The geniuses of Team Scorpion turn into knuckleheads and Paige must simplify the science for them, when their mental faculties are impaired during a job to prevent the creation of a black hole. Also, Florence and Sylvester grow closer when she helps him with a special project.

Team Scorpion heads to the bayou to track down a cagey alligator in order to stop a deadly mosquito-borne virus, and Paige teaches Walter the concept of the "white lie." Also, Walter hits Cabe with a tranquilizer gun and Toby must save his life, and Sylvester and Ralph help Patty when the mean girls at her school force her to get a dreaded tardy slip.
