In Cyberchase season 1 episode 10 titled "The Wedding Scammer," the team finds themselves in a new adventure trying to save the wedding of their new friends Mei-Lin and Jules. When they arrive, the team is surprised to find out that the wedding planner, Hacker, is trying to sabotage the wedding by stealing the bride's valuable wedding ring. The wedding planner had promised Mei-Lin and Jules an extravagant wedding, but he has a different agenda altogether. The team must work together to stop Hacker from stealing the ring and ruining the wedding.
The Cyberchase team consists of Matt, Jackie, and Inez, all of whom are mathematical whizzes. They are joined by their bird, Digit, who is their navigator and helps them with various tasks throughout the mission. When they arrive at the wedding venue, they discover that Hacker has already put his plan into action. He has locked the ring in a safe and set up a series of traps to prevent anyone from reaching it.
The team realizes that they need a plan to get past the traps and recover the ring. Using their math skills, they come up with a plan to bypass the traps using balance and timing. As they navigate through the maze of traps, they realize that the traps are getting more complex the closer they get to the safe.
Meanwhile, Hacker is working behind the scenes to throw off their efforts. He turns the lights off, manipulates the temperature in the room, and even creates a hologram to throw the team off. However, with the help of Digit and Mei-Lin's dog, they manage to get past these obstacles and reach the safe.
As they begin to crack the safe, they discover that the code has been changed. With little time on their hands, they must use their math skills to quickly figure out the new code. However, Inez and Jackie are unable to crack the code in time, and the safe locks itself again.
With the wedding clock ticking away, the team realizes that they need to come up with a new plan. They decide to work together to create a diversion that will allow them to get the safe open. Using their math skills once again, they set up a series of mirrors to reflect the light onto the safe, which reveals the code.
The team manages to crack the safe and recover the ring. However, they soon realize that there is one more challenge that they must overcome. Hacker has set up an impenetrable forcefield around the wedding aisle. With no way to break through, the team must find a way to outsmart Hacker.
Using their math skills, they create a decoy ring, which they use to trick Hacker into breaking the forcefield. Once the forcefield is down, they manage to reach the wedding aisle, just in time for the wedding ceremony.
In the end, Mei-Lin and Jules tie the knot, and the team is hailed as heroes. They realize that their math skills can be put to good use to help people out of tricky situations.
