Plot Summary
When at the beach, Rachel's earring falls into a tide pool. She morphs a starfish to get it out. Unfortunately, after she does this she gets chopped in half. Both halves demorph and there are now two Rachels. They have different personalities. "Mean" Rachel is very violent, and aggressive. She is very concerned with "weakness". At one point she tries to kill Marco and Jake and take control of the Animorphs. Also she is incapable of making plans for the future. "Nice" Rachel is very passive and easily frightened. She is too scared to do any morphing, although she is good at making plans. Jake convinces Nice Rachel to come with him to follow a Yeerk truck. It turns out to be a trap and Jake and Nice Rachel are put in boxes to await the arrival of Visser 3. Mean Rachel follows them in an attempt to kill Jake and Nice Rachel. Jake pretends to be dead, forcing Mean and Nice Rachel to work together in order to escape the trap. Nice Rachel makes the plan and Mean Rachel actually does it, flying into Visser Three's ear canal while morphed and threatening to demorph, killing both of them. After they escape safely, Nice and Mean Rachel finally realize that they need to be together to work well and Erek King helps make them back into one whole Rachel again by morphing into each other while touching.
