Linda

Linda is a recurring character who appears in multiple episodes of Season Two of the show. She first appears in "Sun of a Gun", as the head matchmaker in a speed dating service that Walter and Cabe decide to go attend. It is an attempt by Walter to try to connect emotionally with others. The speed dating goes badly, but Walter manages to get one date with her.

In "Da Bomb", after a failed date with Walter, she walks into the team's garage and demands to see Walter, handing him a thumb drive. On the drive is a recording of a scrambled voice which tells them that they need to sabotage their current mission, a NASA rocket launch, or else face the consequences. Linda then opens her coat and shows the team that she has a bomb strapped to her chest. The team decide that they can not save the Rocket launch and stop Linda from being killed by the bomb.



They ask her how this happened and she says that she was drugged on the way to her car after the date with Walter, waking up with a bitter taste in her mouth. They place Linda behind a protective barrier, in case the bomb goes off, and then Walter examines the bomb and realize that it can't be disarmed or taken off without killing her. The group decide to build a protective box around her and fill it with gel. They put a metal plate between her and the bomb which should cushion the blast and save her life. The bomb is detonated but Linda manages to survive with minor injuries and leaves the garage in an Ambulance.

In "Twist and Shout" she turns up unannounced at the team's garage and, seeing the team's shock, jokes that she doesn't have a bomb strapped to her this time. She tells Walter that she's been think of him since their last meeting and wants to try for a second date.

At the start of "Hard Knox" Walter and Linda are on a date to see the opening of a rare flower, but when it opens it has a corpse like smell which makes Linda feel sick and run off. When Toby hears about this he tells Walter that he has suspicions about Linda. He believes she isn't really attracted to Walter, but is attracted to the way he makes her feel. He explains that she is suffering from damsel syndrome. Every time she gets around him, it giver her the same endorphin/dopamine rush from when he saved her.

Later, Walter and her are on the rooftop with everyone having a cookout. Linda had admitted being allergic to a certain food, goes to take a bite of something off of Walter's plate, when he has to remind her that she's allergic to it. At that time, Walter realizes Toby was right and they split up, deciding to just be friends.
