Scorpion Season 3 Episode 16 "Keep It in Check, Mate" Review

Walter and Sylvester enter an international chess competition under cover on foreign soil for Team Scorpion in order to extricate a U.S. spy before her identity is exposed.

This was a really fun episode that at moments felt a little too overdone but it was still really entertaining to watch. I did really like the idea of the three-way avoidance of chess between Toby, Walter, and Sylvester. I was also really fun to watch Sylvester get very aggressively angry about playing the game and Walter coming up with simple small cheats to that would bug Sylvester in an attempt to make sure Sylvester is not better than Walter at something. I did like the moment where Walter and Sylvester are competing against each other and one of the announcers says "they must be having such high intellectual thoughts," when they are not. one of the moments that felt a little over done was their whole escape plan when of course there one helper was caught and taken prisoner. I feel it would have been better if there helpers position had been compromised and they just had to get her to a different location instead of trying to do everything on their own. That being said how they did eventually escape the cops was really cool. All the moments with Happy were very interesting with her doing everything she can to save her father from going to prison. Which seemed kind of odd to me because I feel waiting two years to see him again is a better option than sending him to Mexico. But overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode.
