10/20/11: With Chuck owning the Buy More, Awesome will "become the face of the company" Ryan McPartlin says, "[Awesome's] going to be like the Tony Robbins of the Buy More. The fact that Ellie and Awesome know about the spy world, it'll be like the A-Team and we'll help out, but only when we're absolutely needed because of the baby." According to Chris Fedek, Chuck won't just treat the Buy More as a front, but be concerned with it being profitable. As such, he uses Awesome in a new promotional campaign. We'll also "see the original Buy More commercial that Big Mike starred in back in 1981."

10/20/11: Tid-Bits from Comic-Con. From Chris Fedek: "Chuck has to be far greater now. It's very much about him coming up with those clever, smart solutions again, and having to be a real spy... By the third episode, Morgan will have frosted his tips. Chuck will now be running Carmichael Industries and their big competition is the Verbanski Corp., the best spy company in the world." From Joshua Gomez: "Unlike Chuck, where he thought things through and cared about the welfare of other human beings, Morgan just wants to hurt people and take revenge." Casey will have a romantic arc with a character named Gertrude Verbanski (yes, the same one from the rival spy company).
