The Animorphs and the Yeerks have a house party in David's bedroom. The kids debate whether David should join the team. 

Can someone become a nothlit mid-morph? Is David's father the kind of parent to attend PTA meetings? Should the Animorphs be incorporating more cute dogs into their morph rotation? Is any population more Yeerkable than kindergartners? And when Visser 3 morphs into a human, does he have his own morph jumpsuit, or is he just... naked?

The kids bungle their first attempt to burgle the Escafil Device. Marco becomes Spawn.

Is David Boy-Rachel? Are the Animorphs fundamentally different from David as people they acquired their powers in Book 1?  What does David naming his cobra Spawn tell us about him as a character, and how bad is it own a cobra? And is Marco really as ditzy as he seems this book, or is he just looking for more excuses to hang out with Ax?

Marco flirts with everyone at school and meets a totally unremarkable boy named David.  

Should T’shrondra be our new Animorph instead of David? Will Erek King only show up for mission briefs from now on or will we eventually get another Chee book? Has Rachel not learned anything about bursting through windows after her close call in Book 16? Does "the dark triad" refer to a theory of personality types or the cloaked polycule living next to Chris? And wait— this obnoxious little boy is the David you all have been talking about?

Longtime listener and mailbag mainstay CJ discusses us to wrap Book 19! We discuss Cassie as a controversial character in the fandom, whether you can get nothlited as a skrit and then regain your morph powers as a na, and what we can expect in the coming years as we venture out of the Golden Era of Animorphs books into the spooky-scary era of ghostwritten books.

Cassie makes the ultimate sacrifice. Then she comes back. 

Who is Cassie proving something to in this book: to herself, to the other Animorphs, to the Yeerks? Why wouldn't the Yeerks just re-infest Karen once Aftran frees her? Are Controllers a kind of flesh mech? Does Jake spend the time between each book just journaling about his fellow Animorphs? Red or blue?!

Cassie gets Yeerked. Aftran delivers an ultimatum. 

Whose plan was the Yeerking of the Unibank President: the methodical Visser 1, the theatrical Visser 3, or the zany but mysterious Visser 2? Does having Visser One as his mother mean that Marco is a nepo baby? And even if he is, wouldn't he be a wonderful Sub-Visser? Just think of the uniforms he could implement with the Yeerk budget! Have we ever seen Visser 3 morph into a creature smaller than a Yeerk?

Cassie and Karen argue about ethics until a leopard attacks. Marco saves the day. 

How does Cassie explain all of her torn morphing leotards to her parents given how often she is ripping off strips of material in order to help others? What the hell are we supposed to do with Karen’s truly unhinged line that “slavery is a human concept” and how would that line read to a child? Did Karen's Yeerk, Aftran, ever have a rebellious phase as a teenager? Do Yeerks get annoyed by their hosts’ intrusive thoughts?

Enter: leopard!!! Cassie thinks about clubbing a child. 

Just where did Yeerks find all of this ambition? Are lazer pointers to cats what dracon beams are to leopards? Is Cassie truly considering killing Karen? What would Marco or Rachel do if they were in Cassie’s situation? Does Eddy do anything between recording sessions except imagine episode titles?

Cassie quits the Animorphs. The rest of the gang stages an unsuccessful intervention. Karen tries to pet a bear. 

Did the other Animorphs overreact to Cassie's big news? Is this the most violent main series book we've read yet, even if most of the violence is imagined? How are the Animorphs not getting alien flesh stuck in their teeth all the time? Should Cassie really be sitting on the lid of the toilet?
