Several years prior to the start of the series, Chuck Bartowski was a student at Stanford, dating a girl named Jill. However, his friend Bryce Larkin, a fellow student, got him kicked out of Stanford, and stole his girlfriend. Since then, Chuck moved back in with his sister, Ellie, and her boyfriend, Devon Captain Awesome Woodcomb in Burbank, CA. He also took a job as a Nerd Herd associate at his local Buy More (a parody of Geek Squad and Best Buy, respectively), where he works with his best friend, Morgan. Contents [hideshow] 1. Season 1 (Contains Spoilers): 2. Season 2 (Contains Spoilers): Season 1 (Contains Spoilers):In the Pilot episode, Chuck accidentally downloads the Intersect (a computer created jointly by the CIA and the NSA to hold all their secrets) into his brain, after he receives an e-mail from his old friend/nemesis Bryce Larkin. Bryce Larkin is shot by Major John Casey, but not before he destroys the original Intersect, leaving Chuck's brain with the only copy of all the nation's secrets. Chuck, unaware of this, finds himself knowing things he shouldn't know, as the events around him trigger the Intersect and give him flashes of information. His life is changed forever when a girl walks into the Buy More, and he asks her out. What he doesn't know is that this girl, Sarah Walker, is a CIA agent tasked to protect him. The NSA also sends an agent, Casey, who is not as friendly. When Casey's men attack Chuck and Sarah in a club, Sarah is forced to reveal her identity to him, and explain what is going on. While Sarah and Casey are busy pointing their guns at each other, Chuck realizes what the information he's been flashing on all day means: a terrorist is planning on killing a US general. Chuck is able to convince Sarah and Casey of the danger, and the three of them are able to disarm the bomb and apprehend the terrorist. Seeing that leaving Chuck alive can be beneficial, NSA General Beckman and CIA Director Graham decide to allow Chuck to continue living his normal life, with a couple of slight changes. Casey is stationed in Burbank, working at the Buy More. Also Sarah is living in Burbank, posing as Chuck's girlfriend.Over the course of the season, Chuck has to go on missions, learn to trust his handlers, and still go to work, all while lying to his friends and family, for their own protection, and trying to get the Intersect out of his head. As the season progresses, Chuck develops feelings for Sarah, who is later revealed to have previously dated Bryce Larking. At one point, a mission forces Chuck to return to Stanford where he discovers that the CIA had been planning on recruiting him five years previously, and that Bryce got him kicked out in order to protect him. On another mission, the team is poisoned with a truth serum. Chuck, not knowing that Sarah is trained to resist the effects of the serum, asks if she sees any sort of future with him. When she says no (a lie) he breaks up with her, and begins a relationship with Lou, the owner of a local deli.Believing that an arms dealer is smuggling a bomb into the country, Chuck, Casey, and Sarah follow the lead to the port, where they engage the bad guys. As Casey and a SWAT team hold them off, Chuck and Sarah try to find and defuse the bomb. They find it, but are unable to disarm it. Thinking they are about to die, Sarah passionately kisses Chuck, leaving them in an awkward position when the bomb doesn't explode. Realizing that Sarah has feelings for him, Chuck breaks up with Lou. Back at the docks, Sarah and Casey examine the bomb, which it turns out was not a bomb, but merely a container with a timer on it. When they open the container, they find inside Bryce Larkin, unconscious, but alive.Bryce reveals to the team that he had not, as was believed, gone rogue, but was merely following orders. He explains that Fulcrum, a clandestine criminal organization within the CIA is after the Intersect. Fulcrum saved his life, after Casey shot him, because they believed that he had downloaded the Intersect himself. He leaves, going undercover to take down Fulcrum, and offers Sarah the chance to go with him. Sarah considers, but decides to stay with Chuck.At the end of the season, a Fulcrum agent realizes that Chuck is the Intersect, prompting General Beckman and Director Graham to order Chuck put into lockdown. Believing that they are acting unfairly and unnecessarily, Sarah is prepared to go rogue in order to defend Chuck, but they are able to capture the Fulcrum agent, averting the crisis. Meanwhile, the CIA and NSA's new Intersect nears completion.Season 2 (Contains Spoilers):The team recovers the Cipher, which is the brain of the new Intersect, from Fulcrum. With the new Intersect complete, Operation Bartowski is over, and Chuck is free to return to his life. Before she leaves Chuck asks Sarah on a real date, and she agrees. As they prepare, General Beckman and Director Graham order Casey to eliminate Chuck. Although he disagrees, Casey accepts his orders. However, the Cipher was a Trojan Horse, and explodes as soon as it is activated, killing Director Graham. With Chuck the only Intersect once again, Operation Bartowski is reopened. Although this means that Casey no longer has to kill him, it also means that Chuck and Sarah can't date for real, and their relationship has to remain strictly a cover.Over the course of this season, Team Bartowski battles Fulcrum, Chuck tries to track down his father, and it becomes clear to everybody that Chuck and Sarah are in love except, of course, for them. Their relationship (or rather, pronounced lack of a relationship) is threatened when Chuck's ex, Jill, returns. She gets pulled into one of their missions, and Chuck is forced to reveal to her that he works for the government, although he doesn't tell her that he is the Intersect. They resume their relationship, in secret (to the world at large, Chuck is still dating Sarah), but it all comes crashing down when they discover that Jill works for Fulcrum. Still, Chuck was planning on letting Jill escape, but when she tried to kill Sarah, he arrested her.Chuck and Sarah go undercover as a married couple, into the suburbs, where they discover that Fulcrum is building their own intersect. They destroy it, and kill or incapacitate all the Fulcrum agents, but not before Chuck downloads Fulcrum's Intersect into his brain. Chuck discovers that the creator of the Intersect is named Orion, and attempts to contact him. Unfortunately, Fulcrum gets to him first, and Orion is apparently killed. Chuck discovers that Orion, prior to his death, gave him the plans to the Intersect, which he begins to study in secret.Believing that Chuck and Sarah's feelings for each other are a liability, General Beckman sends a replacement agent, a woman who has a personality frighteningly similar to Casey's. However, when Sarah's relationship with Chuck allows her to save his life, as well as neutralize a terrorist cell, she is reinstated as his handler. She then uses her CIA connections to help Chuck find his father.(In progress, please do not edit - December 5, 2011) Show less «
