"Chuck Versus the Role Models" is episode 15 of the third season of Chuck. Chuck and Sarah are assigned to train under Craig and Laura Turner (Fred Willard and Swoosie Kurtz), a married CIA team who, despite their impeccable record, hate one another. The Turners' stormy relationship forces Chuck and Sarah to wonder if they're doomed with the same fate. Meanwhile, Casey must train the newest member of the team - Morgan.
The episode begins with a dream by Morgan as he narrates his role with Chuck and Sarah in the CIA over an 1980s style montage. He awakens in the night and heads to the kitchen for a snack. Finding the refrigerator door open and thinking Chuck is behind it, Morgan is about to discuss his dream when he discovers Sarah is there in her lingerie. After a double entendre-laden conversation she goes back to bed. In the morning, Chuck and Sarah are briefed by Beckman in Castle, where she explains that they are to watch another CIA couple, Craig and Laura Turner, to learn how to operate effectively whilst together. Casey is tasked, to his disgust, with training their newest recruit, Morgan.
Back at the apartment, Chuck and Sarah welcome the Turners. Craig tells a story about a mission which irritates Laura when he mentions a Russian double-agent Craig had an affair with, and it is also revealed the Turners have divorced and remarried three times. Chuck and Sarah are then briefed on their assignment set for that night. They are to observe while Craig and Laura infiltrate the mansion of Otto von Vogel (Udo Kier) to recover a decryption key he has developed which can render any government security useless. Vogel is hosting a party that night, which he is using as a front to try and sell the device. The Turners are to access the master suite at Udo's home, where they will retrieve the decryption software and escape. The mission, however, does not go as planned. Craig is a philanderer and Laura is revealed to be an alcoholic, at which point the two get into a heated argument. With the Turners incapacitated and with their covers at risk, Chuck and Sarah step in to complete the mission themselves. They successfully access the master suite, only to confront Vogel's enormous pet tiger, Sasha. Chuck flashes and determines the software key is hidden on her collar. When the tiger falls asleep, Chuck steals the collar, and he and Sarah narrowly escape when Sasha awakens and gives chase. However, as they flee the party, they are intercepted by the Turners, who reveal their behavior during the party was a ruse and steal the software at gunpoint before fleeing.
