Best episode of Chuck in a long time! And ita !, it answers your question about what good Chuck is without the Intersect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Once Upon a Time: I can't believe that they killed off the cute hunstman/sheriff with the adorable accent. Sad that we (probabaly) won't have any more hot sheriff/deputy kissage.

Well we have unambigously seen magic in our universe. And Emma is going to figure out that Henry is right damn soon. I'd think next ep, but flashbacks could delay that.
