Then weвЂ™re introduced to a guy from Homeland Security who wants Walter (who I bet is a huge jerk) named Gallo, who Walter had worked with before. Toby: Psychological genius (so essentially in the Homeland Security guyвЂ™s words: the best shrink.) Grew up poor. Parents have been dead/he hasnвЂ™t seen them? Happy Quinn (goes by Happy) who is a mechanical genius. Sylvester: Mathematician (states percentage of success throughout the episode.) Now we get to meet WalterвЂ™s friends or at least coworkers. WeвЂ™re then introduced to a waitress Paige and her son Ethan, who is probably a genius since heвЂ™s playing chess with salt and pepper shakers. Which, even if many super smart people canвЂ™t ~connect~ emotionally, they can have wonderful relationships so not really excited by that reveal. So essentially like every show about every genius ever. Walter, portrayed by Elyes Gabel, is Scorpion and is next shown breaking up with his girlfriend because he canвЂ™t connect with her emotionally and she calls him a million miles from normal. Well thatвЂ™s one way to introduce a character.

We start off in Ireland with helicopters coming down to a guy farming and then barreling into his house to get вЂњScorpionвЂќ who is вЂjust a kidвЂ™ who hacked into NASA.

With that all said, here is my recap and review of Scorpion! While settings usually donвЂ™t change, the backdrop of each weekвЂ™s episode is still important. IвЂ™ll be grading the characters and the plot which includes the вЂ“issue of the week- and overarching mythos (that will run through the entire show), and setting from a scale of A to E. Triggers for this episode: Ableism because of the way they discuss geniuses and intelligence as well as planes.
