Tech mogul Richard Elia returns to hire Scorpion to help his company with their first crewed space launch, with a deadline with NASA looming. Walter's rocket throttle design seems unstable, so he runs diagnostics on it. While working on the rocket, a lightning strike launches Walter into space. Due to several malfunctions, including low oxygen, he starts to hallucinate that Paige is with him in the rocket capsule. The team must figure out how to save Walter before his oxygen runs out in less than 30 minutes, all while dealing with the uncomfortable situation. They turn to the Russian Federal Space Agency for help in return for giving them credit for saving an American citizen. Walter and Toby devise elaborate plans to deal with their loves while at the garage.
