Ep 3. Best in Faux

In the season 3 episode 3 of Eureka, entitled "Best in Faux," Carter and the rest of the town are excitedly anticipating the arrival of a renowned designer, who has been invited to judge a fashion show at Global Dynamics. The fashion show is an annual event in Eureka, but this year it is particularly important because the winning design will be featured in a top fashion magazine.

As always, there is a lot of competition among the designers. Jo and Zane have teamed up to create a high-tech dress, while Allison has taken a more traditional approach and is working with intricate embroidery. Fargo, as usual, is trying to impress the judges by coming up with the most outlandish design possible.

Just before the show is about to begin, however, disaster strikes. The designer himself is found unconscious in his hotel room, and it quickly becomes clear that he has been poisoned. With the event in jeopardy, Carter and the team spring into action, trying to figure out who might have wanted to harm the designer and why.

As they investigate the crime scene, they discover that the poison was administered through a small patch on the designer's skin. This leads them to believe that one of the designers might be responsible, either as a jealous rival or as someone who wanted to sabotage the event.

While Carter and the team work to unravel the mystery, tensions among the designers continue to rise. Jo and Zane's high-tech dress malfunctions just before the show, leaving them scrambling to come up with a last-minute solution. Allison's embroidery is ruined when one of the other designers accidentally spills coffee on it. And Fargo's outrageous design turns out to be, well, just plain outrageous.

Through it all, the show must go on. As the designers prepare to send their models down the runway, Carter and the team race to figure out who the culprit is. With time running out, they finally manage to identify the person responsible and bring them to justice.

In the end, the fashion show is a huge success. Despite the setbacks and drama behind the scenes, the winning design is truly beautiful and will undoubtedly make a splash in the fashion world. And as for the mystery of the poisoned designer, Carter and the team are able to solve it with their usual combination of wit, ingenuity, and just a little bit of luck.

"Best in Faux" is a fun, lighthearted episode that showcases the quirkiness and humor that make Eureka such a beloved series. It's a great example of the show's ability to blend science fiction, mystery, and comedy into a winning formula that keeps viewers coming back for more.
