We come here every week, knowing thatScorpionis ridiculous, but this week was absolutely, certifiably,genius-levelbonkers.
And honestly, its bonkers from moment go.
You remember Linda shes our resident bomb girl who loves talking smack to her mom about Walter.

And then, after last week, Shadow Cabe is still hanging out.
Ralph seems to be around more, and then theres the whole Scorpion working-crew.
This is practically becoming a Shonda Rhimes ensemble cast.
The Backstory
But whats important (at least to Toby and Sylvester) is Armstrongs video game prowess.
He even happens to beat Walters high score.
Walter is not impressed at all because his intellectfarsurpasses Shadow Cabes, but Shadow Cabe hasthoseforearms, so yeah.
Draw, I guess.
Well never be worthy of Ralph, yall.
He swings by because hes working on locating and rescuing the remains of fallen Marines across the world.
Unfortunately, they wont allow John and his team to go in for retrieval without more proof.
The team presses him because even if its a task worth taking, its notScorpion-level intense.
The missions importance is, unsurprisingly, lost on Walter.
The team is shocked to find out when they get to Vietnam that the land is already being excavated.
Shadow Cabe steps in with a startlingly impressive grasp of the Vietnamese language.
The trio is able to get the nursing home patients to a bunker, but its locked.
Walter insists that he can open it with thermometers.
Thats right the man responsible for killing Johns father is currently being helped into a safety bunker.
They immediately forgive because thats what life is about: forgiveness.
This episode is out of control.
John gets the closure hes looking for, and reckon it’s the excavating is going to stop.
But the team doesnt have long to celebrate.
Oh, because that category three storm has turned into a concentrated super cell storm.
Also theres a tornado.
Also this is like aForrest Gump/Twisterhybrid.
Also Karen Cartwright loves Jason Street.
In short, everything is out of control this episode.
Its not a big deal though because its not like they could escape it anyway.
Pandova looks super confused, but Shadow Cabe seems pretty chill with it.
Hes going to fit in well.
The plan works, but then the truck dies, so what do they do?
Walter ties a belt to a tree, and he and Paige literally recreatethis scene fromTwister.
At this point, Im not making comparisons.
Its the same movie.
Paige and Walter dangle in the air.
She screams that she cant hold on, but he promises that he wont let her go.
Finally the tornado ceases, and they fall to the ground.
But the most important one was having John Pandova deliver his dads dog tags to his mom.
It was in that moment that Walter finally comes to understand what closure means.
He turns to that video game to get his high score back.
Paiges Feel Board
And thats the end.
Well, for now.
