In the show Eureka, season 2 episode 5, Duck, Duck Goose, we return to the town of Eureka, a secret community filled with brilliant scientists and the innovative projects they're working on. Allison is leading a project that involves drone geese, which she explains are programmed to monitor the wildlife that Eureka is home to and report back any abnormalities they find.
However, when one of the drone geese malfunction, it causes chaos throughout the town. Initially, the drone crashes into a window, frightening the resident who saw it and damaging the property. This small mishap quickly leads to a much more significant problem - the drone goose starts attacking people. The drone seems to be targeting people randomly, and no one can figure out why.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Jack Carter is trying to deal with a 'wild' goose that caused an accident on the highway, and he's convinced that it's connected to the rogue drone. As the goose continues to attack people, they become more determined to find out what's causing the malfunction. Jack and Allison enlist the help of Henry Deacon, one of the town's most talented and innovative scientists, to try and figure out what's going on.
After a lot of investigation, the team finally finds the source of the strange behavior: a group of rogue hackers that has taken control of the drone goose's programming. The hackers had been trying to sabotage the project because they believed it was unethical to use drones to monitor wildlife. The team is able to disable the hackers' control over the drone, and things return to normal in Eureka.
