'Scorpion' News, Spoilers: EP Nick Wootton Teases Details on Season 2 Premiere
Barely a couple of weeks to go and the most-awaited second season of CBS' hit TV series "Scorpion" returns to television with a primer that is set to reveal what occurred a few months after Season 1's finale.
For those who missed it, last season ended with Walter (Elyes Gabel) endangering himself by jumping off a cliff. It got him some major injuries that landed him in the hospital.
According to executive producer Nick Wootton (via TVLine), fans will find the rest of the Scorpion team comprising Happy (Jadyn Wong), Sylvester (Ari Stidham), and Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) basically getting a break while Walter is put in rehab program and this won't be pretty at all.

"They don't exactly have the same focus apart as they do together," Wootton said.
Fortunately, as suggested in the synopsis provided by the network for the season opener titled "Satellite of Love," the disbanded geniuses won't be out of commission for that long. Walter will have already recovered from his injuries in the premiere episode and a prompt from the new Director of Homeland Security will reunite them to solve an issue concerning a nuclear powered Russian satellite that was knocked out of its orbit. Time here is not a friend as Walter and the rest of the gang must race against it before the man-made space object detonates over Southern California.
Walter, meanwhile, had to face some matters of the heart. It was revealed earlier that Walter has gotten his hands on a security footage showing Paige (Katherine McPhee) giving him a kiss while he was out from consciousness.
"They come to a point where [Paige] says, 'I have these feelings and I did this thing…,'" the showrunner added (via TVLine). "And we see how that reverberates through Walter, emotionally."
Don't miss the first episode of the sophomore season of "Scorpion" this Monday, September 21, at 9/8c on CBS.
