Overview: The provided synopsis for Season 3 is extremely brief: "Scorpion Season 3 continues the overarching saga across 25 episodes." I cannot invent a narrative arc. I must state what is provided. However, the prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary. If the source material doesn't provide enough information to reach that word count, I must be careful.
