This is an honorable mention of the show, it's another that centered on Happy but also Toby. This is the episode that finally bring Toby and even Happy's feelings for one another to the forefront.
This is a survival episode, I like those kinds of episodes because the characters are really put to the test, mentally and physically. When you see Happy's line is cut, you instantly know Happy is in deep crap and she's in a very unhappy situation. This situation is unique for the rest in scorpion because it's a lot more down to Earth, this is the kind of thing that could happen. Most of the problems Scorpion deals with a are practical/technical problems but here this is an element of nature their dealing with. The think about the artic cold is that there are subzero temperatures just everywhere you walk, and the blizzard makes things worse because you can't see crap, if you get remotely lost or wander too far off your dead.
The show also has a good subplot with a satellite they must put in place a satellite to reestablish coordinate communication with soldiers pinned down in a fire fight who need extraction. Really liked seeing Ralph contribute to give the soldiers more time and his interaction with the army ranger captain. This subplot just increases the tension because it reminds you there is a ticking clock on not just the soldiers but Happy and Toby.
There are a few moments you actually worry about the lives of both Happy and Toby as things are just getting colder and bleaker by the minute, you really feel the cold, ice, and snow it's just palpable; made me have to get a blanket watching this episode. There are some humorous moments as usual, when Happy sees the self help book she's been trying out and then chucks it away above her and says an angry remark to it, yeah that's one thing I can agree with her on, most self-help books and programs are scams let alone don't really help. It was sweet seeing Toby finding her and coming to help doing what he can to keep both alive, but also finally coming out with a heartwarming confession.
Rating: 4 stars
