"Scorpion" season 3 is going to pick up moments after the season 2 finale. Walter (Elyes Gabel) will be driving as fast as he can to Lake Tahoe to confess his feelings to Paige (Katharine McPhee) but this all gets disrupted when anonymous hackers aim US military weapons at US cities.
According to a report from EnStarz, just when Team Scorpion are able to stop hackers from taking control over U.S. naval destroyers they'll discover that the hackers have taken control over a U.S. submarine and a missile, presumably a nuclear weapon, is being prepared for launch, and it will target several U.S. locations.
Executive producer Nick Wootton also reportedly explained during the San Diego Comic-Con that the titles for the first two episodes, "Civil War" and "More Civil War," not only refer to the chaos caused by U.S. weapons being used against the American people, but it also refers to the conflict within Team Scorpion.
"Internally, because of Walter going up to Lake Tahoe and possibly getting caught doing it, there is a civil war amongst the team as well. It plays on both levels," he explains.
The report continues to explain that Walter is going to have his own struggles as he really wants to confess his feelings to Paige, but the sudden attack from anonymous hackers and his decision to drive up to Lake Tahoe is going to cause issues. There is also the fact that, for the longest, time Walter had always told Paige that love and emotions are not real.
Fans have speculated that this may just be present at the beginning of the season and that romance may grow between the two. It is widely speculated that Walter and Paige will get together and that she may even get pregnant before the end of season 3, although the studios have yet to comment on whether this will happen or not.
"Scorpion" season 3 is scheduled to premiere on Monday, Oct. 3, on CBS.
