'Chuck': 'Gretas' Isaiah Mustafa and Stacy Keibler return in March

We've known for a while that "Chuck" would be bringing back two of the actors who played "Greta" earlier this season. Now we know exactly when.Isaiah Mustafa and Stacy Keibler will have a return engagement as Gretas Nos. 2 and 3 in the March 14 episode, NBC says. The episode is called "Chuck vs. the A-Team," and in it, Chuck (Zachary Levi) worries that the Gretas are so perfect that they'll make him and his occasionally malfunctioning Intersect obsolete.
Also in the episode, Chuck and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) suspect that Casey (Adam Baldwin) may have gone rogue, and they investigate. You'll also see returning guest star Robin Givens as Jane Bentley, the woman who offered Casey a new gig at the end of "Chuck vs. the Masquerade."
"Chuck" creators Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz promised us earlier this month that the "shameless stunt casting" of the Gretas would have a payoff. We don't know exactly what that is yet, but we're going to enter the realm of pure speculation here and posit the following theory:
What if the job Bentley has offered Casey is to be the team leader of Project Greta?
The pieces would seem to fit: Bentley and her project made some major add-ons to Castle in the last episode. Two previously seen Gretas are coming back into the story just as Casey considers a new assignment -- which, Bentley says, will let Casey put his training to greater use than on Team Chuck. We could be (and often are) 180 degrees off in our "Chuck" theorizing, but it feels like a logical place for the story to go.
What say you, "Chuck"-leheads? What do you think is behind the return of the Gretas?

Adam Baldwin better not leave the team!
the good agents who are being punished, like roan montgomery was a few weeks ago
The only one not in a relationship is Casey. He would probably be attracted to someone who is an equal.
I really do love the show "CHUCK", and hope NBC has the good sense to keep it airing.
I think you may be onto something with the Casey-Team Greta angle. (Didn't he already save Jeffster from a Greta?) Though, now that you've "zigged", i.e., published your idea, Fedak and Schwartz may zag.
Whatever they do, I love it! Thanks for a fun diversion! It's great!
Let's hope this is the final season for Chuck and NBC can do away with this nonsense once and for all. This show has been tanking badly as of late and finishes 4th in its timeslot and can't anchor a primetime schedule effectively.
meh! Bring back Summer Glau!
Let's hope this is not the final season for Chuck and NBC can keep it around another year. This show has been getting better as of late and finishes off a ruff timeslot and has been a anchor of a primetime schedule effectively.
Why has no one noticed Chuck is coming back on Pi day? (3/14)
I think Vivian (Volkoff's daughter) might have something to do with the Greatas. An even better plot is to find out that Vivian is Chuck and Elle's half-sister. I apologize if I'm giving away any possible spoilers.
I think that the gretas are the test agents for the Intersect 3.0 that the government has had Manoosh developing since they took him into "Protective Custody" last season. As Beckman was saying in her testimony to the intel panel last year Chuck was poised to become the weapon they (the government) had always wanted.
