Scorpion Season 3 Episode 13 "Faux Money Maux Problems" Review


When Team Scorpion is duped into producing counterfeit money for a foreign entity intent on ruining the U.S. economy, Paige must rely on her mother Veronica's skills as a grifter to save them.

This was a kind of fun and weird episode that was entertaining to watch but I didn't really care much for it as a whole. I like the idea of the group being tricked into doing this counterfeit job and all the other tricks that followed that. It was also really great how they brought Paige's mother back into the mix in a really interesting and useful way. And I liked how they kept bringing up all these different things that Paige's mother had taught Paige in order to survive. Then I really liked the moments with Toby and Happy doing their own things while the rest of the group were kidnapped. And it was really nice how all the problems for the group kind of came full circle where one of their first main problems actually ending up helping them escape in the end of this episode. The things I didn't really care for were how simple a lot of their problems were fixed. Like the whole escape plan for Walter, Cabe, and Sylvester just was so simplistic because they weren't actually trapped in another country and the guy at the bar they met just happened to have everything they needed to help them get Paige and her mother out as well. And all the jokes made about Paige's mother were also not all that great and seemed really unnecessarily thrown in there. But I do have to say overall this was a really entertaining episode I just didn't care much for it.
