Walter isnt terribly against Shadow Cabe until he starts a flirt campaign with Paige.
The feds want this system installed very quickly so theyve come to Team Scorpion.
That was from where Shadow Cabe was shot in the back during a mission.
Even with that big reveal, Toby and Walter stay suspicious.
The Mission
Once the team arrives in Africa, they plant the system pretty quickly.
But when they go to test the system, seems like it works but almosttooquickly.
Walter notices little markers that lead him to believe that Shadow Cabe has been to this base before.
They sneak under a small shack inside they find a box with a… bowl (??).
Cabe tries to talk his way out of being on their property, but they knock him out.
The team is able to wire tap Cabes location and hear that hes being tortured.
The underlying mission here is to overthrow his entire system.
That is why Cabe and Shadow Cabe scanned the bowl.
They were getting its measurements and makeup to re-create it with the 3-D printer back at the the base.
They re-create the bowl, dye it, and bake it.
Tim comes up with a plan.
Elsewhere, Sly and Happy work together to sneak into the shack to replace the bowl before the trade.
But Sly drops the bowl, breaking it before they can replace it.
to kill one soldier and send the other one running.
Tim doesnt respond well to that, but its Paige that keeps him calm.
To be honest, this episode (and season) is a big turning point for Paige.
I havent felt so refreshed by Katharine McPhees performance since those Neutrogena ads she used to do.
Big win for Paige/Katharine/emotional white women/me.
Armstrong makes up a story about how he and Paige met in Paris.
In the shed, somehow Cabe is able to kickbox his captor and knock him out.
Walter cuts him down as Sylvester breaks in to be with the rest of the team.
But in the main shed, Paige and Tim cant hold off Copley any longer.
Shadow Cabe tries to defend Paige, but Copley says hes going to kill her anyway.
Shadow Cabe and Paige run to escape, but right as Paige gets in the SUV, SHE.
They manage to escape and grab Happy in the process.
But have no fear, yall.
They share a tender moment.
And in that case, Im totally nominating Jason Street, or um, Shadow Cabe…
Lets just call him Armstrong.
Whatre your thoughts on this new handsome devil?
Can he be trusted, and are Walters feelings for Paige eventually going to win out?
I think we all know that Walter loves a competition.
I suppose well find out soon enough.
