"Chuck Versus the Suitcase" is the second episode of the fourth season of Chuck. It originally aired September 27, 2010. There are crimes of fashion when Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker go undercover in Milan for Fashion Week to seize a high-tech weapon, yet Chuck soon recognizes a flaw in his relationship with Sarah. Meanwhile, Morgan Grimes discovers a vulnerability about the new Buy More.
In Milan, a US intelligence operative chases a Volkoff operative named Sofia Stepanova (Karolína Kurková), who stole an ammunition clip containing smart bullets from a weapons development facility outside Paris. She slays him with one of the large smart bullets. In a Team Bartowski briefing, General Beckman reveals that Sofia is the executor of Volkoff's most important weapons deals. She uses her cover as a runway model to travel the world, get access to, and deliver illegal weapons. Beckman sends them to Milan Fashion Week to intercept the bullets, except Colonel Casey, who stabbed a man with a stilleto at Yves St. Laurent.
When Sarah notices that the bullets are in Sofia's purse, Chuck Bartowski moves to retrieve them. This ends in embarrassment for Chuck when she turns and his hand lands on her bottom. When she accuses him of being a pervert, he unsuccessfully explains that he came with Victor (Bronson Pinchot). Chuck and Sarah watch her deliver the purse to a bartender, and he immediately starts running. When they catch him, it is revealed to contain a ticking time bomb. Chuck then grabs it, triggering a dead man's switch, but Sarah manages to defuse it with one second to spare.
