There's a repeat on Dec 4th, and then I believe episodes 11 & 12 air December 11th and 1th.

I'm gonna assume you mean 11th and 18th?

Does anyone know was Paige on the coms when she responded to Florence's verbal attack cause I think Walter would have had a reaction to hearing that men were grabbing Paige's butt even if was before they met. I just picture a scene in the near future when Waige is being intimate Walter asked is okay if I grab you butt I am not like those other men just a silly idea I got in my head

FoxPhile

I think they pretty much are always on comms when they have a case, so it's likely Walter did hear that.

Cyclone139

I think so too. They do seem to forget quite often that everyone can hear their private conversations.

I'm also thinking Walter probably already knows about her getting assaulted on the job - a lot of waitresses are, unfortuately, and if she had some sort of hard limit as a result of all that, it would have come up at least since they got together if not before. And Walter already knows about her and Ralph being homeless for a period, so my guess is nothing she said was new to him.

Cyclone139

I agree, I doubt Walter was surprised about anything she said. It does give some extra depth to Paige's character though.

Earnie

That's why I think Paige will handle Scorpion financial woes better than anyone else but she has been thru worse and can help the team cope and remind them they are not in rat infested hotels or sleeping in their cars

WeBuiltThePyramids

Definitely, because there were definitely details in there viewers didn't know.

I loved getting that extra bit about Paige's history. That could also explain somewhat why she was sort of relationship shy. On top of not having the greatest track record with actual relationships, she was in an occupation that could easily turn a woman off men completely.

Cyclone139

Yes, it's a very topical subject at the moment of course. A woman who is constantly exposed to - and expected to put up with - unwanted advances from men is going to find it difficult to let her guard down long enough to realise when a man is being genuine and so it's likely that Paige has rarely opened herself up to the idea of a real relationship with anyone. Walter is so completely different to any man she's ever encountered before so that's probably one of the reasons why she found it so easy to allow herself to fall for him.

I'd be interested in reading Paige's thoughts the first time she meets Walter... thinking how different Walter is compared to other men, and I'm not talking about just his intellect, but his whole demeanor. Yes, he was a bit rude to Paige when they first met, and when he showed up at her door at the end of the Pilot episode, I'm sure she probably thought or suspected he had an ulterior motive... like if a guy like Walt showed up at my place after an exhilarating day, a job offer would be the last thing I'd expect.

So I think it would be interesting to see Paige's thoughts... to really see just how unorthodox he is compared to other men she's encountered. And of course, not all men are handsy, but it's clear Paige has encountered more than one creep while working as a waitress. Her scrutiny towards Walter when he was interacting with her son at the diner prior to the case was probably filled with thoughts of Walter trying / wanting to get inside her pants by being nice to her kid. But then he just awkwardly leaves, making it clear that "that" was not his intention at all.

Maybe I'll write a fanfic circling this thought...

Plus, Walter being so disinterested himself, (even if she didn't pick up on that - because I am certain she thought he showed up at her apartment in the pilot for a booty call and she appeared very down for that) he would not have given off any impression or done anything that she may have considered threatening, so it was easier for her to let her guard down initially.

Earnie

Even if Walter was there for a booty call which we know he was not and even if Paige was down for it I don't she would have acted on it with Ralph there Paige did not know Sly well enough yet to have him babysit like she did at the end of season 3

WeBuiltThePyramids

I don't know that she would have either, but it's not like people don't have sex just because their kid is in the same lodging.

I had made a gifset of her body language earlier in the year when I rewatched the episode and suddenly got that impression. She's all like *big smile* "so is that why you came overrrrr?"
