In Cyberchase season 1 episode 22, titled "Model Behavior," the CyberSquad searches for a way to save the animals of EcoHaven from being turned into clothes by a fashion designer named Stephanie. After noticing that Stephanie's designs only feature three garments, rather than a full collection, Inez suspects that Stephanie is copying the work of Bulgarian fashion designer Mariana. The CyberSquad, along with Mariana, must find a way to prove Stephanie's plagiarism in order to stop her from using EcoHaven's animal fur in her clothing line.
As they investigate Stephanie's designs, the CyberSquad discovers that she's been using a 3D printer to produce exact replicas of Mariana's designs. With the help of Matt, they obtain a copy of Stephanie's 3D printer and use it to create their own designs. Meanwhile, Buzz and Delete, Stephanie's assistants, test the original printer and discover that it has a glitch that causes it to produce extra design elements. Stephanie quickly realizes that she's been caught when the CyberSquad presents their own original designs with the extra elements that the printer added and must confess to her plagiarism.
With Stephanie's confession, the CyberSquad is able to stop her from using EcoHaven's animal fur in her designs and save the animals of EcoHaven. The episode ends with the CyberSquad visiting Mariana's fashion show, where they see the models wearing outfits made from recycled materials. The CyberSquad learns that fashion can be both stylish and sustainable and that there are environmentally responsible ways to create clothing without harming animals or the planet.
