Ep 6. We're Gonna Need a Bigger Vote

In Scorpion season 3 episode 6, titled "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Vote," the team is called in to help with a crucial vote in the United Nations. A conflict is brewing between two African countries, and the outcome of the vote could lead to either peace or war. However, when the team arrives at the UN building, they quickly discover that the computers controlling the electronic voting are being hacked.

The hackers have taken control of the UN's infrastructure and are using it to manipulate the vote in favor of one of the countries. The team realizes that this could have disastrous consequences, and they immediately set to work trying to restore control of the system. They are up against a formidable opponent, however, and it soon becomes clear that they are going to need to call in some extra help if they are going to win this fight.

The team begins by trying to trace the source of the hack, but they quickly hit a dead end. While they are working on this, however, Toby notices something unusual about the voting pattern. He realizes that the hackers are using a sophisticated algorithm to ensure that their chosen country wins by a narrow margin. Toby quickly sets to work designing a counter-algorithm that will even the playing field.

Meanwhile, Happy and Paige are tasked with infiltrating the server room to try and stop the hackers from interfering with the voting again. They manage to get in without being detected, but they soon find themselves facing a new challenge. The server room is well-guarded, and they are going to need to come up with a plan to get past the security.

As the team works to unravel the hack, they realize that they are going to need more computing power than they have at their disposal. They decide to enlist the help of their old friend, Mark Collins. Mark is known for his impressive computing skills, but he is also known for being difficult to work with. Nevertheless, the team decides that they need him, and they set out to track him down.

When they finally manage to convince Mark to help them, they discover that there is a lot more to the hack than they initially thought. The group behind the hack is not just trying to influence the outcome of the vote, but they are also using the system to steal sensitive data from the UN. The team realizes that they are going to need to act fast if they are going to prevent this information from falling into the wrong hands.

With time running out, the team springs into action. They manage to get the counter-algorithm up and running just in time for the vote. As the count begins, it becomes clear that the hackers are going to have a much harder time manipulating the results. With the playing field leveled, the vote comes down to a fair fight between the two countries.

In the end, the team emerges victorious. They manage to stop the hackers from interfering with the vote and prevent the theft of sensitive information. They realize, however, that they have made a powerful enemy, and they are going to need to be on their guard in the future.

Despite the dangers they faced, the team is left feeling energized by their success. They know that they can overcome any challenge if they work together, and they are more determined than ever to keep fighting for what is right. With their heads held high, the team heads off into the night, ready for whatever comes next.
