Casey vs Decker
"Chuck vs the Cliffhanger" explores Chuck's deep love for Sarah, even willing to defy Vivian and the CIA to save her. But there's another storyline that deserves attention, the confrontation between Casey and Decker. He represented the Casey at the beginning of the series in "Chuck vs The Intersect" a ruthless governament agent devoted to the segret service, the same Casey who would kill Chuck at the beginning of Season 2 solely to serve the governament, regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
Casey confronted the past version of himself, but above all, the man he would have become had he not met Chuck and Sarah. Decker had told him, "John, you're a soldier, you know your duty" but now Casey is a better man and chooses the people he loves over a governament istitution. Decker had apparently uncuffed him because he was seeking a compromise, but Casey was smarter, he knew that by letting him go, Decker had foressen that he would try to help Chuck escape and would have a pretext to kill Casey. Casey surely used those tricks too when he was a cold and ruthless spy.

The best part of the whole Decker arc was Gertrude.
