* ''Chuck Versus the Santa Suit'' features the return of [[spoiler: Daniel Shaw]], as he easily takes over Castle with Sarah & Casey as his hostages. However, when he goes to fight Chuck, it becomes a different story. [[spoiler: For starters, Chuck turns Shaw's plan to upload the Intersect 3.0 in his head on its rear by rigging the Intersect glasses so that Shaw's downloaded the Omen virus instead. And then, Chuck proceeds to show how much of a BadassNormal he is by actually giving Shaw a good fight.]]
** And just to add to the awesomeness...[[spoiler: Ellie finishes off the fight by knocking Shaw out from behind with a frying pan, right as the villain had Chuck at gunpoint.]]

He insists that [[HeroicSacrifice everyone get in the car and drive away]], but it's [[TheChessmaster a play]] to get them to cut power to the building and park outside his exfiltration vector: [[SuperWindowJump a window on the east side of the building.]]]]

*** YourMilageMayVary - This troper found that scene mildly disturbing. Chucks confusion, and dawning horror about what he was about to do really turns down the awesome.
:: He then dodges a bullet ''at point blank'' and proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle lay the smack down]].
