Eccentric genius Walter O'Brien leads a group of brilliant misfits who constitute Homeland Security's new think tank, helping defend against the high-tech threats of the computer age. The team -- dubbed Scorpion -- includes behaviorist Toby Curtis, mechanical prodigy Happy Quinn, and statistics guru Sylvester Dodd. While comfortable with one another, the team members struggle with understanding life outside their circle, so when they need help translating societal cues, they rely on the skills of Paige Dineen, a woman with a gifted young son.

A nefarious virus is uploaded to Walter's computer, turning the team's new "smart" building project into a death trap with people locked inside.

When a powerful earthquake hits Los Angeles, Team Scorpion must prevent a pinched gas line from causing a massive explosion.

Team Scorpion must stop an influx of drugs that are being smuggled into the country via drones; an ultimatum is issued.

Sylvester wins big on "The Price Is Right"; the team must infiltrate a high-end car smuggling operation that is preparing to ship weapons to South America.
