Scorpion Season 5 Story Details
Season 5 Could See The Scorpion Team Fighting Against One Another
Scorpionseason 4 ended on a cliffhangerthat perfectly set up season 5. At the end of the season, infighting, jealousies, and secrets have caused the Scorpion team to split into Scorpion 2.0, consisting of Walter, Cabe, and Florence, while Paige, Sly, Happy, and Toby have spun off to form a rival hacking team, Centipede. Even if it’s set years in the future,Scorpioncould return to this plotline for season 5. Perhaps Centipede and Scorpion 2.0 spent years fighting over clients, occasionally having to share case details.
Season 5 ofScorpioncould show the teams at their most bitter, neither one talking to the other, but then some major threat forces them to come together. There could be a lot of exciting plotlines that result from old enemies being reminded of why they used to be friends which would add a lot of depth to the show.
