Development
On July 13, 2008, Jordana Brewster was officially announced as joining the cast of Chuck in the role of his ex-girlfriend from college, Jill Roberts. Although Jill had been referenced numerous times throughout the first and second seasons, she had yet to actually appear in an episode. Most details about her up until her appearance were revealed by Chuck in dialogue. The most significant information about their relationship was in "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater", where it was first revealed that Jill was a friend of Bryce Larkin's. Bryce introduced them not long after he and Chuck first met, referring back to the pilot episode when Chuck spaces out while remembering how close the three of them were in Stanford.
In March 2009, Jordana Brewster stated in interviews that she would be returning to play Jill in "Chuck Versus the First Kill". She was released from prison after being arrested at the end of "Chuck Versus the Gravitron" to assist the team in locating Chuck's captured father. The episode focused heavily on trust, particularly how much Chuck could trust Jill in reference to her several betrayals in "Chuck Versus the Gravitron".
