Chuck Versus the Marlin is the thirteenth episode of the first season of the American television series Chuck. The episode begins with a flashback to five years prior where Bryce Larkin and Chuck are on a mission in Zurich, Switzerland. The scene shows Bryce downloading classified information from a secure computer and informing Chuck that he is a spy. In the present day, Chuck is still reeling from the fact that Bryce was a spy and now he is one too.

At the Buy More, a man named Harry Tang is promoted to assistant manager much to the frustration of Chuck's best friend Morgan Grimes. Harry is immediately put in charge of the Nerd Herd, the department where Chuck works. While on a mission, Sarah and Chuck receive an encrypted message from Bryce. They meet with their CIA handler, Langston Graham, who tells them that Bryce has been kidnapped by the Fulcrum, a dangerous organization with ties to the government.

The Fulcrum discovers that Chuck is in possession of the Intersect, a database of all government secrets, and they attempt to capture him. Chuck narrowly escapes and meets with Sarah and Casey to hatch a plan to rescue Bryce. They discover that the Fulcrum is using an underwater base to hold Bryce captive and decide to break in to rescue him.

Once inside, Chuck triggers the alarm and is separated from Sarah and Casey. He discovers that Bryce is not a captive, but is actually a member of the Fulcrum. Bryce reveals that he has been working with the organization to steal the Intersect from Chuck. Chuck is shocked and heartbroken by his former friend's betrayal.

Back at the Buy More, Morgan confronts Harry about his abusive management style and demands that he treat his employees with more respect. Harry agrees and eventually apologizes to Morgan for his behavior.

Chuck, Sarah, and Casey manage to escape the underwater base and return to their handler, Langston Graham. They reveal to Graham that Bryce has been working with the Fulcrum and ask for his help in taking down the organization. Graham agrees and they make plans to go after the Fulcrum.

The episode ends with Chuck still processing the fact that Bryce was a spy and is now his enemy. He wonders if he can trust anyone in the spy world and is left questioning his own place in it.

Overall, Chuck Versus the Marlin is a fast-paced episode that delivers on action, suspense, and character development. The episode effectively sets up future storylines and deepens the emotional stakes for the main characters. Fans of the series will not be disappointed by this thrilling installment.
