Perhaps NBC will expand upon this.
Awesome ep. PleasePleasePlease let there be more!
I’m betting Chuck will voluntarily re-intersect himself somehow. Elly, or his Dad, or maybe Sarah, will be in danger and the only way to save them will be to re-zap himself.
I’m sensing a pending press of the Big Reset Button.

I’m thinking that Chuck’s Dad may THINK he removed the Intersect, but somehow that’s going to backfire since he was under pressure when he finished the Intersect and he made some mistake. It would be interesting if somehow he got even MORE valuable with whatever backfire happens.
Many ways to change things yet.
And there are still so many fun little things out there with Bryce and Jill that would be great if they showed up another season or two down the line… this show CANNOT be canceled, dammit!
There seems to be some buzz building on teh intarnets about getting Chuck renewed for next season.
An NY Times interview with series creator Josh Schwartz:
From critic Alan Sepinwall’s open letter to NBC to save Chuck:
The blog Give Me My [del]Remote[/del] Chuck wants you to Be a Nerd…Join the Herd and save Chuck.
Tim Goodman in the San Francisco Chronicle said of the show, “It had two seasons to become a hit and didn’t. Odds are that NBC will give up on it. The variable in any discussion about NBC is this: The network doesn’t have a lot going for it. When you’re in fourth place (in what is essentially a four-network race), you either feel grateful for mediocre ratings or you toss everything on the fire.”
BTW, my prediction is that if the show is renewed that Chuck and Ellie’s mother will be the focus of the B plot. Perhaps Ellie will get pregnant and want her mother to be present at the birth. But mom is actually working for Fulcrum, or actually runs it.
Can’t wait till Monday 
What’s the back story on Chuck and and Ellie’s mother? I can’t remember if they ever brought it up on the show – for some reason I thought they believed her to be dead, but I may be confusing that with another show.
I wouldn’t put it past them going this route, but the long-lost-mom-believed-dead-is-actually-the-bad-guy plotline is almost becoming cliche now – first in Alias and more recently in a current show (spoiled below since some people may not be up to speed).
Prison Break
I wonder if TV tropes has an entry for this.
Ooops!
I couldn’t remember either, but Wikipedia says that she left when he was in the fifth grade.
