"Chuck Versus the Living Dead" is the 17th episode of the third season of Chuck. It was originally aired May 17, 2010. Chuck has another dream which he interprets as indicating Daniel Shaw may actually be alive. Tension mounts as he, Sarah, and Casey search for the truth surrounding Shaw's supposed death. Meanwhile, Stephen Bartowski (Scott Bakula) returns and discovers Chuck is still a spy, while Ellie continues to be manipulated by Justin.
The main plot of the episode is complex, with multiple story threads woven together. The episode begins at the residence of Chuck and Ellie's father, Stephen. He receives a secret message in the classified section of the newspaper from Ellie, telling him that she needs his address, and has to talk to him. He sends back a message saying that he will be in touch. Ellie calls Justin, and they arrange a meeting.
Chuck discusses his dream with Morgan over the phone, but when Sarah overhears he denies a problem and makes an excuse to see Morgan. Chuck meets Morgan at the Buy More, who becomes convinced that Shaw is alive and will target Team Bartowski. Chuck decides to keep this from Sarah due to a lack of solid evidence and also since she had a history with Shaw. Morgan convinces Chuck to let him stay in Castle until the threat is eliminated, but Sarah catches him there and gets the truth from Morgan, who is unable to withstand her questioning. Meanwhile, in the store, Chuck is going through Shaw's personal file when he spots his father entering. Stephen is likewise surprised to see Casey and Sarah, as he is unaware Chuck downloaded the Intersect 2.0. Chuck dismisses his concern by saying Casey works at the store now, and that he and Sarah are dating. At Castle, Sarah warns Chuck he should have been honest with her about Shaw, especially since his dreams could be the result of flashes while his brain is idle. Casey arrives and notes there has been no recent activity on any of Shaw's aliases, and that the best way to get to Shaw is by using Sarah's previous involvement as a starting point. As the team goes over their records, Chuck flashes on the building Shaw's penthouse is in, which contains a CIA safe. Sarah and Chuck decide to go investigate it.
