The Asteroid

"The Asteroid" is the twentieth episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on December 1, 2003.

Plot
Lilo and Stitch visit a planetarium and overhear Cobra Bubbles' warning of an asteroid set to impact Earth. With no one believing them or bothering to seek shelter, Stitch formulates a plan to go into outer space and destroy it to save the planet. However, when they discover that the asteroid itself is home to an alien, Lilo and Stitch must decide which home they must sacrifice for the sake of the other. In the end, the group uses Jumba's ship's hyperdrive to safely push the asteroid away from Earth without destroying it, but leaving Jumba and Pleakley permanently stranded on Earth. No new experiments appear in this episode.

Experiments mentioned

 * Hammerface
 * Sparky
 * Spooky

Trivia/Goofs

 * Moral: Home is wherever you are.
 * This is one of the only two episodes that doesn't show new experiments, the other being "Bad Stitch".
 * Richter appears on a computer screen, but is not seen with the experiments aboard Jumba's ship.
 * Pleakley referred to Hammerface as "Hammerhead" when he was seen pounding Kixx.
 * If Stitch had enough strength to lift the hyperdrive engine, he should have been able to remove it from the ship without any difficulty.
 * Despite there being no oxygen in space, Stitch and the other experiments did not wear spacesuits to breathe like Lilo, Jumba and Pleakley did.
 * Additionally, there is no gravity in space, so the hyperdrive engine shouldn't have fallen directly to the ground when Kixx removed it from the ship.
 * Gantu, Reuben and Hämsterviel do not appear in this episode.
 * This episode seems to chronologically take place after "Dupe", considering the fact that Hammerface is present on Jumba's ship.
