"Ace" is the second segment of the sixty-second episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on May 19, 2006.

Plot[]

The leader of the Evil Genius Organization (E.G.O.) believes that Jumba has turned good and wants to revoke his membership, but Lilo and Stitch convince him to visit Earth so they can prove to him that Jumba is still worthy of membership. As they construct an elaborate facade to trick him, however, a failed non-evil experiment is activated. Meanwhile, 625 and Gantu are playing go fish when they hear about this experiment. After learning that said experiment has no evil traits, they conclude that Hämsterviel would have no use for it, so they continue their card game.

Trivia[]

  • Moral: Anyone can be a hero.
  • Reuben uses the card term "fish" as a pun to ridicule Gantu while they were playing go fish.
  • According to Reuben, Jumba locked Ace in the basement when friends came around.
  • This is one of five episodes where Gantu appears but makes no effort to catch the titular experiment, the other four being "Finder", "Mrs. Hasagawa's Cats", "Woops", and "Snafu".
  • This episode is a clip show, which is an episode of a television series that consists mostly of excerpts from prior episodes. Several scenes of experiments behaving evilly are from clips of earlier episodes.
    • During the beginning of the clip show, Jumba showcases Richter; however, he is erroneously called 501, a number taken by Yin, who ironically appears in this episode as well.
    • The longest clip used in this episode is from the battle between Slushy and Splodyhead as seen in the former experiment's episode (the showing of this particular clip is also ironic, considering that Jumba stated in that episode that he forgot to bring his camera).
  • In a conceptual storyboard by Sahin Ersöz, Jumba was supposed to be expelled from E.G.O. for saving Pleakley from a tidal wave staged by Lilo, Stitch, and some of the other experiments. The scene, as well as much of the original second half of the episode, was replaced with Jumba showcasing the experiments via video footage mainly taken from past episodes due to the Boxing Day 2004 earthquake and tsunami happening during production, with Disney and the production staff of Lilo & Stitch: The Series deciding that the tidal wave scene would have been insensitive to the victims of the deadly disaster.
    • Had this episode been produced as originally storyboarded, Cannonball and Spike would have appeared in this episode. This episode also would have been Spike's only other appearance in the show.
    • Additionally, the scene of Gantu and Reuben playing go fish would have been slightly longer and would've had Reuben insulting Gantu by saying he looks like a fish, which would have prompted Gantu to grab Reuben in anger before getting interrupted by the experiment analyzer and dropping him. This also explains Reuben's last line in the episode: "Uh...oh, yeah! I was saying how you looked like a fish," which came out of nowhere in the aired episode, but would have prompted Gantu to beat up Reuben off-screen at the end of their scene.
    • The ending was also slightly longer, as after Lilo decrees "strawberry pie day", she would tell everyone to "dig in", only for Pleakley to motion them to wait to propose a toast to Jumba, who would be anxious to eat the strawberry pie on the table. After everyone else raises their glasses to toast him, Jumba would then fling a strawberry from one of the pies with a spoon, with the fruit ricocheting off various kitchen objects in a "Rube Goldberg-ian chain of events" that would cause it to knock one of the supports on the kitchen shelf, causing the shelf to be off-balance. A canister of sugar would then slide off the shelf and onto the handle of a frying pan with a dirty teacup on it, flinging the teacup into the air. The cup would go through the chain of the lighting fixture above the kitchen table, causing the fixture to fall onto the side of a cookie sheet the pie is on, thus flinging the pie, which would smash into Pleakley's face, pleasing Jumba and having Stitch eat a strawberry off the Plorgonarian. (This chain of events would also explain Jumba and Lilo's last lines in the episode when he asks her if the club accepts almost reformed evil geniuses.) The scene would finish off with Ace cleaning Pleakley's face with a towel and spraying him with a perfume bottle, then posing to the camera with the towel draped on his right arm as the camera irises-out.
  • John Wray, the episode's screenwriter who also wrote or co-wrote for six other episodes of the series, commented several times on Reddit (under the username JimmyLegs50) that he personally considers the original script of "Ace" (before the clip show conversion that was ultimately used) to be his best script that he wrote for the show. However, while he was disappointed that his original script was not used, he nonetheless agreed with the decision to change it to the clip show version.
