and now on to the recap
(remember that spoiler warning on the first episode...yeah it applies here too)
(recap which includes Karina from season 1)
After this recap we see a man with a case running and some men following him, one shoots him and the man obviously in charge takes the case.
Sarah and Karina are at a club talking and she mentions that Sarah has broken the spy rule, and we then go to Chuck and Morgan who are sitting in his living room, Morgan telling him that he’s broken the carnal break up rule. Morgan then convinces Chuck they should go out for the night.
We soon find out that they have gone to the same club that Sarah and Karina are at, and that Karina’s boyfriend is Carl (played by Vinnie Jones), the man we saw earlier taking down the man with the case. Flash. Carl is an arms dealer. Chuck has a new mission.

Big Mike is back, sporting a pin striped suit, making him look a bit like the Buy More Mack Daddy. He tells him that they no longer “know the meaning of the word no.”
Morgan stands at the nerd herd area and he asks Chuck if there’s anything on the guy with Karina but Chuck tells him no. Lester and Jeff come over to tell him that no one that he’s described like that can be into him. We then see Karina walking in, Morgan getting excited, but she walks past him and to Chuck.
The four spies are meeting and speaking to the general where Karina has a plan, and Casey opposes going undercover as Karina’s father, but settles for her uncle, “her father’s much younger brother”, and like all missions this one rests on Chuck’s shoulders
In the Buy More staff room, Lester and Jeff try to get Morgan to ask Karina out, which leads to him planning to have a ‘party.’
At Chuck’s house Morgan talks to Chuck as he gets ready for his ‘date’ with Sarah.
Sarah then proceeds to get ready herself, and she and Karina talk put on jewelry and make up. Sarah asks her if she ever thought it “this was all real” That this was actually Karina’s engagement party to which Karina replies “No” and cocks a gun, hiding it on her person under her dress.
Back to Chuck and Morgan, Morgan hands him a flyer to give to Karina….a housewarming party.
At the engagement party things are in motion, and Casey is introduced as Uncle Johnny, sporting a wig, a fake mustache, and some glasses. After introductions and a quick hello between everyone, Chuck pulls Sarah aside to talk. Karina sees this and after Sarah walks off she grabs Chuck telling him that he’s “ruining her mission.” Chuck tells her that ever since Prague Sarah’s been cold, and it’s then Karina informs him that Sarah’s cold “because she loves him.”

Chuck runs after Sarah to tell her what Karina has told him, but she tells him that they need to focus on the mission.
In a room Carl and Karina have a short conversation and as she hugs him she slips something to Sarah as she walks by.
On the steps Carl gives a toast, as Chuck and Sarah sneak about the house. The toast is too quick, so Karina stalls by having ‘Uncle Johnny’ speak. As he gives his speech, Chuck and Sarah find the room they need. A room filled with sensitive beams that would set off the alarm. The fact that Chuck can’t flash has him believing he can’t do it, but after some encouraging words…flash. Chuck is able to maneuver into the middle of the room on to the table, where he attempts several ways to get to the other side to the case. It ends up being a handstand and flip back that does the trick. Going back through, an out of breath Chuck tells them “that they could talk now”, but he accidentally hits a beam, closing the vault and locking him in.
Two men downstairs see that the vault alarm has gone off and go to investigate. Sarah tells Chuck that she’s going to get him out, that’s when gas starts to fill the room. Taking off the air grate, Sarah crawls inside to rescue Chuck as he tries to explain why he did what he had in Prague and what Karina had told him earlier. As Sarah gets the door of the vault open, Chuck falls forward into her simply saying “I love you”

Chuck is still knocked out with an I.V. and they are told that what’s in the case is something that “they haven’t seen.” Karina grabs the case and reminds Sarah of her offer (to join her on her next mission.) Chuck has woken up, unnoticed and hears this and as Sarah talks to the general, believing that Chuck is in more danger with her around. The general tells her to get over it, and Sarah tells Chuck that training is going to begin.
Sarah is teaching him to fight with a staff, but Chuck is half in it, and she keeps telling him to flash, but he can’t. He wants to talk, but she tells him that spies don’t have feelings. She wants him to hit her, but he can’t…he won’t. She swipes him underneath the leg sending him to the ground.
Outside of the Buy More, Carl has been following Karina, who goes inside and hands the ‘case’ to Morgan to give to Chuck. He agrees to as long as she promises to go to the housewarming party and hands her a flyer. She tries to get away from Carl’s cronies, but it’s no use and the two have a heart to heart, where Carl tells her that he believes her to be a spy. When she tries to deny this he shows her a surveillance video of Chuck, in which he calls Karina a “cold spy, throwing out words and emotions like love.” Karina mutters that she’s going to “kill Bartowski” but Carl holds up the party flyer with a picture of Chuck and Morgan and says that he’s “going to kill him, but don’t worry you’re next”
(commercial break: this one features another Honda/Olympics commercial with Ellie, Awesome’s, and Morgan’s trip to Vancouver)
The Housewarming Party is in full swing, and Lester and Jeff inform Morgan that Karina’s there. Carl and his cronies are with her, and Jeff calls the party a “sausage fest.” Carl asks if this is the Bartowski apartment and they shove their way past the three Buy More employees inside.
Morgan calls Chuck to tell him that Karina is there and what happened, and that he’s going to go after her. Chuck advises him not to saying it’s “dangerous-ly uncool.”
Jeff and Lester decide to challenge them all to a drinking contest, and as another drunk guy comes in Karina slips something into the drink in the confusion, but since neither Carl or the cronies don’t take the drinks, Lester and Jeff do and are knocked out.
Watching everything unfurl, Casey is ready with the guns, but Chuck convinces him not to go out like that because Karina’s still alive and Carl doesn’t know where the case is. This is all put in jeopardy as Morgan finally gets the courage to talk to Karina and talk he does. He goes off on Karina, and he opens the table the drinks were on and takes out the gold case, telling her that “if she wants Chuck to have it she needs to take it to him herself” and shoves the case at Carl. Picking up the last drink he takes a sip and turns and takes a step before he’s knocked out, landing next to Lester.
There has to be a plan B. A ‘button’ that they push as Chuck likes to say and Casey is “the button.” Dressed in a robe he gets the water hose, spraying and telling everyone to get out and go. Karina, Carl, the cronies, Sarah, Chuck, and Casey are in the area, that is now empty, guns drawn on each other, Carl’s on Karina’s. Chuck convinces Sarah and Casey to put their guns down, before he tosses what is possibly a small flair into the fountain as a distraction.
This doesn’t do much and Chuck tries to get Carl to let Karina go, but we learn that Karina has broken Carl’s heart. After a speech about how it might have been the first time Carl’s been in love and that it’s hard because of his profession (Chuck obviously speaking from experience) Karina tells him that “she fell in love with him.” but of course this is a croc and she knocks him out stating “yeah right, spies don’t fall in love.”

Chuck, Sarah, and Casey are being debriefed by the general and Chuck tried to mess with the case, but she tells him not to, that he doesn’t need to flash, and that she’s just glad it’s back in safe hands.
In the general’s office we see her talking to someone named Shaw and telling them that they need to tell them…of course we don’t know what.
Outside Chuck is cleaning up and Sarah tells him that he did his job, he talked Carl down, and had done so because of his emotions. He continues on cleaning up, yelling at Morgan that he’s “cleaning up his mess” and “he hopes it was worth it.”
We then see that it was very well worth it to Morgan who’s had a night of lovin’ with Karina, because no one’s ever told him no, and she thinks “that’s sexy.”
Karina is about to leave, but before she does she gives Sarah a going away present, a zip drive, which Sarah plugs into the computer. What’s on it is the surveillance video from when Chuck was locked in the vault. Sarah watches as Chuck tells her that his reason for being a spy was because it was something bigger than himself. He was doing it for “my friends, my family, for you, because Sarah, I love you.”
