Last on Scorpion....
Toby: Let me just say, Walt may not have focused on athletics but he's hitting a home run.
Sly: What?
Cabe: Oh, let me handle this.

This time on Scorpion...
Cabe starts walking up the stairs, walks past Toby. Toby does not move, Sly and Happy watch from the middle of the garage.
Happy: What do you think he will do?
Sly: I'm not even sure I know what's going on.
Happy: Come on dude, they're doing it.
Sly: Oh! Gross.
Cabe is going to the bedroom door now.
Toby: You can't just go in there. It could scar Walter and Paige for life, he would revert back to his older self. Paige probably wouldn't change much, but who knows with her?
Cabe stops and considers his action
Cabe: If they aren't down in 15 I'm going and getting them.
Toby: That should work. We can get stuff packed up and ready.
Sly: Did you get them?
Cabe sulks back down the stairs, Toby not far behind.
Cabe: No, Toby wouldn't let me. They've got 15 minutes.
Happy: Knowing Walt they'll be down in 5.
She starts laughing but seeing the looks around the room, she quickly stops.
Woah! That's unlike me to make that kind of joke. I guess Toby is rubbing off on me.
Sly: So we are just going to let them do that with us in hearing vicinity?
Cabe: We should probably start packing the truck.
Toby: We have 11 minutes. That should be enough time.
Everyone starts to grab things and pack them into Cabe's SUV and Paige's car. They finish with one minute to spare.
Cabe: Well I'm going up there. Wait here
Toby: Don't be too aggressive.
Sly: Make sure they have clothes on.
Cabe: I know, I know.

Cabe walks up to the door and gently knocks on it.
Cabe: Hey Walt, the car is ready and the rest of the group is packed. You guys ready?
Walter: Just a minute!

Cabe walks back to the group and waits.

Walter: to Paige I guess that's our cue.
Paige: I guess. We almost never get time like this, especially with these cases we've been having lately.
Walter: Never a break for us is there? He smirks and starts to stand up, Paige quickly grabs his face and kisses him.
Paige: Never a break.
She starts to go get her clothes and suddenly stops when she sees a smoke filling the room from the vent.
Paige: Walter! I don't think that was coming into the room earlier. She points toward the vent.
Walter: Definitely not! Grab your clothes and get out!
Paige: I'm naked Walter!
Walter: Do you want to die?
Paige sighs but grabs her clothes and wraps the sheet around herself. Walter grabs his shirt and ushers Paige and himself out
of the room. He swiftly closes the door. The rest of the group has gathered in the loft.
Cabe: You know you could've gotten dressed first.
Paige: breathing heavily I did-n't want - to die.
Sly: Die?!
Walter is buttoning his shirt when he notices that Paige's bra is on the couch. He tries to motion to her but catches Happy's glance instead. Happy looks to the couch and sees the bra. She goes to it and picks it up, puts it in her hoodie pocket and walks to Paige.
Happy: whispering I think you might need this.
Paige looks down as Happy pulls her bra out of her pocket.
Paige: Thank you so much!
Happy: Us girls have to keep each other together.
Sly: Why is no one answering the dying questions? Literally!
Walter: So as me and Paige were... umm... finishing up he glances toward Paige to make sure he didn't say anything wrong then continues, she noticed a smoke like gas coming up through the air vent.
Toby: Could you catch a specific scent?
Walter: I couldn't. Paige?
Paige: kind of startled, caught readjusting her sheet I don't think so. I don't really remember, I was trying to hurry.
Toby: So if neither of you noticed a smell, there probably wasn't one. That narrows the gas list to almost none.
Sly: Three to be exact: Chlorine, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Sulfur Dioxide. Did the gas have a color?
Paige: It was kind of reddish.
Toby: That makes it Nitrogen Dioxide. Not deadly in the small dose you guys had, but you may notice some irritation soon.
Paige: I'm irritated now because I've been standing here naked and it's cold. Can I go get dressed now?
