History WhamEpisode / Chuck

** Chuck vs The Living Dead. After a fairly standard episode, the reveal that Chuck is dying unless his father can finish the device to fix him is pretty good. But the last five minutes open up a bunch of cliffhangers for the coming finale. [[spoiler: After spending the episode being convinced by a Ring agent that John Casey is rogue NSA, Ellie knocks him out with a frying pan and is put in "protective custody" by the Ring, becoming a hostage. And if that wasn't enough of a cliffhanger, we see that the Ring has completed their own Intersect, and it is being uploaded into someone who the computer acknowledges as [[EvilCounterpart Daniel Shaw.]]]]

** Chuck vs The Subway. Daniel Shaw really is alive! And there are so many Ring operatives inside the CIA that he is literally able to march into the middle of a debriefing, after having been revealed as a traitor, and everyone accepts what he sayser as truth. He shuts down the Intersect Operation, including having Sarah, Casey and ''General Beckman'' arrested, and Chuck and his father have to go on the run. Even better because the line that really shows how screwed they are doubles as a WhamLine, when Shaw enters the debriefing.

** "Chuck vs The First Fight": Agent Frost's MI6 handler played by Timothy Dalton turns out to be [[spoiler: Volkoff himself.]] He then proceeds to [[spoiler: blow up all of Orion's work and temporarily stop the Intersect from working]].

** Chuck vs The Tic Tac: Casey has a daughter.

** Don't forget the episode when Morgan finally finds out about Chuck. Or when you find out that Casey has a daughter. Or when Chuck's father is killed while Ellie is watching from the shadows.

** When Jill is revealed as a baddie in "Chuck vs. the Gravitron," though as she is the ex-girlfriend, some people may have seen this coming.
** The season 2 Christmas episode. Weird enough start with buy more characters in a hostage situation, but [[spoiler:just when you think there's no spy stuff - oh shit this whole thing was a fulcrum set up to draw out Chuck's secret.]]
** Don't forget the episode when Morgan finally finds out about Chuck. Or when you find out that Casey has a daughter. Or when Chuck's father is killed while Ellie is watching from the shadows. Or hey, the first big wham when you find out Chuck's father is Orion, and after that when Chuck downloads the intersect 2.0 and takes down a group of bad guys with his new powers.
