Chuck "Chuck Versus the Bullet Train" S5E11

Chuck's being held hostage in Tokyo by Nikolai? Nikolai informs him that he's pretty sure Chuck is a dead man. Chuck starts to believe him, but Casey and Sarah are on the bullet train with them as they were smuggled in coffins. Clever! Sarah is trying to figure out how to break the news to Chuck that she is now the intersect. Casey keeps quizzing her to see if her mind is melting like Morgan's did. He is concerned.
Back at the Castle, Ellie, Awesome and Alex are treating Morgan like a lab rat trying to figure out where the intersect hurt him so they can help Sarah from the side effects. Morgan wants to be in the field with the team but they need him to diagnose the problems with the intersect.
Chuck tries a lame excuse to escape by using his wedding ring but Sarah breaks in and saves him. She flashes and beats the two guards with ease. Chuck's impressed. She doesn't have time to break the news to him so she just puts his ring back on him. But they don't get off the train in time. Chuck, Sarah and Casey are trapped on the train with Nikolai. Nikolai finds them but Sarah quickly entraps him into the coffin that she arrived in. Sarah accidentally mentions that she flashed and Chuck realizes what happened. Sarah and Casey are trying to figure out how to get off the train but Chuck is panicking since Sarah downloaded the same version that Morgan had in his head.
Morgan feels pretty damn useless as Ellie and Awesome try to analyze his brain activity. They grill him about what may have happened. They realize that there may be a correlation between number of flashes and brain deterioration.
Sarah assures Chuck that she will rid herself of the intersect as soon as they are safe and she has Ellie and Awesome testing Morgan to figure out the root of the problem. They are in the midst of an awkward silence until they both burst at the seems about how freaking cool the intersect is. But she agrees that she doesn't want it as she wants to retire and start a family with him. Chuck suggests they 'practice' while they wait for the train to arrive at its destination.
At the Buy More, Morgan has set up a flu shot station in his absence. Big Mike threatens Lester to not mess up the Buy More on his watch. He wants him to act more like Jeff. Jeff concurs with Big Mike. Jeff is still convinced there is something going on but Lester chalks it all up to dreams and wants to act like a child like he always does so he doesn't have to think about the possibility. Alex comes up to the Buy More to buy some Combos for Morgan when the flu shot people take her hostage. Jeff and Lester witness the act. They are determined to figure out the truth.
Nikolai convinces Casey to open the coffin by letting him know that he has his daughter in custody. She calls and confirms.
Chuck and Sarah, post-practice, draw up a sketch of their future with the white picket fence and children. (This show better have a happy ending or I will kill someone). Casey calls but they ignore it.
They go to find him but he pulls a gun on them and take them to Nikolai. He has no choice. Through an ear piece, Nikolai feeds him what to say and he reveals to them that Nikolai has Alex. He instructs them to shut down the dining car so Nikolai will have some privacy. Chuck tries to talk to Sarah in Pig Latin (really?). Under his breath, Casey tells Chuck to text Morgan and inform him that Alex has been kidnapped and to get out of the Buy More. Morgan's confused because Alex is in Castle with them. They pull up the video feed and see her get taken. They're in an RV/Flu Shot Mobile outside the Buy More but it won't start. Thanks to super spies Jeff and Lester outside the store who have filled the gas tank with sugar. Maybe they're useful after all?
Casey delivers Chuck and Sarah to the Dining Car to meet Nikolai. Nikolai demands the intersect. Sarah says she'll hand over the glasses if he releases Alex but Nikolai knows the glasses are useless and Sarah has the intersect. Nikolai is prepared to kill all three of them unless they produce another version of the intersect within a half hour. Chuck steals a pair of chopsticks and places them in Sarah's back pocket which she uses to get the gun out of Nikolai's hand and fights him off. She gets caught up in the moment and kicks him out the window but they need him to get Alex back. Since she flashed a few times, her head starts to go nuts and she collapses with head pains.
Ellie calls Chuck and tells him that she's flashing way too often and that is what is giving Sarah's migraines. She has flashed over 40 times in a few days which is really bad because she can't control when she flashes. Meanwhile, Awesome and Morgan are on the phone with Casey as he instructs them how to get into the RV. Ellie advises Chuck how to build a compressor advice to stop Sarah from flashing. Chuck goes into nerd more and gets ready to build it. Casey and Awesome are on the case. They get to Casey's car and it is stocked with ammunition as Casey talks them into how to attack the RV. Chuck raids the train full of Japanese people and steals all their high tech gadgets (racist?) and builds the compressor. Sarah confesses that she doesn't remember anybody named Alex. Chuck pulls out the sketch of their future and she tells him she wouldn't forget that. They reassure her that it will be fine.
Morgan and Awesome are ready to roll and call Casey for the final instructions. First time Sniper, Morgan is ready to fight for his girl when one of the flu shot people discover them and take their guns. They are really bad at this. They hit Morgan and his ear piece falls out. Lester finds it and answers Casey. Casey realizes it's Lester. He lets Chuck know that Jeff and Lester are his only option. Chuck tells him that they're idiots, but they're loyal as hell. They're the only option, go for it. Casey informs Lester that it's Casey and confess that he, Chuck and Sarah are CIA agents and that they are their only hope for Alex, Morgan and Awesome's hope. Casey tells him he'll make him a hero and he sends him to his car to get ammunition.
Nikolai, who somehow managed to hang on when he was booted out the window, re-enters the train from the bottom. The Japanese population is stunned but he bows. (Again, racist?)
The flu shot hit men are ready to kill Alex, Morgan and Awesome per their orders if they don't get a call from Nikolai when a voice comes over the speaker in the RV. It's Jeff and Lester. Lester aka Canadian Rambo appears in armor from head to toe. Jeff with a flame thrower takes the male flu shot bandit out and he surrenders. They save the day. Morgan congratulates them for being heroes and ask how they can repay them. Jeff and Lester just want the truth. Morgan takes them down to the Castle and give them a tour. Alex calls Casey and tells them how Jeff and Lester were the real heroes of the day. Jeff and Lester are like kids in a candy store in the Castle. They're in heaven.
Chuck's compressor is almost uploaded when the network goes off line. He goes to fix it, because if there's one thing Chuck knows it's how to fix a network. He goes to the panel to fix it and is attacked by Nikolai. Chuck doesn't have the intersect anymore so he's got to fight on memory. Since he's gone so long, Sarah sends Casey to check on Chuck but Chuck's doing all right in the fight. Not a slam dunk, but holding his own. But Casey gets there in time. Nikolai takes the Japanese conductor hostage so he can escape. Sarah informs them that he's heading towards the baggage car but they can't get there in time so she goes in. Chuck tries to talk her through it and tells her not to flash. She focuses and gets ready to fight him but he shoots her with a tranquilizer so she's trapped. The car unhooks and she and Nikolai separate from the train.
When Sarah awakes she is tied to a chair in a warehouse. Nikolai has 'flash' cards to force her to flash and erase her memories. 
Back at Castle, Morgan tries desperately to get Chuck to eat something but he's focused on trying to figure out where Nikolai has Sarah. Casey arrives and tells him that she set off her emergency beacon and she's close by. They set off to get her and find her location. When they get there, they are too late. Nikolai and Sarah are gone.
Sarah wakes up the next morning and she is in a comfortable bed in a beautiful apartment but she has no idea where she is. "Nicholas Quinn" (Nikolai) is at the door and she doesn't recognize him. He tells her he is her handler as he has been for the past 5 years. He tells her she took a blow to the head and asks if she remembers anything. She doesn't. He has a mission for her. She's to kill someone. It's Chuck! :(
