Do you think Sarah was in love with Chuck before Chuck truly fell in love with her? I’m rewatching 2.07 and just couldn’t stop thinking about him telling Sarah it feels good to be with someone who knows the real him and I struggle with his feelings/attitude/actions towards Sarah in the Jill arc and just how broken Sarah seems during it. Just made me curious what your thoughts were during those episodes! :)
I think Chuck is a huge massive colossal IDIOT about Jill 100% of the time. In my head, Sarah does fall for Chuck around the same time he falls for her, MAYBE a little sooner? I don’t think she knows it, but she definitely fell for him at some point during that very first date. She literally says that in Chuck Versus the Other Guy.
But as for the Jill arc (barf!!!!), Chuck is a complete and total jackass through all of that, but I also think the poor guy is just trying to find something he can hold onto that is *normal*. He’s still in love with Sarah through all of it. But he’s immature (they both are) and has HUGE hangups with Sarah but especially with Jill. Jill is like his kryptonite and not in a positive way, like how some people use it sometimes. She’s literally like…. Chuck poison. He absolutely puts WAY too much importance on his relationship with her in college, probably because it was most likely the only big relationship he had before Sarah came along. And it ended so horribly and was linked with such a catastrophic event in his life.Â
So he has this idealized vision of Jill from college, in spite of the fact that she treated him like SHIT when she found out he “cheated” and got expelled. But then on top of that, the Intersect has uprooted his existence. Everything is up in the air. Nothing is solid. Nothing is there to reassure him or make him feel like his feet are on the ground. He can’t even be with the woman he loves because she’s his handler and a CIA agent. And here comes this piece of his past before all of the Intersect shit, someone who like got her fucking talons all buried in him, and she knows just how to manipulate him to make him think she loves him which is like…21 year old Chuck’s DRREEEAAAMMMM… and she uses the shit out of him.Â
Like imagine….Jill knows about his involvement with the feds, knows Casey and Sarah are agents…and she’s totally disconnected from all of it and wants to be with him. Finally he has something to hold onto.
Am I excusing the way he treats Sarah? No. He says some shit. And he’s an idiot. But I think she gets everything I talked about too…to a degree. He wants and deserves something regular, something grounding, someone he can actually be with. And it hurts for her to see him like that with another woman, but she’s realistic about the fact that she and Chuck just aren’t gonna happen because they can’t. (But also she’s like wtf Chuck she used you and destroyed your heart can you at least find a better one cuz this one’s shit)
That all said, I do feel like Sarah might’ve fallen first, BUT I don’t think the Jill arc is a good determination of whether Chuck’s in love with Sarah or not. I think he’s a fucking idiot…who still loves Sarah even if he’s trying to date Jill again.
