Scorpion, “Talismans,” was written by Alex Katsnelson and directed by Sam Hill. Katsnelson has also written for The Tomorrow People, Golden Boy, and Chuck. The episode airs on November 24 at 9/8c on CBS. It’s an action packed episode that you won’t want to miss!
The team is whisked away to help with a highly classified military operation that takes them into the field in Bosnia after a military plane is shoot down. The team is tasked with recovering the plane’s stealth technology. They have to work with a Navy Seals team and naturally, things don’t go as planned! Some of the team grow closer, and Walter’s (Elyes Gabel) sister, Megan (Camille Guaty) spends some time with him and in the garage with Sylvester (Ari Stidham). We get some backstory on how Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Sylvester met Walter. During the episode, Walter takes Paige’s (Katharine McPhee) advice, and we start to see how the team has grown. Paige proves her value to the team, and Cabe (Robert Patrick) tells her she’s the glue of the team. Watch for a great fight scene toward the end of the episode. Neither Drew (Brendan Hines) nor Ralph (Riley B Smith) are in the episode.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the episode – so as not to give too much away, I won’t include who said them or put them in any particular order….
“I’m the tech-guy. I’m helping.”
“Happy’s in charge.”
“Igor loves USA!”
“None of you saw this.”
“Let’s go to the creepy cottage on the hill.”
“You’re chopping my nuts.”
“Get your game face on.”
And my final “tease” for the episode is that you’ll get to see Cabe braiding toilet paper – and you’ll have to watch to figure out why! Don’t forget to tune in to Scorpion November 24 at 9/8c on CBS. You can see the promo for the episode here and the promotional photos here.
