Season 1
My Name Is Jake, Part 2 (Originally Aired 9/11/1998) -- Still trying to get
over the fact they just met an alien, the kids decide to practice out their
morphing powers, learning new rules as they go along. Cassie had already morphed
a Horse, Rachel tried the Cat while Marco used the Rat as a morph while Tobias
(who acquired the red-tailed hawk) runs away. It also seems like the Yeerks are
heavily interested in cleaning up the area. When the Animorphs found out Tobias
was missing, they decided they would get the disk back before Tobias does. When
they arrived construction site, they found the disk but to get it, Marco tricked
the Controllers that there was a ship landing, and Cassie morphed a horse with
blue paint to pretend to be an Andalite while Jake as a Dog and Rachel as a Cat
sneaked over to grab the disk but was captured by Chapman. Tobias came to the
rescue and they all escaped.
The Underground (Originally Aired 9/18/1998) -- The Animorphs tried out the
disk but nothing happened. Jake and Marco realized that someone very close to
Jake is a Controller - his brother, Tom. Jake wants his brother back, and he'll
do anything to do it.They tried out ferocious animals from the clinic that
Cassie's Mom works in (Jake acquired a Tiger, and Rachel acquired a Lion), and
the used it to try and free all the humans in the Yeerk Pool which is located
under the school. They escaped with no free humans, without Tom, Tobias was gone
(Could have been captured by the Yeerks), and they lost the disk.
On The Run (Originally Aired 9/25/1998) -- Tobias is still missing,
and so is the Andalite disk which Jake lost. Jake and Marco get an on-line
message in Cyberia from the Yeerks offering them a trade, an Andalite for the
disk. They planned to trick the Yeerks by giving an animal to the Controller
which is not really Andalite but the Yeerks will assume that is in morph, while
Jake morphed to a Lizard to use thought-speak. When Marco was caught shoplifting
Jake, he had to morph a rat to escape. Rachel and Cassie goes to a Sharing
meeting with Melissa and Rachel morphed a fly to find out The Sharing's future
plans that coming up. Jake and Marco got the disk after having gotten out of a
city garbage dump where Jake had to rescue Marco from as a Dog, but the disk was
fake, it was tracker to find them, so it was up to them to trick the Yeerks
trying to look for them.
Between Friends (Originally Aired 10/2/1998) -- Tobias is back but he is
stuck in Hawk form because he stayed in morph for over 2 hours. Rachel is
worried about Melissa, because her father is a highly-ranked Controller, so
Rachel morphs Melissa's cat and enters the Chapman household to rescue Melissa
from being a controller. Unfortunately, Rachel gets captured by Chapman and was
taken to Visser Three. Jake was spying and morphed a dog to go save Rachel. They
escaped when Chapman was trying to protect the host's daughter, Melissa from
becoming a Yeerk. Jake and Rachel were able to escape.
The Message (Originally Aired 10/9/1998) -- Cassie and Tobias thinks there
is another Andalite on Earth because they heard noises from a distance, they
went into convulsions, they heard some strange thought-speak message. It sounds
like something has crash landed and needs help. Rachel was at her father's so
the Animorphs checked it out and found out there was another Andalite on Earth.
Visser Three had been contacted by the Andallite too, it's a race to find the
source. If the Yeerks find the messenger first, the Andalite will become a
Controller. So Cassie, Marco, and Jake set out on a mission to find the
creature. They end up discovering something they never thought they would, a new
friend. But at first, the Andalite named Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill did not
believe they were allies of the Andalites because they were not their species,
and followed Visser Three. Cassie morphed a skunk and saved Ax, and the three
kids and the Andalite escaped by morphing butterflies. Ax and the Animorphs
talked about Elfangor, and other things when Ax acquired all the Animorphs
(except Tobias) DNA Pattern and made a new person.
The Escape (Originally Aired 10/16/1998) -- Rachel, Marco and Ax was at
the Diner when this guy was crazy for Oatmeal. The man was George Edelman and he
announced that he had a Yeerk in his brain so Rachel and Marco went to the
hospital to check him out. He told them a lot about the Yeerks, Yeerkes crave
Instant Maple Oatmeal like a drug and can not redeem control of their hosts but
the Yeerk will always be in his head, and the new Yeerk Pool is under the whole
town. So the Animorphs have a new weapon, but how are they supposed to use it?
They can't use it on the Controllers, that'd be like hurting the slaves to spite
the slave owners. At the restaurant, the Animorphs try to enter the Yeerk pool
but it did not work because a Gleets BioFilter was there to destroy all
lifeforms without Yeerks in their brains, but luckily, they escaped as
roaches.They have to go directly to the source, dig underground as ferrets. When
they reached the Yeerk Pool, they threw Oatmeal into the Yeerk Pool, and Tobias
was hurt by a weapon used by a Hork-Bajir. Rachel morphed a Lion to get rid of
all the Human-Controllers in the way.
The Alien (Originally Aired 10/30/1998) -- Jake, Marco and Ax went to the
theatre to watch a movie, where Ax got so obsessed with popcorn, he crawled on
the ground frantically looking for more. When stared back at the screen, the
picture displayed a reminder of his home, and he must contact his homeworld.
Although Ax has been fighting side by side with the Animorphs for as long as
he's been on earth, he's always seemed distant, not quite trusting of human
beings. They brought him over to Marco's house, where he went crazy over the
spicy food that Marco's father made him eat. Ax then breaks into a satellite
company, and modifies the computers so he can phone home. Jake and Marco also
sneaks in by morphing lizards. When he does, his father picks up and Ax places
the dishonor of giving a lower species Andalite technology on Elfangor, he takes
on the burden himself, disoberying the law of Seerow's Kindness. But that's not
all. Turns out that the Yeerks are hot on his trail. And now Ax wants to take
revenge on Visser Three and began to fight Visser Three. Jake and Marco rescued
him using their Tiger and Wolf morph, and escaped with Lizard morphs. At the
end, Ax realizes that the Animorphs are his friends and he should not keep
secrets from them.

boy from a crocodile pit and she began to change when she doesn't want to
because she was allergic to crocodiles. Cassie's morphing out of control. She
has been invited to the Larry and Linda Show where the famous star, Jason Jon
McCole is also a guest there talking about The Sharing. Cassie got rid of the
defective crocodile DNA by burping it out and stopped Jason Jon McCole before
millions of rabid female JJM fans decide that The Sharing is the club for them.
The Crocodile was on the loose, but the Animorphs were able to stop it. Marco
morphed a Llama while Jake and Ax morphed Beetles.
The Stranger (Originally Aired 11/13/1998) -- Rachel's dad wants Rachel to
go with him to the famous gymnastic. He wants Rachel to move away with him -- as
thoughts of "should I or shouldn't I?" run through her head, Ax is

Andalite host, let alone one of their close friends, the Animorphs move in.
Unfortunately, it turns out to be a trap, and they're caught in a net and Visser
Three began to move in! All seems lost - until a mysterious glowing blue man
called an Ellimist shows up, stopping time. He gives them a choice, they could
stay and fight or go to another world with their families. After seeing the
future, they wanted to stay because the future seemed that the Yeerks have taken
over Earth. They were able to get away from the Yeerks, using a knife from the
scene showed by the Ellimist. Rachel morphed a Lion to defeat the Controllers
while the rest save Ax.
The Forgotten (Originally Aired 11/20/1998) -- Rachel changes into a hawk to
find Tobias but then she fell and was unconscious. She slams into a tree and,

former Controller, and now she wants to trap Rachel to get rid of the Controller
in her brain (which she doesn't have). Rachel asked many questions but Fran did
not care because she thought Rachel was an Andalite scum. Rachel finds her way
to a Controller camp where's she taken in by the two leaders there (Brad and
John) while the Animorphs are still searching for her using the keen scent
smelling of Homer which Jake morphed into. The Controllers have no idea who
Rachel is, but realize she's perfect to make a Controller. Marco morphed a Wolf
to scare away the Controllers, and they took back Rachel and tried to remind
Rachel that she is an Animorphs. Jake morphed a Tiger to show her, and she was
finally able to reminder and morph a Lion. Later, she knew everything.

his dad, there were a lot of security, but he had to leave. The Animorphs
investigate why they had lots of security - the infestation of the governer, Ax
scans Marco's video card to respond to all human codes. The Animorphs enter the
building as roaches, and searches for the Yeerk Pool. Once they found it, they

The Yeerk uses all of Jake's memories in a psychological war, preying mostly on Cassie's romantic feelings towards him. If there is a Yeerk in his brain it will die from Kondrona Rays.

a diary, that Ax has invented, it allows people to go into their minds and

before he became an Animorph, back to where he first started his at his new
school, meeting a nice girl named Rachel, and being frustrated because of what
has happened that night at the construction site, a conversation with a
mysterious old man, and the acquired of his first morph - The Red-Tailed Hawk.Ax
also uses the device, and Tobias gets to see an amusing day in Ax's earth life.
Using his human morph, he decides to learn more about our world, he leaves the
barn after Cassie goes to do her homework, by taking a trip to the mall. He gets
into trouble with a cab driver because he did not know how human transportation
works. When he bothers a teenager playing a game at Cyberia, the guy punished
him. The cab driver came back, and gave him a lift, and left him in the park
because Ax did not have enough money. He comes in contact with a nice girl, who
offers him ice cream, but he did not know what to do with it, so he morphed a
dog and went back to the barn. A lesson has been learnt, no matter what you

Tobias. Tobias wants more kids to be on his team so there is way to beat the
Yeerks. Morphing a Lizard, Tobias learns that Jake is a Yeerk, and he only could
trust Rachel. No one believed Tobias' story about parasitic alien slugs invading

Morphing Detector so when Jake and Marco morphed Lizards the alarm went off and
