After the song, Hau'oli and Mahina listen to Manu who tells Waha Nui to not upset the Big Kahuna just as Waha Nui plans to play the next musical number "Hawaiian War Chant".

As the emcee birds are discussing about the Big Kahuna, Hau'oli reacts to a very loud foghorn sound effect heard inside the Tiki Room as Manu then plans on giving out the next musical number "On the Beach at Waikiki" with the Winged Wahines performing their part. Noticing the plastic blue ears on their heads, Hau'oli and the other emcee birds notice the Winged Wahines planning on not finishing the song until the culrpit behind the mess is gone as the Winged Wahines leave off for Waikiki in disgust to which the song ends.
After the song, the culprit behind the trouble is revealed to be Stitch who was playing pranks throughout the show just as Hau'oli and the other emcee birds worriedly notice this and it is revealed that the "Big Kahuna" is actually Stitch doing pranks. Hau'oli and the other emcee birds scold Stitch for causing trouble in the show. Worried that being punished in the Tiki Room is no fun for him, Stitch then promises not to do anymore pranks in the show just as the emcee birds accept Stitch's promise to which a reprise of "Aloha, E Komo Mai" begins. Hau'oli then sings with the other emcee birds during the reprise while singing with Stitch accepted in the show. As the song pauses, Stitch is accepted to be in the show promising not to do pranks anymore just as Hau'oli and the inhabitants of the Tiki Room sing with Stitch accepted to perform with the entire Tiki Room cast (except for the Winged Wahines who left during the show) just as they sing along happy about being in Stitch's ohana. As the show ends, Hau'oli and the other emcee birds bid a farewell to the guests as he and the other emcee birds discuss that the "Big Kahuna" does not exist and it is actually Stitch the whole time throughout the show.
