Chuck and Sarah are married and on a mission to steal an expensive vase from a man named Jean Claude (guest star Mark Hamill). It’s also Morgan’s first mission and he saves the day after he flashes…but then he accidentally breaks the vase!
Back at Carmichael Industries, Morgan works hard to fully restore the vase worth $6 million. Sarah’s worried they are spending too much on missions, but Chuck assures her that everything will be okay.
They get a new mission from a client to target Roger Bale (guest star Craig Kilborn) who steals & shares information from others. While doing undercover work on Roger, Morgan “zooms” (his version of “flashing”) on Roger’s suitcase.
Ellie tells Chuck that he’ll never be the intersect (he misses it!). Chuck is unsure if his new company will work without him being the intersect.
Chuck wants to play Roger in a game of squash but Casey wants Morgan to zoom on Roger instead. Chuck ends up being a masseuse instead. On the mission, Casey meets an old friend, Stark. Meanwhile, Morgan beats Roger during the game of squash! Sarah and Morgan get an invite for the party they need to attend. So basically, Morgan saved the day!
Back at the Buy More, Jeff returns in a wheelchair. Lester tells Morgan and Chuck that Jeff was trampled during a stampede for the Justin Bieber talking doll. But Morgan and Chuck aren’t buying it and it turns Jeff is faking it. Lesson learned: Morgan and Chuck need to spend more time at the Buy More.
Sarah thinks Chuck is keeping secrets from her which is true! Sarah finds out that Chuck was trying to surprise her with a dream home.
At the party, Morgan and Sarah are busy inside the party while Chuck is running surveillance outside in a van. Morgan flashes and danced with Sarah as a distracting for Casey to hack into the mansion’s mainframe. But Chuck gets caught by CIA agent Clyde Decker (guest star Richard Burgi). Morgan, Sarah, and Casey also get caught by Roger who discovers the computer hacking.
Chuck arrives at the party disguised as an IT guy helping Roger and his “fix” the computers. After Chuck reveals his real identity, Sarah, Morgan and Casey are freed leaving him inside the mansion with Roger. However, Chuck escapes after Sarah, Morgan, and Casey follow his directives left on a video message in the van.
Back at Carmichael Industries, the team gets the news that Roger’s been arrested! But Decker froze all the team’s money besides the Buy More and the castle. Chuck takes the news badly and takes off. At their potential dream home, Sarah finds Chuck and tells him they’ll bounce back. Chuck will take the Buy More’s income to fund their new missions, assuming the store will turn a profit.
