"Chuck Versus the Seduction" is the second episode of Season 2 of the U.S. television series Chuck, first airing October 6, 2008. Chuck must go undercover to retrieve the Cipher from Sasha Banachek (Melinda Clarke), known as the Black Widow. But in order to get close to his target, Chuck must learn the art of seduction from the legendary debonair spy Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette).
The episode begins with Chuck and Casey talking in the Buy More parking lot about the destruction of the new intersect in the previous episode. Chuck has a conversation with his best friend Morgan Grimes and believes his life isn't going anywhere, when Sarah walks in the Store and kisses him as part of the cover. Sarah leads Chuck down a massive underground bunker (Castle) the CIA built for operations at the Orange Orange. General Diane Beckman tells them that the real Cipher might be in the hands of the former KGB operative Sasha Banachek (also known as the Black Widow) and that she is in town to sell it. The team is told to find legendary spy Roan Montgomery, as he is the reason Banachek was sent to a Bulgarian prison for seven years and knows more about her than anyone. During the briefing, Chuck walks out saying he won't help, but Sarah manages to convince him otherwise. Chuck flashes on a picture of Roan, and finds his location. At Roan home, the team find the door open. Believing someone has forced their way in, they draw their weapons and enter. The team finds the house ransacked, and they find a seemingly dead Montgomery under the bed. But they discover Montgomery is in a drunken haze, and had been drinking and partying the night before.

The film was marketed with the tagline "Alone... terrified... trapped like an animal." Reviews for the film have mainly been negative which resulted in three Razzie nominations, including two for Fairchild.

The Seduction is the first full-length LP by Manchester post-punk group Ludus. It was originally released as a double EP on 12" vinyl by New Hormones in 1982.
The album, considered by many to be the band's masterpiece, contains some of their most accessible and melodic songs (such as "Mirror Mirror", "The Escape Artist" and "See The Keyhole"), as well as some of their most adventurous work (such as the 10 minutes long improvisational instrumental "The Dynasty"). In keeping with the band's penchant for experimentation and unusual song structures, the album's key track, Herstory, practically consists of variations on 4 different songs (including the track 5 of this album, "Inheritance", and two previously released songs, "Mutilate" and "Mother's Hour"), sliding effortlessly one into another. The album also contains an extended, 6 minutes long version of the previous single, "My Cherry Is In Sherry".
Where did she go I do not know
And which direction was it snowing?
I'll turn around again
Paint over pictures of the world
I can't believe she gave me alcohol
I thought of Jessebell
I hung from a wrecking ball to see a fashion show
I think you know me well
Juliet! You know you want it!
I've been receiving strange phone calls from the city
I will not extend my hand to the general
And I do not think the people will remember us
I hung from a wrecking ball to view a fashion show
I think you know me well
I've been jumping over buildings
I've been sleeping in the street
"Mr. Jones" will be right with you, everyone just have a seat
Well I'll meet you at the river where we both can clear our heads
I think we would look great dead
I've got to find, to find the princess, she's in another castle
and dancing with the Capulets
We're so "crazy in love"
