Ellie I'd supposed to be immune to everything, yet she wears so much makeup.

This is my favourite episode ever. I love the humanity in it and Ada is brilliant. She is so strong and positive. A very good example to all about how to deal with adversity.

Ada is so appreciative of the simple things, it's really good to see.

So full of emotions,I was blubbing so many times.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. It would be amazing to see a follow-up from this episode, did they ever find a donor for Ada? Did she get out of the bubble? That would be an amazing episode.

Warning do not read unless seen episode.

What I like about the episode is for once Happy is in charge which is cool as she's my favorite character in the show. I really like how she was running the show which makes sense as engineering is her expertise. But also, the character Ada is one you care about, and of course she's played by Mary Mouser whom you may know as Daniel LaRusso's daughter Samantha LaRusso in "Cobra Kai" which is cool since that's one of my favorite shows. Scorpion has helped a lot of people in the past but most of them never really had much depth, there were sort of like in most action shows episodes the guy or girl of the weak in peril. Ada has a good deal of range where we learn enough about who she is as well as a sweet optimistic personality that has a beautiful mind and heart. But I just really liked the back and forth that was going on with both Happy and Aya whom are sort of like sisters.

All these things made us want both Happy and Scorpion to win, because it really felt like it mattered. There are parallels and slight similarities to both characters. From the fact both are into Engineering but how both have their dilemmas to deal with. Happy is a person that isn't the most social but it's understandable as she has had some bad traumatic experiences in it and seems like she keeps herself in a figurative bubble to keep people away and so she simply won't get hurt. But deep down she really does want to socialize and have people in her life which she did successfully acquire in time. Ada she also wants to socialize and be outside of her bubble so she can not just see outside but make contact both physical and mental, despite her medical conditions that limits her to even doing the simplest thing.

As usual really liked seeing Happy and Scorpion at work as they are devising quick and logical solutions to keep Ada alive. It was really tense, you really felt there was a ticking clock on Ada's life, even like that when bad situations occur they didn't feel like they were padded in just to fill in the extra time which is a fundamental problem this show has; but actually felt like bad situations that are plausible and can occur in the heat of the moment.

We even see the little subplot with Sly's campaign which is a little sad as we see dirty politics just rears its ugly head, when opponent smeg head launches a viral video to tarnish and slander Sly's image. Personally, whenever I see mud slinging I never believe it, in fact I always find the source that sent this kind of information highly suspicious.

Throughout the ordeal we of course see Sly busy at his job which is saving lives, which just goes to show why Sly truly is worthy of the position because he actually gives a damn about people other than himself. But it's when we find out who sent it, is when things get sad and it' s Allie. I'll admit when we find this out it was just heart sinking, I really like Allie, but she really disappointed me. I understand the reasons but wrong is wrong. Any leader or boss that tells you to do something unethical or even illegal you shouldn't work for at all. I remember thinking "your better than that or at least you should be". Cabe despite how much it hurts him does what he has to do and breaks it off with her; I felt Cabe did the right thing because it not just shows the strength of his integrity but his friendship and love for Sly and why he honors it. Allie may have saved her job and got her smeg head boss to win the election, but she lost something more valuable on that day.

Though it doesn't end on a sad note when we see it ends on a slightly happy note, when we see Happy and the rest of Scorpion do something special for her which shows that Ada as well as Happy aren't alone. And that hope in being Happy exists.
