A Toby and Happy dance?
It sounds like the perfect way to spend Christmas Eve, except Toby is being a total Grinch.
And then theres Walter, who is off on his own, muttering through his thoughts.

He tells Paige that hes just running calculations, but its more than that.
Toby rides with Walter and tries to address the muttering.
He opens up Walters glove compartment to find Megans ashes in a coffee can.
The urn they gave me was black.
Its been hit by a storm, and the storms have knocked down a tree and crushed a wall.
Game on, Scorpion.
The Execution
The immediate threat is a giant crack with water spewing out.
The long-term threat is that theres too much water being held back by the dam to begin with.
And then Paige points out that theres no plan to evacuate, which is just crazy.
Someone has to rappel down the dam to do the fix, though.
Cabe loses his dashing blazer and volunteers.
(Fact: Robert Patrickactuallyrappelled down a dam for this scene.
Meanwhile, I almost called in sick today because my stomach hurt.)
The freeze works, but Cabe only has 90 seconds to fix the crack.
Thats when he takes the quick-dry concrete, makes himself some stairs, and then CLIMBS THE DAM.
We arent worthy of you, Cabe.
It involves a big snake that will flush out the clogged pipe with a battery and a motor.
The team frees the snake, but it catches Happys foot and pulls her into the pipe.
Shes pulled free, but the turbines are failing and the dam is still compromised.
It has nothing to do with science or technology.
Its a video of a little girl with Santa Claus from the towns Christmas parade the day before.
I know Ive been hard on Paige this season, but its only becauseI am a Paige.
You read that right reverse.
Toby and Happy go to the top of the dam and throw the bomb.
Walter starts panicking and yells for the team to find Ferret Bueller, who has escaped from his cage.
Walter finds the ferret and asks who left the cage open.
Paige tells Walter that everything is okay, but he yells out, I could have lost her!
I dont want that.
His voice breaks as he begins to cry.
He says, I didnt want to lose her.
I didnt want to lose my sister.
He locks eyes with Sylvester and says, I miss her so much.
The team surrounds Walter as he turns around, looking at the rocket.
He says, I have a great idea.
Cabe calls in a favor and gets clearance for an official launch.
Toby says, Your logic makes no sense, before laying an amazing kiss on her.
Were officially back in business, Quintis fans.
Right before the launch, Walter hands Sylvester Megans ashes and says, The husband should do the honors.
They launch the rocket into the sky as the team looks on.
Walter tells Paige that he heard what she said about opening up.
She puts out her hand, and Walter grabs it, making it the happiest Christmas Eve of all.
Paiges Feel Board
Ralph: Downstairs on the phone.
I gave her a soda.
So thats half a season down and quite an emotional roller coaster as far as Team Scorpion is concerned.
With a team full of almost-couples now (holding out for you Cabe and Sly!
), will the teams dynamic change?
I guess well see in a few weeks.
Happy holidays, you crazy geniuses.
See you in the New Year.
