Season 2 of Chuck expands the show's espionage mythology as Chuck Bartowski adjusts to his dual life, only to face immediate danger when the villainous shadow organization Fulcrum intensifies its hunt for the Intersect. The season follows Chuck's desperate quest to remove the government database from his brain so he can reclaim his normal life, a goal that appears within reach when he discovers the identity of the Intersect's brilliant creator, Orion. Amidst high-stakes missions and massive workplace chaos—such as the corporate takeover of the Buy More by the ruthless efficiency expert Emmett Milbarge—the emotional core of the season centers on the deeply agonizing, "will-they-won't-they" romance between Chuck and Sarah.
