sarah are starting to make their fake relationship a reality. But can we blame Chuck’s writers for the twist? What kind of self-respecting series can’t successfully sustain will-they-won’t-they sexual tension for at least a full season?
