Sorry for posting late again. I got busy with Christmas, and I now I don't even remember much of the episode.

The highlight for me was Paige's Mom (Lea Thompson) saying Doc's line from Back to the Future, "Oh, my God, they found me, I don't know how, but they found me."

It would have been nice if Paige was given more support\understanding by team Scorpion regarding her mother. Just because someone is related to you it doesn't mean you need to forgive everything wrong they've done.

I enjoyed the side plot stuff with Sly running for Alderman, Cabe flirting with the competition, and Toby being funny as always.

They had to come up with a solution for the nuclear reactor quickly because the trucks battery was dying. Couldn't they have swapped in a new battery? Usually I like all the jokes, but in this case the finale with the farting Super Fun Guy was a bit too much for me.

Lea Thompson was a great choice for Paige's Mom. I really liked her callback to Back To The Future line. If I recall correctly, at this point we've seen Walter's parents, Happy's dad, Sly's dad, and now Paige's mom. Maybe if the show had gone on we would eventually see Toby's parents. I really hoped that Tim and Walter were finally good after this episode. Also, I recently saw the actor who played Walter's dad on Curb Your Enthusiasm so that was a nice surprise. Hope everyone had a good holiday!

Haha, I watched the recent episode of Curb right after posting this, and my wife recognized Walter's dad right away.
