Titled: “Ice-ca-Cabe”
On Scorpion Season 3 Episode 12, Cabe was seriously injured during a mission, and, naturally, this did not happen anywhere near a hospital. I mean of course not, this is Scorpion, not some medical show!
It is not unusual for a member of the team to find themselves almost dying. It happens more than it probably should, and it’s to the point where there is rarely ever a fear that the Team Scorpion member will actually die. You know they are going to somehow get out of whatever pickle they are in and shake it off.
Still, I found myself going, “DAMMIT 2017, DON’T START THIS WAY!”
There are a bunch of things that work about this near death experience. For one, it happens early enough that it’s fully developed, meaning the team does not come up with a quick fix to save the day.
This means that we actually get to focus on how everyone is processing this situation emotionally. The episode isn’t so much about the shock factor that Cabe might die, it’s about the family that is Team Scorpion and everyone’s relationship with Cabe.
We tune in every week is for those relationships, and so it is great to sit and cry throughwatch an hour of television that honored them.
While we all know how everyone on the team feels about Cabe, it’s even better to see and hear them show it, whether it is through words or through panic as they try to do whatever they can to save his life. Sly bagged a rattlesnake for Cabe, so if that doesn’t show love, I don’t know what does….
