Previously on Scorpion...
It's Quincy Berkstead.
The man who stole your fiancée?
You're the reason Amy left you.
The only person you blame is me.
We're married?
So, tell me more about this dream.
There's nothing to tell.
The best part was getting to meet you.
I got
my own exercise regimen. I'm not doing this.
Like hell you're not.
Homeland stated specifically, "All agents
"returning to the field after extended medical absence,
"sabbatical, or other leave
must pass the federal physical fitness standards."
Director Carson is saying your suspension falls
under "other leave." You have to take the test.
Carson's just mad 'cause I beat him in court.
You fail, you get desk duty.
Which means you can't be Scorpion's liaison.
Good news is, my workout works.
We do resistance running with parachutes
and sled training...
There's no way I can pass that test.
It was originally designed for recruits coming out of college.
And that's who will take your job.
It's unbelievable.
You dedicate your whole life to your work--
blood, sweat, and tears.
And then one day, younger people
with less experience come in and take over.
Not going to let that happen.
Go grab your gym clothes, okay?
We've got work to do.
I'm sure you'll do great, Paige.
You're smart and very organized.
Thank you, sweetie.
Uh, don't thank me.
Thank the Walteration One.
I don't even want to know.
I created an artificial intelligence device programmed
with over a billion possible stimuli responses
in preparation for today's doomsday bunker inspection.
I don't like those things.
- Creepy. - It's progress.
I mentioned that we were almost out of Fruity Moons,
and the Walteration
ordered a new box online
without even asking.
And that's the problem.
Nobody does anything for themselves anymore.
Nobody can spell because of spell-check,
can't remember a phone number because of the speed dial.
Mark my words,
someday it's gonna be Rise of the Machines.
And who's that gonna be good for?
Robots are the future.
Anyway, we got to go. Bunker's not close.
Happy and Toby better be back from their honeymoon soon.
Actually, just Happy.
Oh, right. How did Toby take the news about the job?
Why are you asking me?
You handle our EQ issues.
And it's gonna be emotional for Toby.
You know, falls within your job description, not mine.
What'll be emotional for Toby?
Oh. Hey, guys.
How was your honeymoon?
That's a nice diversion attempt.
What's going on? Nothing.
Nothing major. We just have that bunker inspection
for SafeCorp Survival.
Right. The doomsday guys.
SafeCorp Survival.
Founded in 2004.
A survival preparation company specializing
in post-apocalyptic housing.
I don't even want to know.
Seems SafeCorp wants their AI checked
and their coding screened
and their facial recognition software tested.
Yeah, probably want
their system analyzed
by the world's most qualified behaviorist
so that people don't go cuckoo for Armageddon Puffs
while spending five years underground.
Right?
Well, yes and no.
- I'm out of here. - It appears
SafeCorp has their own in-house behaviorist,
so they asked that you... not come along.
I'm-I'm so... I'm so sorry.
My-my hearing must be going,
because I thought that you just said
that they don't want to hire a Harvard-trained behaviorist
'cause they got some rink-a-dink shrink.
No,
your hearing's fine.
Well, who is this quack?
They didn't say. It's not important.
They're-they're the client. It's their call.
This is really great.
Just when I thought I couldn't feel any lower.
Hello, everyone.
Are we leaving soon to inspect the bunker?
She gets to go?
They wanted a-a chemist
to inspect their water filtration system.
But it's gonna be fine. Cabe and I
are gonna stay back and exercise.
You can join us.
Oh, that's great.
I-I get lumped in with you two.
You know, no offense, but I have a 178 IQ!
Incorrect. Toby Curtis's IQ is 170,
the lowest on Team Scorpion.
Hey. You okay?
How would you feel if you were told
you weren't wanted on a case?
That's not it.
You said you couldn't feel any lower.
Folks returning from their honeymoon usually have
a little more spring in their step.
Uh, we got a flat on the way to Mexico,
and Happy insisted on fixing it.
And then our, um, ocean view
could only be seen while standing on a chair
in the bathtub.
And then when I complained to the manager, he wouldn't budge.
And to top it all off, despite me checking
every available weather forecast,
it rained the entire time.
So, I failed on every front.
But that's romantic. Newlyweds, stuck in a room,
rain pouring down.
What? Toby, my only job here on Scorpion is to help you guys.
You need to trust me.
Um...
After all that happened,
uh, my confidence was at zero.
So...
when the baby-making show was supposed to commence...
I couldn't raise the curtain.
Oh.
Well, that...
I mean, that happens.
It's no big deal.
When you're trying to get pregnant,
it's a pretty big deal. You know better
than anyone it's-it's probably all mental.
You just need to get your mojo back.
Yeah, well, nothing makes you feel manly like being told
to stay behind while Florence the Pixie takes your place.
Did you mean "Florence and the Machine"?
Or the "Pixies"?
Both are successful indie rock bands.
Seems like something's wrong here.
That's what Happy said.
Huh? Toby is
just upset that Florence is coming along when he isn't.
Well, I can check the filtration systems.
Florence doesn't need to come.
No, she has more chemistry expertise than you.
Besides, she needs the work.
Boosts our fee. Win-win.
I just think it's unfair to Toby to bring in an outsider.
An outsider?
She saved your life.
I thought you were okay with her now.
I am, but...
Good! Then everything's settled.
That's also what Happy said.
What are you talking about?
No, never mind me.
What's up with lying to Paige?
I read deception all over you.
And you could normally care less
whether I find something unfair or not.
I need your professional opinion about a dream I had.
Did it involve leaving me behind in the garage?
No. It involved Florence and I
kissing in the garage.
I dreamt we were married.
Yowza. Wow.
Oh, that's why you don't want her coming along.
You feel guilty about your perverted dream, huh?
It wasn't perverse.
It happened when I was unconscious
from falling down the stairs. Mm-hmm.
Toby, I Th... I thought I loved Paige.
You can relax. The fact that
you feel so guilty proves that you do love her.
Look, your dream is just a function of biology, you know?
You're unconscious, but the olfactory and auditory centers
of your brain continue to provide stimuli.
You know? Florence found you,
and she yelled at you to wake up, right?
So, you heard her-- she winds up in your dream.
But my wife?
