With Jeff and Lester stumbling onto their secret agents for hire lair, Casey and Morgan go to work to make them forget and fill their heads with a faux trip to Vegas. The one thing they don't count on is the 24hour memory erase doesn't get rid of their suscipions about there being more to the Buymore. So this sends them in a loop, constantly ending up between Vegas and Burbank and thoughts of their co-workers being spies for the government. Due to the recent pregnancy scare Sarah comes up with a new plan for the company in which they track down cyber threats to the country, hoping for a lot less kidnapping, torture and face down guns. Once Chuck and her get the rest of the crew on board all seems to be well.
But a haunted iPhone from Morgan's douche days shows up with a cryptic video related to the Intersect. This gives Carmichael Industries their last secret agents for hire mission.
For the mission to work douche Morgan with the frosted tips and they get led to Vail, Colorado where they run into Bo Derek. It turns out that Morgan had relations with Bo but she was interested in him because he was bragging about being the Intersect four months earlier. Surprisingly it turns out that beyond being the boy hood crush of Chuck and Morgan, Bo Derek is a spy. She also works for an ex CIA agent who was suppose to have the Intersect in the first place. A man named Nicholas Quinn. Eventually they end up figuring out where Morgan hid the shades and have a gunshoot out at a Bizarro Buymore (i.e. Big Michelle). In the end they finally succeed in getting rid of Lester and Jeff's suscipions and have the Intersect.
Just as they are planning to destroy the glasses and toast to their new company Chuck gets kidnapped by Nicholas Quinn. Of course he wants a trade and tells Sarah to bring the shades to get her husband back. Unfortunately Casey and Sarah end up out manned and all Sarah has left after the bullets are the glasses.
The episode ends with the wickedly awesome Walker using the Intersect to save her and Casey's tail. As awesome as an intersect she makes it upsets me that the Intersect keeps getting passed back and forth. The whole point of Chuck having the Intersect was based on the idea that he had a special brain that was receptive to that amount of information. It was a unique defining characteristic of his....I don't know how's its gonna end. Personally I feel that if Chuck doesn't have it no one should.

THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 5!!!!
Despite the fact that I agree with you that the show relies way too heavily on the intersect and i'm pretty sick of everyone passing it around, the whole episode really came together nicely.
The Jeff/Lester story line was one of my favorite things in the whole world. All of those scenes with them felt like old school Chuck to me for some reason. I loved the cuts to them waking up in the car and saying the exact same things every time. The doppelgangers in Vail were amazing too. And idk what it was, but when Lester yelled "J'ACCUSE!!!" when he saw them all in the Buy More, I'm not sure I laughed harder in a very long time.
And while I really didn't like the Morgan storyline at the beginning of this season, I thought the flashbacks to his douche days worked SO well here. And Bo Derrick was an awesome addition.
Basically I liked this episode.
No kidding. I agree, this episode was very well done. From the return of douchy Morgan to meeting their boyhood crushes. And Jeff and Lester were at their best, with keeping tabs on their arms and eventual terror in bizarro Buymore. It was great despite the unnecessary intersect drama with Sarah.
