In the Scorpion episode “The Fast & The Nerdiest,” while Sylvester (Ari Stidham) competes on “The Price is Right,” Cabe (Robert Patrick) gets the team to infiltrate a car-smuggling operation that’s about to ship bioweapons to South America. Cabe got a tip from his old friend Mick. Cabe tells the team the story of when Mick came to Cabe’s defense when he was 13. Mick beat up an older kid who lost his eye. Mick went to juvy. When he got out he was a criminal. That said, “Mick’s always been straight with me.”
