(S02E06) “Chuck vs. the Ex”

Jordana Brewster guest starred on tonight’s Chuck and flipped every one’s world around. With a three episode arch planned for Brewster, don’t expect things to settle down anytime soon.

Playing Chuck’s college ex Jill, the lines of reality and a cover story quickly blur for Chuck. After flashing on Jill’s Boss, Barkowski is put on assignment to date Jill, yet again, not only opening old wounds, but also ultimately exposing him as a CIA agent. With their romance rekindled and the relief that truth often brings, it appears that Sarah has been all but forgotten. In a world where conversations are tapped and scenes are aired on a closely watched monitor, heart break stings that much more.

On the up side, due to Chuck and Jill’s excellent team work Casey is brought back from the brink of death after being exposed to a poisonous virus that only Jill knows the antidote to. In the meantime Sarah takes down the bad guy and exposes a double crosser, putting them all in danger. With two more episodes in the works, expect to see Brewster’s character used as a pawn in this CIA game of truth and deceit.

Just when you think Chuck and Sarah are finally finding their way, an ex walks in. And you know what? I’m alright with that. Every ex adds flavor to the pot, and between you and I, it looks like things are about to get spicy.
