However, her heightened arousal causes her to suddenly behave erratically and smash her head into a mirror, after which she is taken to a medical facility under Dr. Caldicotts care. Now Steve and Rachel must find the source of the Blue Ribbons as well as try and save the rest of the school before its too late. They find a CDR disc that Gavin hid for them in the boiler room, containing a video he made of himself before his transformation, telling them about the club and about the history that he learned about Dr. Caldicott. ........
