Having Casey speak up in defense of Sarah's professionalism after Alex questions it is perfectly reasonable. These two depend on each other to remain alive, and so both have to be good. Besides, their skills come in handy when Chuck gets in over his head. For once, Casey stands up for Chuck. He knows Chuck is trying to get Sarah back on the team, even if her emotions are a little troublesome. The general agrees, and Sarah is reinstated.
I saw a lot of repetition this week as to the storyline. Some things work while others had problems. Chuck impersonating a doctor reminds me of his adventure with Roan Montgomery ("Chuck Versus the Seduction"). The white coat is problematic with his skin coloring. Helfer should have been wearing it. The twin dresses Sarah and Alex wore in the Castle had the same problem. Red is fine for Strahvoski ("Chuck Versus the Break Up"), but orange washes her right out.
Somehow, I'm not surprised Jeff's sister is a stripper. Mom is in prison ("Chuck Versus Santa Claus"), so it stands to reason that her daughter does not exactly have the best role model. Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) calling Casey nice also makes sense. She tends to see good in everyone, whether they deserve it or not. No wonder Awesome wants to marry her.
I have to hand it to the writers. Awesome got kidnapped for real when the spy team needed his badge for a key part of their mission, which fit right in with the spy stuff this show is built around. Yes, it was done by Jeff, Lester, and Morgan. The one snafu with the plan was having Awesome overhear the discussion between Alex, Casey, and Chuck. Isn't a spy supposed to not let anybody know about what his job entails? Oops! Tune in for more exploration of this storyline.
Awesome also nearly sees the secret behind his future brother-in-law. Twice! The computer has yet another function besides the obvious. It's how intelligence agents get in touch with him. Chuck manages to convince Awesome about a role playing game with Morgan, but who knows how long before somebody says the wrong thing entirely? Heart surgeons aren't exactly stupid people. At least one would hope, anyway.
