(S02E15) “Chuck vs. the Lethal Weapon”

He may be sexy. He may be sweet. He may even have a  butt kickin’ accent. But is it just me, or does that new spy Cole, played by Johnathan Cake, on Chuck look like he has the makings to be one of Chuck’s biggest threats yet?

Having proved his loyalty to the team by suffering extreme torture in order to keep Chuck’s true identity as the intersect a secret, for some reason, I just wasn’t buying it like Sarah, Casey and even the hopeless Chuck were. I mean we didn’t really see him escape from Fulcrum now did we? Perhaps he promised them a little information in exchange for his freedom. Lesser things have happened.

Additionally, now that he knows he’ll never get Sarah the girl he’s been lusting over since her heart still belongs to Chuck, that makes Chuck potential enemy numero uno. As they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. With an in that very few have to Chuck’s mind, Cole can’t get much closer than that.

On the less sinister side, Chuck is finally one step closer to living a normal life void of random intelligence flashes. I’m hoping that as a season finally we meet the intersects creator Orion, who surely, holds all of the answers. Additionally, I’m delighted to find Morgan is moving in (literally) to a more mature relationship with Anna. Now if only poor Chuck could settle into that same kind of comfortable loving relationship. Sadly it’s hard-knock hearts in the world of spies.
