"Chuck Versus the Tooth" is the 16th episode of Chuck's third season, and originally aired on May 10, 2010. When Chuck struggles with disturbing dreams, he believes his most recent one predicts danger for a visiting head of state. Beckman, however, is unconvinced and assigns Chuck to meet with a CIA psychiatrist Dr. Leo Dreyfus (Christopher Lloyd). Meanwhile, Ellie gets surprising news and Anna (Julia Ling) returns to the Buy More to talk to Morgan.
Chuck and Sarah are relaxing at home watching TV when Chuck dozes off and experiences a disturbing and surreal dream, which he interprets as indicating the president Jakaya Kuti of Zamibia (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) is the target of an assassination plot by the Ring. Beckman, however, is unconvinced, so she orders Chuck to undergo evaluation by a CIA psychiatrist. Chuck meets with Dr. Leo Dreyfus, who reveals the government believes in the possibility of harmful side-effects caused by the Intersect which may now be affecting Chuck. Despite Chuck's insistence on the existence of a legitimate threat to Kuti, Dreyfus recommends Chuck be removed from active duty status. Chuck, however, remains convinced of a plot. He does not tell Sarah about Dr. Dreyfus's diagnosis, and taps Morgan for an unauthorized mission to the Beethoven concert where he believes the assassination attempt will take place.
Chuck and Morgan arrive at the concert and keep watch on the president's box. Chuck soon falls asleep and experiences another vivid dream implicating Zamibian scientist Dr. Martin Kowambe in the assassination plot. He orders Morgan to keep watch from the floor while he attempts to gain access to the presidential box. Meanwhile, Casey and Sarah discover Chuck's off-book mission and rush to the concert hall to intervene. Casey tranq's Morgan with his own tranq gun, while Sarah intercepts Chuck. However, he is able to convince her to investigate his theory, and they use their CIA credentials to enter the president's box. Chuck flashes on Kowambe indicating he is carrying Ring intelligence in his tooth, and attacks the scientist. Although unable to explain the situation before he is arrested, Chuck manages to secure the tooth as he is dragged away to be committed to a CIA psychiatric facility under Dreyfus's direction. The facility houses other spies who have succumbed to the stress of their jobs and are also in treatment, including "Merlin" (Kevin West).
