"Chuck Versus the Sensei" is the ninth episode of the second season of Chuck. It originally aired on December 1, 2008. Chuck Bartowski is still reeling from the discovery that his ex-girlfriend Jill Roberts was a Fulcrum agent and goes on a mission to take his mind off of his shock. John Casey gets a shock of his own when he finds out that his sensei Ty Bennett (Carl Lumbly), who taught him everything he knows, is now one of the most wanted rogue agents. While on the search for Bennett, it becomes clear that Casey may be too emotionally involved to continue with the mission. Meanwhile, Devon Woodcomb's parents Honey (Morgan Fairchild) and Woody (Bruce Boxleitner) make a surprise visit to help Devon and Ellie Bartowski plan their wedding. At the Buy More, Emmett Milbarge (Tony Hale) reinstates the employee of the month contest, but Morgan Grimes, Jeff Barnes, and Lester Patel have other plans.
The episode begins with a flashback to a top-secret location in 1994, where John Casey, wearing a Van Dyke beard and long hair, trains with his sensei Ty Bennett (Carl Lumbly). Bennett easily defeats Casey in a sparring match and tells him that until he finds his "calm center", he will never win. In modern day, Emmett Milbarge (Tony Hale) lectures Casey about sales at the Buy More.
