Scorpion Season 3 Episode 11 "Wreck the Halls" Review


Team Scorpion's mountain getaway on Christmas Eve turns deadly when they cross paths with gun-runners and Ralph is kidnapped.

This was a really interesting episode that had some weird turns that didn't make all that much sense and a lot of the problems in this episode came out from sheer coincidence. I did really like the idea of the team going on a technology free trip into the woods to celebrate Christmas. It was a little weird with the guy that they saved how quickly they came to trust him even though later that came back to bite them because they asked the wrong question to see whether he was good or bad. I did really like all the thing with Toby trying to make this a perfect Christmas for Happy and everything that went into that, it was especially nice because Happy was trying to do the same for him. A lot of the coincidence moments were things like when one of the gun runners just happens to see their government issue licenses plates just before he walks far enough to get jumped on by Cabe and Walter. Then they just happen to leave Ralph alone with the true bad guy,  and there just happens to be a strong enough fire causing the gun runner to find them. It was really cool how they managed to use the gun runners walkie talkies as a way to contact help when they are stuck in the cabin with the men with guns waiting outside and they had nothing. It was also really fun how they went all Home Alone style on the gun runners when they eventually tried to get into the house. I did really like the moment between Happy and Sylvester where she tells him to just be himself. I am really sad that Tim left because I was finally kind liked seeing him around. The change in tone between Walter and Tim at the end of this episode was a little strange but also kind of sweet. And I understand why he left because he truly is a leader and he can't be the leader of Walter's team so he needed to go somewhere else. And just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode.
