‘Scorpion’ Season 3 Spoilers: Episode 13 Synopsis Teases Veronica's Return In ‘Faux Money Maux Problems’

“Scorpion” Season 3, episode 13 will see the return of Paige’s (Katharine McPhee) mom, Veronica (Lea Thompson).

In “Faux Money Maux Problems,” Team Scorpion will be duped into producing counterfeit money for a foreign entity that has plans to take over the economy of the United States. When they realize that they have been fooled, Paige will be left with no other choice but to reach out to her mom, who has experience in being a conwoman.

Veronica first appeared in the hit CBS TV series in episode 9, titled “Mother Load.” At the time, Veronica visited Paige to try and make amends with her. The former also met Paige’s boyfriend, Tim (Scott Porter). But Veronica made it clear to both Paige and Walter (Elyes Gabel) that she likes the latter better for her daughter. Paige wasn’t really happy with what her mom told her, but this gave Walter a boost of confidence to try and win the love of his life.

At present, Tim is no longer working with Team Scorpion so this could potentially give Walter a chance to get closer to Paige. However, executive producer Nick Wootton told TV Line that Paige is not pleased with how Walter contributed to Tim’s decision to pursue a job in another country. “Paige is furious at first. Walter, meanwhile, feels terrible about the whole Tim thing and tries to be sweet and kind to Paige with the purest of intentions,” he said.

Eventually, Paige will realize that if Walter will try to make a move on her again, she has to follow Veronica’s advice. Her mom once told Paige to not close her doors on her good friend.

The air date for “Scorpion” Season 3, episode 13 hasn’t been confirmed. A rerun of Season 2, episode 13 aired on Monday, Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
