Team Scorpion needs room to breath.

'Scorpion' Season 2: Paige's Secret Kiss Revealed In Premiere, How Will Walter React?

Unfortunately, Walter's team of geniuses will find the exact opposite when they become trapped in a downed submarine. Luckily, they will have The Last Ship's Travis Van Winkle to help them rise to the occasion - and the surface.

The TNT actor will take on the role of Ensign Nathan Hall, according to Entertainment Weekly, a sailor who will find himself trapped with one half of Scorpion's heroes. Unlike many of the normals O'Brien's team encounters, Hall will actually have "true respect" for his fellow shipmates and bring a "smart, loyal and determined" perspective to their current life or death problem.

Joining Hall in the sub will be Walter, Happy, and Cabe. As season 2 progresses, viewers can expect to see the Hurricane take on some unusual pairings.

"On certain cases they are going to be partnering up in ways you didn't see last year," EP Nicholas Wooton told TV Goodness at San Diego Comic-Con. In the series' special 90 minute episode this October viewers can expect to see Cabe and Paige "partnering up to an extant throughout that while these other guys are off doing something incredibly dangerous."

Catch Scorpion's second season starting Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
