The gang quickly reunites because the world needs saving of course.
When youre an adult, summer vacations really arent that different than when youre a kid.
That is especially applicable to theScorpiongang.

You see, Paige and I arent so different.
Im so common sucha Paige.
Its me, you, Paige, and Scorpion.
Oh, and Cabe.
Who has Cabe been hanging out with?
Thats right, Gene Simmons is literally onScorpion.
Granted its for about 15 seconds, but hes here sans make-up, sporting a police uniform.
And thats where Cabe comes in.
Gene getting called by Homeland Security is just silly), and he gets his job back.
Cabe goes and grabs Walter from physical therapy after his car accident.
Unfortunately, he has to give that up because Cabe has been tasked with reassembling the Scorpion team.
When the team returns, theres immediately tension between Paige and Walter.
What kind of tension?
Who knows really, but he did call Paiges cupcakes moist, and thats not a euphemism.
In short, we all dropped a lot.
Fortunately, that intercom system that Paige installed is working amazingly and everyone on #TeamScorpion heard the confession.
Andthatswhy we dont let Paige do ANYTHING of any scientific importance, and yes, an intercom is scientific.
to her last season.
She passive aggressively agrees that no fraternization is important.
Shes interrupted, per the usual, when Adriana Molina pops in with Cabe.
Who is Adriana Molina, you ask?
Shes the new head of Homeland Security.
Adriana Molina is capable and educated and really knows how to revolutionize a feminine pantsuit.
Most of all, she has absolutely no time for Scorpions nonsense and makes that known from the get-go.
We dont get a lot of time with Adriana before she starts in on this weeks case.
A quick confession: I hate Paige because I am Paige.
You are my weakness, Katharine McPhee.
Meanwhile, Paige reveals that shes in a similar position because shes having nightmares of becoming a waitress again.
I feel you, girl.
Theres no time to sort through everyones issues though because theres an atomic bomb functioning as a Russian satellite.
Remember those 10 million people?
Sylvester freaks out and apologizes, but it turns out that the satellites unexpected coursewasntthe Russians doing.
We cant even be sure.
Its like every fear that you had while giving a PowerPoint presentation, brought to life in GIF form.
While attempting to stop the satellite, Walters computer gets a virus.
Ironically enough, its from the hospital footage of Paige kissing him.
In the process of fixing it, he misses the opportunity to stop the bomb.
Fortunately, this strikes up a fire in Walter and he figures out another way stop the satellite.
The last item might be optional.
Happy is finishing hooking up the balloon and the battery backfires, throwing her backward and hitting her eye.
It certainly does not mean saving the whole world.
And then Toby reveals that he can hear everything theyre saying.
Honestly, why is someone not doing a standard check before having these big emotional epiphanies?
Shes also suddenly responsible for saving Walter.
The crazy part is when he redirected it, he sent it spiraling toward Paige and Walter.
All of a sudden, the thought of being a waitress again reallyisntso terrible.
Fortunately, Paige is really handy with a carabiner and connects herself to Walter.
They drop into the sky just as the satellite flies through the balloon and into the ocean.
That goes for Toby too, at least as far as Happys concerned.
Its true because there was almost an atomic bomb.
He makes a valid point.
Some of the best parts ofScorpionare when it pokes fun at itself.
Cabe gets a little meta when Walter asks if hes happy to be back with these immature geniuses.
Cabe responds and says that hes been working with actors for weeks and that this is much better.
I see what you did there, show runners.
They go in for their first conscious kiss.
Its pretty sloppy and messy, but its passionate.
Essentially, it was theScorpionof first kisses.
Yeah, definitely no chemistry.
What do you think the rest of the season has in store?
Can Walter and Paige actually develop a relationship, and when exactly do we get to see Ralph again?
Hes the real MVP of the show.
