Chuck Vs. The Big Dilemma

[Chuck opens with a montage of clips showing what previously happened as Big Mike handed the proverbial torch of Buy More leadership over to Chuck. Team Chuck being briefed on the return of Vuc Audric who tried to eliminate General Stanfield with a only to be thwarted by Mr. Chuck Bartowski. Cut to several moments later and you find out that not only Audric has returned with a partner no less, but also the infamous Jill Anderson, Chuck’s ex. You essentially find out that she want to meet with Chuck so they can discuss an important matter, but before that happens Team Chuck must stop Audric and his comrade in arms from fulfilling his duty. Cut to several moments later, you see an altercation between Casey, Sarah, and Audric as Chuck deals with Bratislav, as well as, a large that he eventually finds after using a tazer on him. You see Audric being killed but before he dies he presses the stick that activates the in the van in which Chuck sprays several tanks of liquid nitrogen on/into the itself causing it to freeze in the last few seconds of possibly exploding. Several moments later you see Abe becoming the new leader of the nerd herd and then come to the climax of the entire episode in which Jill shows up to reveal to Chuck that after 5 years she returns to show him the biggest surprise of all…his son. The scene begins with Chuck sitting on the beach late at night just looking at the reflection of the moon on the water with his hair blowing in the wind. You then flashback of the conversation between a standing Chuck and Jill who sitting on the side of the fountain in the courtyard]
Chuck: [pacing back and forth with angered tone]Five years…five…years…it took you this long to finally share this with me. [looks at Jill]My God… I have a son and for you to have deprived me of the chance to watch him grow up is absolutely inexcusable. [puts his hand on his heart]Do you know how that makes me feel?
Jill: [defensive tone]Make you feel? Did you ever consider how I may have been feeling at the time? I had to live with the regret of not telling you.
ChucK: [serious look]So why now after all these years and…oh…lest we forget...[points at Jill]...you choosing to throw my love for you away and be with my former roommate Bryce Larkin who got me kicked out Stanford.
Jill: [looks at Chuck]I don’t know…I just wanted Charlie to know who his father is and when it comes to Bryce…he was a mistake. However, let’s get something straight here…[points at Chuck]…Bryce never stole me away from you…I chose to be with him. You see, from how I remember it, things between us weren’t exactly going so well and the only person who I could turn to that could understand and make sense of it all was Bryce. When I told him that I was pregnant…
Chuck: [interrupts Jill]Whoa…whoa…whoa…Bryce new about this before I did? Why did you tell him first and not me.
Jill: [look s down and then at Chuck]I guess I was scared of how you would react to the news knowing you and Bryce were on the verge of possibly making it big creating your own updated version of Zork. I didn’t want Charlie to hold you back…so I decided to step out of the picture.
Chuck: [shaking his head as he gives an angry laugh]Unbelievable…you know what…I can’t even look at you right now.
[Cut to Chuck walking out of the courtyard with Jill standing there leading to the end of the flashback. You then see Chuck sitting on the beach and in the background you see Sarah walking up inevitably sitting down next to him]
Sarah: [looking straight ahead]Are you okay?
Chuck: [looking at the sand run through his fingers]Well…considering the fact that I just found out I have a son who didn’t see grow up the first 5 years of his life…I’m excellent.
Sarah: [looks at Chuck and grins]You’re lying
Chuck: Yeah I am…[looks at Sarah]...I’m sorry.
Sarah: [intrigued look]What do you have to be sorry about?
Chuck: [regretful tone]You put your trust in me and I end up having a secret…
Sarah: [interrupts Chuck]A secret that Jill chose to keep from you…hey…look at me…[Chuck looks at Sarah]This doesn’t change a thing between us. [Sarah smiles and then bumps Chuck leading them to share a moment together]
[The opening scene ends with Sarah and Chuck walking back into Casa Bartowski where you see Elllie in the kitchen and Jill w/Charlie sitting on the couch watching cartoons. Sarah joins Ellie in the kitchen who both see Chuck looks at Jill and then at Charlie. He then stands a few feet away from a standing Jill who motions for Charlie to do the same, which he does.

You then see Chuck walking around checking up on all his employees trying to keep busy in order to get his mind off what happened last night when all of a sudden Morgan runs up behind him]
Morgan: [frantic tone]Watermelon!
Chuck: [confused look]Watermelon?
Morgan: [looks around biting his fingernails]Yeah…watermelon…the code for an impossible event you can’t control.
Chuck: I thought we agreed the codename for that was pineapple?
[Cut to Jeff walking up holding a stack of Xbox games and hearing the codename. He drops the Xbox games and begins to freak out leading him to run towards the fire alarm. Morgan realizing what Jeff is doing runs after him and tackles him to the ground between the row of video games shelves]
Jeff: [turns to look at Morgan]Why did you stop me…Chuck said the codename.
Morgan: [looks at Jeff]I stopped you because its not a store crisis…I’m going through a major personal crisis.
[cut to Abe and Lester walking up and hearing what Morgan said]
Abe: [looking down at the both of them on the ground]What’s wrong son?
Lester: [looks at Morgan]What's the crisis…I bet they ran out of grape soda in the break room?
[cut to Morgan looking at Lester and then to Chuck who calms the situation down as he talks to Morgan]
Chuck: [snapping his fingers to get Morgan’s attention]Morgan…hey...can you explain to me codename Watermelon?
Morgan: [nervous tone as he looks around]As you know in 2 days is Valentine’s day and I have nothing…nada…to give to Anna. That is why I have been avoiding her at all cost and I come to you [looking at Chuck]oh Don Juan of nerds everywhere…give me an idea…anything.
Chuck: [looks at Morgan]Sorry Morg…I’ve been a bit pre-occupied with my own personal life as of late.
Morgan: Oh yeah…Jill coming back and not to mention…you have a son…wow. Listen….
[As he is about to say something he points at Anna who is in search mode of Morgan. Chuck, Abe, Lester, and Jeff look at Anna and then look at Morgan, but he isn’t there. You see him on the floor and starts crawling in order to avoid being seen by Anna]
Anna: [walking up and looking at the guys]Have you guys seen Morgan? I want to talk to him about our plans for Valentine’s Day.
Lester: [doing a stretching motion and pointing to Morgan’s location]No…I have no idea where he is.
Jeff: [motions with his head towards Morgan’s location]Nope…not a clue.
[Cut to Abe giving a weird look at Jeff and Lester then looks at Anna who isn’t really paying attention to them]
Chuck: [looks at Anna]Don’t worry Anna…knowing Morgan he’s probably on his hands knees as we speak working to surprise you with what he has planned.
Chuck: [looks at Jeff and Lester]Get back to work fellas and remember I still have the disc.
Lester: [looks at Chuck]We will regain what is rightfully ours Chuck…oh yes...we will.
[cut to Lester looking at Jeff and motioning him to get back to doing whatever they were doing]
Abe: [looks at Chuck]Want to talk about it son?
Chuck: [looks around]I have a big dilemma dad.
Abe: [puts his hand on Chuck’s shoulder]I know…being the guy that I know that you are you want to do what is right in taking care of your son you didn’t know you had, BUT you also want to be happy with Sarah and possibly start a family of your own with her.
Chuck: [looks at Abe]Man…is there anything you don’t know?
Abe: [thinking]Yeah…how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? [cut to Chuck laughing] I’m glad to see you smiling son…seriously though…have you decided what you’re going to do?
Chick: [looks at Abe] I don’t…
[As he is about to end his sentence he sees several men, one of which is in a black suit, looking around, leading him to flash on him seeing images such as weapons stockpile, money laundering, meeting with a Chinese figure head, Claudius Communications, and the name Desmond Claudius]

Beckman: Desmond Claudius…[picture shows up on screen]...a media mogul and considered a major power player in creating a media network that stretches around the world. You name it…his name will most likely be either on it or attached to it.
Chuck: [chimes in]He’s a regular Elliot Carver.
[cut everybody looking at Chuck]
Casey: [giving a serious look towards Chuck]What are you talking about now Bartowski?
Chuck: [nervous tone as he looks at everybody]Elliot Carver…Tomorrow Never Dies? He’s like your typical James Bond villain who wants to take over the world by use of his media empire…you know…[cut to everybody look at Chuck with blank stares]…never mind.
Graham: [speaks up]Mr. Bartowski, this is not a movie or read from scripts by any stretch of the imagination…this is real life and it should be treated as a serious matter.
Sarah: What intel do we have on Claudius General?
Beckman: [looking at file]According to credible sources Claudius is in Los Angeles he here to launch the opening of his new media based night club called Firestorm, which is considered a front for the real business at hand. From what we gathered, he’s uses the money to fund a network of threats that span all over the world. That’s not all…we also found information that personally links you to Claudius Mr. Bartowski.
Chuck: Me? How am I linked to one of the richest man on the planet?
Graham: [looks at Chuck]Do you know a Jill Anderson?
Sarah: [speaks up]What does Chuck’s ex-girlfriend have to do with this?
Beckman: Jill Anderson heads a computer systems analyst company called Everkwest Inc. Her company has been closely working with Claudius in the integration of software and system choices to help run faster and more efficiently.
Casey: [looks at Beckman]So what you’re saying is Bartowski job is to try get close to Jill in order to get close to Claudius?
[cut to Sarah with a look on her face of disdain concerning that idea, a look of apprehension on Chuck’s face, and a smirk on Casey’s face]

Chuck: [looks at Jill]I was hurt…you coming back after 5 years...not knowing the reason why… you leaving me for Bryce…the unexpected news of my son. Its all bit overwhelming to take in at one time.
Jill: [looking down]Yeah…those are things that I can never take back.
Chuck: However…you’re still the mother of my son and theirs is something you can give me. I [looks at Charlie playing]want to be part of his life.
Jill: [gives Chuck a look and touches his hand] I want that too.
[You then see a moment being shared between the two of them when all of sudden Sarah walks up to break the mood]
Sarah: [smiling]Hey guys,…Ellie said you would be here.
[cut to very awkward moment that leads Chuck to change the subject]
Chuck: Hey, I heard there is a night club opening up…its supposed to be innovative and totally tech savvy.
Jill: Oh yeah…my company was hired by this media mogul to look over their computer systems and see if everything checks out. If you want, I can get you, Sarah, and whoever else wants to go in. I’ll make sure to inform whoever is working at the front that you’re my guests.
Chuck: [Smiles, looks at Sarah and then at Jill]Awesome
[As he says that you hear a sudden scream and then crying. The camera cuts to Charlie who is bleeding from his forehead leading Chuck and Sarah to run quickly to him with Jill folowed behind with a hand full of paper towels that were in Jill’s purse to put over the wound.

Sarah: [speaks up]After laying low for several years, he’s resurfaced in Los Angeles and partnering with Desmond Claudius, which means…
Beckman: [finishes the sentence]Which means…unlimited resources, funds, and man power to pull it off once again and quite possibly be successful at it this time.

Sarah: Sorry about that…wasn’t really paying attention.
Abe: [looks through the window and then at Sarah] I understand…Listen Sarah…I can see it in his eyes that Chuck loves you with all his heart, but right he’s going through a dilemma. He’s caught between doing what is right and what he wants to do and that is be with you. If this situation never came about you would be in Jill’s place right now with Chuck holding your son. Look at me…[cut to Sarah looking down and then Abe lifting up her head with her chin]…I would be proud to have you as my daughter-in-law.
Sarah: [smiles and tears up]Thanks Abe

Casey: [looks at both of them with a smirk]Hope I’m not interrupting anything...I wouldn’t want to find out you were attracted to older men Walker…especially Bartowski’s dad.
[cut to Abe just laughing and Sarah rolling her eyes]
Sarah: What is it Casey?
Casey: [gives a serious look]I have something here that may interest you?
Abe: [curious look]What is it?
Casey: [holding up folder]DNA results concerning Chuck and Charlie.
Sarah: How did you…
Casey: [interrupts her]Walker…shut up and listen…Chuck is not Charlie’s biological father.
[You then cut to Abe and Sarah with a surprised look on their face leading all three to turn around and look through the window. The episode ends with Jill, Chuck, and Charlie standing together like a picture perfect family, then to a close up of Chuck holding/playing around with Charlie]
