At Castle, Beckman promotes Casey to Colonel and orders him to bring Chuck and Sarah in dead or alive.

Unable to return home because they are AWOL, Chuck and Sarah stop to spend the night at a motel.

Chuck leaves to get one and is apprehended by Casey, but Sarah disables him and cuffs him to a radiator in the motel room.

Stephen is tracking them and as they pass the drive-in again, he leaves Chuck a message (Tron 12AM) on a billboard, but Casey refuses to turn back and returns them to Castle, where they are placed in lockdown.

They see Devon trapped in Casey's apartment on one of the monitors when power is restored and rush back home as well.

Beckman advises Casey that there's not enough time to rescue Stephen, so she has instead decided to order an air strike to destroy the facility to prevent Fulcrum from gaining the Intersect.

Chuck is told to stay in the car, but when a large group of Fulcrum agents arrive he realizes that Roark is going to use the completed Intersect to build an army, so he leaves to stop it.

Before Roark's men kill them, Air Force F-16s arrive and begin attack runs on the base.

Beckman clears Sarah of wrongdoing and announces their operation is over and Chuck is free to live out his life.

The episode ends with a battered Ted Roark hitching a ride on a semi, headed for Ellie's wedding.

After he's ordered to install new registers, Jeff and Lester set off a bomb they found in Casey's locker inside a generator outside the store, which causes a temporary blackout throughout Burbank.

He asks Big Mike to take care of his mother, then in full view of everyone strips off his assistant manager's vest and green Buy More shirt and quits.

He asks her to trust Chuck, who finally returns home and apologizes, then brings Stephen in as their wedding present.

Casey closes the door, but as Chuck turns to leave he comes back out with several cigars in-hand.

Devon also discovered the truth of Chuck's secret life, first hinted at by comments made by Ryan McPartlin.

[3] TV Squad praised the balance of the episode's action, humor, pop culture references and romantic subplots, and particularly cited the use of the drive-in theater as a secret base.
