First, I would like to thank ScorplinginTraining and Heleen for their suggestions. I used EQ, just like ScorplinginTraining suggested because I don't have any ideas right now, especially after the "The Walking Dead" mid-season finale. Does anyone here watch the show too? Because I'm devasted, I swear. I can't stop crying and, if anyone here does watch it, you'll recognize what Paige is going through.
I tried my best here but, like I said, I'm still oh so sad about the last episode so this turned out to be a giant mess. So I apologize.
E - EQ
Any ideas for F?
I don't own Scorpion *sighs*.
Cabe enters the garage and the scene in front of him scares him a little bit.
The group of geniuses are gathered around Walter's table, looking at Paige, who's sitting on the sofa crying her eyes out.
He thinks for a minute before walking towards the geniuses.
From where he is, he can see Ralph on the kitchen preparing a snack for him.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"We don't know." Sylvester answers him, still looking at their liaison.
He stares at the woman in front of them.
"She barged in here an hour ago, saying that her TV was broken and that she needed to watch something." Happy says, gesturing towards Paige. "I offered to go to her place and fix it for her, but she said something about the last episode of something and she sat in front of the TV and didn't move since."
"I know the dynamics behind it, why she has grown attached to it." Toby offers, "but I swear I can't understand it."
Paige is sobbing loudly now, murmuring "no, no" every now and then.
"Someone is probably dying." Sylvester says, looking at the TV.
They all turn to see what Paige is watching.
The show is coming to an end. There's sad music on the background and the camera is slowly closing off in a male character, that's sitting with his back to the wall.
She turns the TV off as soon as the credits roll over. Standing up, she drops the pillow on the sofa and, using her sleeves, she wipes the tears from her eyes.
"Are you okay, kiddo?" Cabe asks, his tone light.
She nods, her eyes still full of tears. "I am. It's just... he was just..."
She tries to articulate some words but her throat closes and soon the tears are falling all over again.
Happy raises her hands in surrender, slowly walking away from her. Sylvester soon does the same.
"I can't understand why you are crying." Walter states, offering her some tissues. "It's just a show."
That did it. Toby and Cabe take a step back as she snaps her head towards Walter.
"Just a show?" She hisses, ready to punch him. "This is not "just a show", Walter! It's—"
"Mom," Ralph approaches her, holding a bowl with ice cream on it. "I put some for you. Do you want it?"
She bites her lip, trying to suppress the grin that's threatening to come out. "You're the best, you know that?"
"Yes." He nods, smiling proudly.
Paige grabs the bowl from him and, throwing one last dirty look at Walker, walks towards the couch.
"If you want to make it," Ralph says, patting his mentor on the arm, "you need to learn something: never make fun of her shows."
At this, the genius looks positively scared. "Is there a possibility that Paige will break up with me over this?"
"Of course not, Walt." Cabe says, patting his shoulder.
The brown haired genius shakes his head. "How much I need to improve my EQ for me to comprehend what's happening?"
At this, Cabe gave up any attempt of holding back his laughter.
