Morpholomew (episode)

Plot
Keoni is going away for the weekend, so Lilo enters the island's skateboarding competition for him so she can win his friendship. At the same time, Jake, Lao Shi and Fu Dog (from American Dragon: Jake Long) visit the island to check out reports that undisguised magical creatures (actually Jumba's experiments) are running rampant.

Experiments mentioned

 * Morpholomew
 * Jacob
 * Reuben

Trivia/Goofs

 * Moral: Be yourself.
 * When the American Dragon cast first encounters Stitch, they all think he is a messed up Leprechaun.
 * While Lao Shi and Mrs. Hasagawa are on their date, they do stereotypical activities often associated with new couples: long walks on the beach, romantic dinner, and even a show-off of skills from Lao Shi.
 * Lao Shi transforms at the fire dancing performance without fear of being exposed, implying that he mistook the experiments for undisguised magical creatures and assumed it would be okay for him to transform.
 * It is revealed that Spud is afraid of sharks, although he gets over his fear at the end of the episode.
 * Lilo initially planned to name 316 "Changer," but Trixie convinced her that he should have a better name, with Spud being the one to name him "Morpholomew."
 * Lilo shouldn't have been suprised that Fu can talk, since she's encountered aliens and all sorts of unusual things before.
 * When Jake Long was in his dragon form, he was mistaken for Morpholomew by Gantu.
 * In this episode, Jake's dragon form's mane and spikes flutter in the wind when airborne, which is not the case in the actual American Dragon show.
 * The American Dragon characters are drawn in their Season 1 design.
 * When this episode aired for the first time on The Disney Channel, a new episode of American Dragon: Jake Long was also aired the same day ("The Long Weekend" of Season 1).
 * According to the broadcast information of the series, this episode is meant to take place after the episode "Body Guard Duty" of Season 1.
 * In this episode, the scene where Lao Shi and Mrs. Hasagawa eat spaghetti at a Hawaiian restaurant is a reference to a very similar scene featured in the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp.
 * Nani and Pleakley do not appear in this episode.
