Agreed on how Chuck was acting. I also think him turning her down might have had something to do with the reality of that situation. If Sarah ran away with him, would she be happy in three years time? Being a spy is all she knows, all she's good at. Giving that all up could have major consequences for her, feeling restless and having to hide and all that. Chuck wouldn't have been able to see his family again either. His explanation didn't quite come off like that though, which is really the thing that bothered me the most.
HOWEVER. I liked the episodes a lot, and the the swap in perspective re: who is pining after who is really cool. Sarah's feelings have always been shoved so far down we hardly ever outright saw them, but they are so fresh and angsty now and gah I will really like seeing this dynamic from her pov. I have much hope for the rest of the season! At least mega angst = awesome stuff when they finally give in to each other.
