It's a family affair on 'Chuck' (Mon., 8PM ET on NBC).

[Spoiler alert.]

Chuck (Zachary Levi) learns that his family has been involved in the spy game for far longer than he thinks. His dad (Scott Bakula) was a spy for twenty years, and had first involved his son in espionage at an early age. But more shocking that this is the fact that Chuck learns that his long-lost mother is still around -- and she may just be a spy as well.

Even though Chuck's father is killed in the episode, there is still hope for the future. (And no death in 'Chuck' is necessarily permanent.) Now, with the new information he has been given, Chuck can begin the hunt for his mom. One parent dies, but one parent suddenly returns. We'll have to wait until next season to see how it all plays out.
