Aunt Ellen gives Iris a gift for her birthday: a box with an Ephedian item called a vocalextra. It contains a holographic message from her mother who tells Iris that she was sent to Earth for her protection and that she should stop fighting. Iris struggles with the message but goes on to help Shelby, a childhood friend who wants to give up her dream of being a surfer. Talia and Auriana discover the message was corrupted by the twins. After encouraging Shelby to try again, Iris joins the other girls as they face the twins and their lobster-like monster.
