"Chuck Versus the Seduction" is the second episode of Season 2 of the U.S. television series Chuck, first airing October 6, 2008. Chuck must go undercover to retrieve the Cipher from Sasha Banachek (Melinda Clarke), known as the Black Widow. But in order to get close to his target, Chuck must learn the art of seduction from the legendary debonair spy Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette).
The episode begins with Chuck and Casey talking in the Buy More parking lot about the destruction of the new intersect in the previous episode. Chuck has a conversation with his best friend Morgan Grimes and believes his life isn't going anywhere, when Sarah walks in the Store and kisses him as part of the cover. Sarah leads Chuck down a massive underground bunker (Castle) the CIA built for operations at the Orange Orange. General Diane Beckman tells them that the real Cipher might be in the hands of the former KGB operative Sasha Banachek (also known as the Black Widow) and that she is in town to sell it. The team is told to find legendary spy Roan Montgomery, as he is the reason Banachek was sent to a Bulgarian prison for seven years and knows more about her than anyone. During the briefing, Chuck walks out saying he won't help, but Sarah manages to convince him otherwise. Chuck flashes on a picture of Roan, and finds his location. At Roan home, the team find the door open. Believing someone has forced their way in, they draw their weapons and enter. The team finds the house ransacked, and they find a seemingly dead Montgomery under the bed. But they discover Montgomery is in a drunken haze, and had been drinking and partying the night before.
Later during a conference with Beckman, Roan tells Casey and Sarah that the only way to get information out of Banachek, is to seduce her. At Casey's apartment, Chuck is told he must seduce Banachek, so he can get into her room and see if he flashes on anything. Roan begins teaching Chuck on the art of seduction. Chuck wants to be himself, but Roan doubts a woman like Sasha would ever fall for a guy like Chuck. Roan wants Chuck to kiss Sarah. Embarrassed, Chuck places a peck on her lips. When Roan suggests getting Casey to kiss her, it's too much for Chuck and he kisses her passionately. While Chuck gets prepared for his date, Roan tells Chuck he needs a weapon, because Banachek kills all her mates. While Chuck is at the bar in Banachek's Hotel, Sarah and Roan monitor him in a van parked across the street. Roan tells Chuck what to do and what to say to her through Chuck's earpiece, but Chuck soon gets distracted when Sarah and Roan begin to argue over Sarah's feelings for Chuck. Banachek soon loses interest with Chuck, and leaves but Chuck soon manages to regain control of the situation and Banachek invites him up to her room.
