Lilo wants to beat Mertle at the "Ohana-Rama" family trivia contest, but loses confidence when Stitch is poked by an experiment whose venom makes people 99% stupid and 1% clever. Meanwhile, Pleakley starts a therapy group named "E.A.R.W.A.X." to rehabilitate experiments. Lilo does everything she can to make Stitch smart again but fails, so she, Jumba and Pleakley compete without him. However, Mertle may not be as big a know-it-all as she claims to be.
Goofs[]
In this episode, Bonnie is seen with six fangs (four on the top and two on the bottom), even though she normally has two fangs.
Also in this episode, Disney+ closed captioning mistakenly shows Clyde to call her "Barney", probably mistranscribed due to his accent.
Trivia[]
Moral: Everyone is smart in their own way.
Side Moral: Cheaters never win.
Experiment 099 (Spot) was originally supposed to appear in this episode but was removed.
Dr. Gladys Okra, Spike's first victim, bears a striking resemblance to Oprah Winfrey.
Ironically, Pleakley used Okra's methods to rehabilitate Spike.
When Jumba got pricked by Spike, he did not appear to be affected. However, he states that he is not immune to the effects of his creation, and that he does not act silly because even 1% of his intelligence is far superior to that of an average human being's intelligence.
This is supported in "Babyfier", where, despite being turned into an infant, Jumba was able to figure out a cure to reverse Babyfier's powers.
Only Spike, Fibber, Nosy, Bonnie, Clyde, Slushy, and Splodyhead were part of Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. group, but in one scene, Yaarp can clearly be seen hiding under the couch.
Nosy revealed that Pleakley secretly dyes his antenna green to match his skin because he is going prematurely orange.
Nosy and Fibber were the only experiments that were not bored by Pleakley's therapy topics, with Nosy even showing great interest.
At the Ohana-Rama, the last names of Lilo and Mertle's families (Pelekai and Edmonds) are not used, and they are instead referred to as "Lilo's Ohana" and "Mertle's Ohana", respectively. Additionally, Nani is the only Pelekai family member who doesn't compete in the contest for unknown reasons.
This episode reiterates the humans' blindness to the aliens, which they believe do not exist, even though there were five aliens at the Ohana-Rama in plain sight. Regardless, Lilo should have known better than to answer "yes" to the alien question.
It is implied that Mertle may be illiterate due to her secretly cheating and being unable to read the answers.
This episode was confirmed by Jess Winfield to take place chronologically after "Snafu", considering the fact that Nosy, Fibber, Bonnie, and Clyde are present in Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. group: Nosy and Fibber were imprisoned by Hämsterviel until Nosy was accidentally freed by Woops, which set the events for "Snafu", when Fibber himself was rescued from Gantu after the former was shipped from Hämsterviel due to Woops nearly blowing Hämsterviel's cover; Bonnie and Clyde were sentenced to 20 years of prison in their debut episode, but were paroled in "Snafu".[1]
