Chuck is getting very perturbed at the fact Sarah can’t give him a yes or no answer. He stands up from the couch and starts to pace back and forth.
Chuck: This is too much information to process in one day. My cousin shows out of no where after 7 years and come to find out she’s a member of the super secret spy club that doesn’t even have a name! (Bailey and Sarah are watching Chuck pace back and forth and start to wig out) and to make things better my girlfriend, who isn’t even really my girlfriend, but kinda is, can’t even tell me if she is going to stay or leave me!
Sarah’s eyes are filled with confusion and despair, she wanted to stand up and tell Chuck she was staying, and that she was staying because she was falling in love with him, but she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and said, “I need to go get Casey from the hospital, I will see you guys at dinner!” A small tear was welling up in her eye but she walked out of the apartment before anyone could see. Chuck had a dumbfounded look on his face as he watched Sarah run out the door.
Bailey: Way to go ace! You act like this is a simple decision for her, but it’s not!
Chuck: It should be, she told me the other day she stayed here cause of me and not the job!
Bailey: Chuck, give her some space. It is a lot of information for her to process too and you need to take in account what she might be giving up.
Chuck: She isn’t giving anything up that she hasn’t already!
Bailey: Just give her some space Chuck, if you put to much emotional pressure on her she will leave, remember that’s what we’re good at!
Chuck sits back on the couch and ponders the though of Sarah leaving. “I can’t do this without her!” He decided that he wasn’t going to push her in to making any decision until she was ready, as much as he doesn’t want to lose her, he didn’t want her to be unhappy!
Bailey: Are you ok?
Chuck: yah, I just… wish I could get her to talk to me about whatever this is we have.
Bailey: Chuck take it from me, Sarah does not like to talk about her feelings, and it took a long time for her to open up to me and… (She just gives Chuck a sympathetic look) Just put it this way, you have her confused as hell, so you know that you got under her skin! You just have to suck it up and be patient and hope for the best!
Chuck: Hope for the best,(he grunts) story of my life!
At the Hospital
Casey is getting his things and is ready as Sarah walks in.
Sarah: You ready partner?
Casey: Yah, just a minute, I never thought I would be so happy to go home.
Sarah: And which home are you referring too?
Casey: At the moment, my apartment!
Sarah: Ahhh, right, remember Ellie is cooking you a welcome home dinner.
Casey: Right. I didn’t forget, I like her cooking!
Sarah: Well knowing you, you better enjoy it because it’s probably your last one!
Casey: Maybe, maybe not?
Sarah: You mean you’re actually considering staying here with Chuck and this normal. Well almost normal lifestyle?
Casey: I don’t know what I want to do yet Walker?
They leave the hospital and are in the car driving back to Casey’s.
Casey: What about you? I would think this would be perfect for you.
Sarah: Why is that?
Casey: Oh come on, your best friend and your boyfriend. You can stay here with Bailey and protect Chuck and live that somewhat normal life you have been thinking about!
Sarah: I don’t know if I am ready to give up the rest of the spy stuff, and what if something happens and Chuck and I……(She stops her statement before she would get herself in trouble with Casey.) We still have a few hours to think about it, and I still don’t know if im ready for this type of permanent assignment!
They get back to the apartment complex and Sarah gets Casey back into his apartment. Bailey walks over to say hi.
Bailey: Welcome home big guy, how are you feeling?
Casey: Like I’ve been shot! I have you to thank for that!
Bailey: Same old JC, I got you a present since you have to take it easy for a few more days. ( Bailey points to the table where 2 new baby bonsai trees and a new set of clippers were.)
Casey: Good, I might need something to occupy my time in this little corner of hell I have found my way into.
Bailey: Ooohh so bitter, does that mean that you’re going to stay?
As Bailey asks that Chuck walks in
Casey: I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Chuck looks at Sarah then at Casey. “Welcome home big guy, Ellie is over there right now making you a great dinner.”
Casey: Great im starving, hospital food is a conspiracy to keep you in there because it makes you sicker than what you were to begin with!
Sarah: (looks at Bailey) so how are we going to play this?
Bailey: I was thinking we tell the truth about us going to school together, that makes it easier to explain our connection and my apartment! I will be meeting Casey for the first time! Got it?
They all shake their heads in agreement and head over to Casa Bartowski. Ellie is in the kitchen with Awesome as the trio walk in.
Awesome: John, guys right on time Ellie is pulling dinner out of the oven!
Casey: Excellent, I am starving!
Ellie: Good cause I have made you a very delicious dinner. (She walks out of the kitchen and places a salad on the table. A large crash is heard in Chuck’s room.)
Sarah: What was that?
Chuck: Probably Morgan making a grand entrance!
Ellie: Chuck, I thought I told you to lock your window!?
Chuck: Sorry sis, he wanted to get all dressed up for this special occasion!
Ellie: (sits down at the dinner table kinda confused) He got all dressed up because John was coming home?
Chuck: Not exactly. (He looks over at Sarah and smiles as he grabs her hand.) Sarah and I have a surprise for you.
Ellie’s eyes get big with excitement and she starts to get curious. “Oh my god your getting married?
Sarah: NO!
Awesome: You’re pregnant?
Sarah: Oh god no!
Ellie: Well then what!!
Bailey comes in the front door. “Your baby cousin Bailey Faye Fisher is in town!!”
Ellie: OH MY GOD!!!!!! Bailey!! It’s so good to see you, what are you doing here? (Ellie runs up and gives her a great big bear hug.) Oh my baby cuz, it has been to long!
Bailey: I know I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping in touch, work has been crazy!
Ellie: (start to tear up with happiness.) My Bailey, world renowned photographer. When did you get here?
Bailey: Last night, I wanted to get myself organized before I came to see everyone!
Sarah: You organized, never!
Bailey: Hey just because I was never an obsessive compulsive neat freak like you!
Ellie: Wait you two know each other?
Bailey: We both graduated for George Washington University together!
Chuck: Yah, come to find out they were even in the same sorority!
Awesome: Cool the bonds of the Greek sisterhood! That is awesome!
Bailey: Oh Devon, how I have missed you and your awesomeness!
They all laugh, then we see Morgan come in from out of Chuck’s room wearing dress pants and a tuxedo shirt holding his shoulder.
Chuck: He buddy, you ok?
Morgan: Yah man, I think your window needs oil cause its sticking.
Sarah: Maybe that’s because I locked it!
Morgan: Why would you do that Sarah? I mean it’s not like im going to come through there when you and chuck are making whoopee!!
Bailey: I see something’s never change!
Morgan: Cousin Bailey.
Bailey: Hi Morgan, how is life treating you?
Morgan: Better now that you’re back in my life!
(Everyone laughs at Morgan’s attempt at a pick up line.)
Bailey: Ok, easy cheesy, lets just sit down and eat dinner!
Morgan: Fine, but admit it, you missed me a little?
Bailey: You caught me, I missed you so much, and you are the reason why I moved out here to California!
Morgan: Thanks babe, I missed you too!
Bailey just shakes her head and wishes she had really brought her gun to dinner!
Chuck: Hey cuz, this is John Casey, my, our neighbor.
Bailey sits next to Casey and shakes his hand, “pleasure to meet you John.”
Casey: Likewise and welcome to the neighborhood.
Bailey: Thanks, I guess we will be seeing a lot of each other around.
Ellie: Wait you moved into the apartment across the way? But isn’t that a 3 bedroom apartment? That’s kinda big for just you.
Bailey: Well I like to have my space and I was going to see if Sarah wanted to move in with me.
Sarah: You were?
Bailey: Yah, I mean, you have got to get out of that hotel sometime and who else would you rather live with than your old roommate and best friend! And just think you will be near chuck.
Sarah: Well I will have to think about it!
Chuck: Don’t rush yourself it is a big decision! (In an irritated tone, this causes Sarah to give him a subtle look.)
Sarah: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Chuck and Sarah get up from the table and head for his room.
Awesome: You two don’t be gone to long, you don’t want us to think your making whoopee in there!
Ellie: Devon. Shut up!
Chuck walks in his room and sits on his bed and lies back putting his hands over his face. Sarah is right behind him and closes the door.
Sarah: what was that all about? I know things are a little confusing right now but you don't have to bring it into your family time!
Chuck:(sits up and points at Sarah) no things aren't confusing to me, I am completely aware of everything that is going on, your the one making everything more difficult than it should be, like always!
Sarah: what is that suppose to mean?
Chuck gets up and walks to the door. Nothing lets go back to dinner.
Sarah grabs his arm and puts him into the door pinning him. “No you and I are going to finish this conversation.”
Chuck: you and I have never finished a conversation, it always ends with you telling me what to do or how you want things done and god forbid I start talking about this half ass relationship. A conversation involves both people talking not just one person barking orders because she thinks she runs everything!
Sarah: HEY!! I....
Chuck: NO!! For once I am going to talk and you’re going to be quiet. I am sick and tired of your games and your lies! You tell me you stayed for me and not the job and you picked me over Bryce, then you keep building up my hopes in having a semi normal relationship with you, just to be torn down time and time again. I can't take it anymore!!!
Back in the dinning room
Awesome: they must be having a good conversation. He winks at Ellie who smiles back at him.
Casey grunts and Bailey takes a big gulp of her red wine!
Back to the bedroom
Chuck is now pacing and Sarah is sitting on the bed getting frustrated because she can't put her 2 cents in.
Sarah: chuck I...
Chuck: zip it! (He makes a hand motion of a mouth closing.)
Sarah gives him a dirty look.
Chuck: I have tried being patient and I have sat back and let you try to figure out what you want but obviously you can't decide and what I want never mattered to you!
Sarah couldn't take being quiet anymore she stood up and blurted out.
“Ok chuck what is it that you want?!”
Chuck: I WANT YOU! (Sarah was taken back) you have been what I've wanted ever since I saw you. Even after I found out you were a spy, you can lie to yourself all you want but you want me too and I know it. (Chuck had, had enough)You know what, I am going to make this easy on you. (Sarah looks up into chucks eyes with an uncertain look) I know being a spy makes you happy, out saving the world and protecting the country and if that makes you more happy than being in love then I want you to go! (Sarah’s eyes reflected the same look as chucks surprising and sad) I want you to go and never come back because I don't think my heart can take it!
Chuck turns and walks out the door back into the dinning room and looks at everyone (excuse me I need to get some air!) he walks out the front door and slams it shut. Sarah covers her mouth with her hand and sits back down on chucks bed and starts to cry.
Bailey gets up "excuse me" she goes to check on Sarah.
Morgan: wow I guess that wasn't a good conversation!
Casey: good guess genius!!
Bailey walks in chucks room and sees Sarah on the bed crying, she shuts the door and sits next to her friend in silence and waited till Sarah was ready to talk.
Sarah: (sobbing) he told me to go and never come back if I decided to leave. I can't do this Bailey, I can't keep hurting him or myself like this.
Bailey: then maybe you need to tell him how you really feel, screw what Graham and Beckman say, they aren't in charge anymore, the only reason they will still be around is to give us Intel and when they need us for missions, but everything else that has to do with the intersect and chuck is now my responsibility! I and I say (she wipes the hair out of Sarah’s eyes) love when you can because you might not be here tomorrow!
Sarah tries to laugh threw her tears. That is so cheesy!
Bailey: I know, but that's why you love me!
Sarah: because your cheesy?
Bailey: well its better than smelling like cheese!!
They both laugh and share a hug.
Bailey: do you want to go back to your apartment or go hide in mine for a while?
Sarah: I think I am going to go to the beach and think about what I am going to do.
Bailey: I will call and check on you later and don't worry about chuck I will kick him in the butt when he gets back!
Sarah wipes her face and exits through the window to avoid the questioning looks she would receive going through the dinning room.
Bailey walks back in and sits down and takes another sip of wine.
Ellie: what happened? Did they just break up?
Morgan: what? Yes I got my buddy back!
Ellie shoots a look at Morgan then throws a crescent roll at him and hits him in the head!
Morgan: what? What I say?
Bailey: Ellie dinner was delicious and it is so good to see you but I think I am going to go find chuck!
