The latest episode of CBS action-drama series “Scorpion” brought our nerdy team in a museum for another covert mission. Unlike in the movies where displays start to move at night, the museum at night in “Scorpion” is a bit rough and dangerous.

While dangerous, the museum setting for this episode is one fun ride. But before we plunge into the museum mission, it is worthy to put into emphasis the revelation last episode about who Happy’s husband really is. While it is still a mystery why it has to be really a big secret, it has also been revealed that Happy married the husband to help him get the green card and is only staying married with the guy until the waiting period prescribes.

Happy is also pregnant which motivated Toby to push for Walter releasing Happy from her marriage. He tried to reason with Walter even disclosing the fact that Happy has been bounced from orphanage to orphanage in her childhood and does not want to move into motherhood without being married to Toby. However, Walter fears that divorcing Happy would mean the possibility of getting deported.

Cabe revealed that there is a way to expedite the immigration process that would mean an early divorce between Walter and Happy. Walter was afraid that the extra scrutiny that they will be getting will eventually expose their sham marriage. But apparently he is still convinced to go forward with it after Toby’s insistence.

Going back to the mission, our favorite nerds-turned-agents went to investigate to solve a robbery case. But it turned out that it was not a simple case as they initially thought. The crew was called for a job at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. However, things quickly escalated after it is found that the establishment is under a robbery situation.

The robbery turned out to be a nuclear threat as thieves targeted the museum looking for materials needed to enrich a nuclear bomb. But our “Scorpion Six”, as usual, used their intelligence to out-think a crew of thieves in order to save the museum’s collection.

After the mission became successful, Toby is now faced with the challenges of fatherhood in the upcoming episodes. “Scorpion” airs Monday 10PM at CBS.
