Could this be the happy ending we always wanted

What I love about this episode is we get to see some of the emotions Sarah had to hide on a daily basis.

Chuck, by now, thinks his feelings for Sarah are unrequited. But in this episode we see a glimpse of a Sarah longing for a normal life with Chuck; one she thinks will never happen and she can never let it be known.

The fulcrum arc continues with the possibility of Chuck succumbing to fulcrum, dying, or gaining new powers.
