Chuck Bartowski is made the team leader and tasked with finding new Intersect candidates, but must solve a murder mystery when his recruits start turning up dead.

General Diane Beckman assigns Chuck Bartowski the responsibility of selecting candidates for the Intersect, believing that his unique experience makes him best suited to identify those who think and act like him.

These include Lewis, a technical operations specialist with an English accent, Josie, a psychological warfare expert, Damien, a Greek-American agent frequently embedded in terror cells, and Brody, who shares striking similarities with Chuck.

Chuck delegates the candidates’ physical, psychological, and cultural assessments to John Casey, Sarah Walker, and Morgan Grimes, respectively.

Realizing that one of the remaining candidates is the murderer, Chuck orders the surrender of all weapons and plans to review security footage and interrogate everyone.

However, each candidate has a motive: Josie’s emotional instability due to a breakup, Damien’s resentment over being typecast, and Lewis's jealousy as Chuck’s second choice.

To promote the sale, Mike stands outside the store wearing a large "BM" on his chest in the Buy More colors, green and yellow.

Morgan confronts Jeff Barnes and Lester Patel, who lead him to the closet where they have kept "Kevin Bacon", a pig revealed to be the Large Mart mascot.

Just as Morgan rallies the Buy More staff to rescue Big Mike, the latter walks through the main door, having easily escaped his "nerd" guards.

But their victory is short-lived, as Large Mart employees bring the BM costume to the front door and light it on fire.

Concerned about his wife's obsession, Devon Woodcomb asks if she should be digging through her father's work, to which Ellie simply replies, "What's the worst that can happen?".

Chuck suggests replacing the computer's hard drive with a blank one, which would make Ellie believe it was simply broke.

The four Intersect candidates were all fairly cartoonish, even by 'Chuck' standards... and the Bentley character has suffered from one of the few real guest casting missteps this show has made in a while, so I didn't particularly care which of them did it, so long as most of them (with the ironic exception of our swarthy bearded killer) were off my screen for good by episode's end... Fortunately, the murder mystery had a secondary element to it in Chuck's need to prove himself as a leader, and that part of the story was very strong.

I loved seeing little Kevin Bacon running for his life and then being blasted forward by an explosion, in a classic action movie hero style.
