5. Plight at the Museum

Scorpion is hired by L.A.'s Natural History Museum to determine why an ancient pillar is rapidly decaying and must stay overnight during lockdown to solve the problem. The simple mission turns complex when a group of Aldorrian thieves infiltrate the museum, wanting to steal tantalum-181 from an asteroid on display in order to enhance a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, Toby panics about becoming a father and Paige gives him some parenting advice. Later, a hard-nosed case worker from USCIS shows up and is curious as to why Walter and Happy have been living at separate addresses for the past six years. This causes Toby to give them behavior lessons.
