Is Casey a traitor? On a mission to test the security at a [=CIA=] facility, Chuck sees Casey steal a pill for his former commander Keller, now a Ring agent.

Turns out Casey has a history: he used to be Alex Coburn, a young Marine apparently killed in Honduras in 1989. He left behind a fiancée, Kathleen, who Keller has threatened to kill if Casey doesn't cooperate.

agent. Casey is arrested, but broken out by Keller who doesn't have the pill yet. Chuck and Sarah are tasked with tracking the pill, and Casey, down.

cooperate. While Sarah and Casey go to sort out Keller, Chuck goes to protect Kathleen.

Sarah and Casey kill Keller and his men, but there's a problem: Keller never meant to keep his word, and his men are already at Kathleen's house, leaving Chuck to protect her alone. As the pair speed to help him, Casey tells Chuck to take the pill, which he hid on him earlier; it's an emotion repressor designed for battlefield use, and it'll help him flash.

It does, but it also makes him - yes, Chuck - a merciless and unstoppable killing machine. Sarah manages to distract him before he kills anyone, but it's close, to both their horror. Meanwhile, Casey is only concerned with Kathleen. She's hurt, but will recover. As the team wait for the ambulance, they're in for another surprise: a girl in her late teens bursts in, calling for her mom, Kathleen, who greets her by the name of Alex.

Casey's long service keeps him out of prison, but General Beckman drops him from the [=NSA=]. He tells Chuck that it's too late for him to be a family man, but not for Chuck.

->'''Sarah:''' If we do this, and if we get caught, we're going to be tried for treason. And you're going to lose everything and you're never going to get a chance to be a ''real'' spy... Is that what you want?\\
'''Chuck:''' It's Casey.\\
'''Sarah:''' I was hoping you'd say that.

!Trope Flash:

* ActorAllusion: Creator/RobertPatrick guest stars in an episode that centres around a pill that can create emotionless killing machines... sort of like a [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Terminator]].
* IronicEcho: Casey kills Keller by strangling him against a wall and breaking his neck. Sarah is deeply disturbed to see Terminator!Chuck ''almost'' do this after taking the pill.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Alex Coburn left behind a pregnant fiancée. Averted, though, because he's still alive; he's called John Casey now.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Chuck seeing Casey steal the pill. The Ring's plan would have gone off without a hitch otherwise.
* WhamEpisode: Casey is dismissed from the [=NSA=]. He also finds out he has a teenage daughter.
* WhamLine: After saving Casey's former fiancée, the gang are startled by her daughter, a girl in her late teens (i.e. just old enough for her mother to have been pregnant when Alex Coburn "died.")
