* SeriesContinuityError: The longest clip in the episode that Jumba inexplicably has footage of is the fight between Slushy and Splodyhead...the one where Jumba makes a point of wishing he brought his camera to record. Whoops.

!!![[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments Experiments]] who appeared or were mentioned in "Ace"

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This episode wasn't originally planned to be a ClipShow, as storyboards drawn by Sahin Ersöz reveal additional scenes that were planned for a more substantial episode.
** Jumba would have shown Mortlegax around Kokaua Town of his experiments causing evil, staging an instance of Slushy freezing a crosswalk to cause pedestrians to fall over, only for Ace to save them. Mortlegax would have begun questioning if that's one of Jumba's experiments, but the Kweltikwan would have [[BadLiar lied]] by claiming that Ace is just a crossing guard.
** Lilo, Stitch, and some of the other experiments would have staged a scene at a secluded section of Lahui Beach, using dummies as victims of a couple experiments pretending to do evil, and Pleakley, Splodyhead and Spike (X-319) also playing victims. Jumba would have taken Mortlegax to a nearby cliff overlooking the scene, so that the head of E.G.O. wouldn't be able to see the illusion up close.
** At the end of staged scene, Kixx would have launched Cannonball into the Pacific using a slingshot so the wave-making experiment would have generated a huge tidal wave hurdling towards Pleakley. However, Ace would overhear Pleakley's screaming, rush over to the beach, and start saving Pleakley and the dummies, forcing Stitch to capture Ace in a containment capsule. However, the dummies would all pile up on top of Pleakley after Ace's capture, putting him in actual danger. Although Mortlegax would have been pleased if Pleakley lost his life in the tidal wave, Jumba would decide to save his partner over keeping his membership. Mortlegax would have been appalled by Jumba's heroism, convincing him to revoke Jumba's membership. This would then have led to the end of the episode that was still produced, with Lilo starting their own club to make up for it.
** Additionally, Gantu and Reuben's scene in the episode would have been slightly longer than the final version that aired, with 625 making an insult at Gantu's expense, and Gantu grabbing him in anger ready to beat him up only to drop him upon hearing the experiment pod container explaining the non-evil Experiment 262's activation. This would also explain Reuben's line at the end of the scene, "Uh... Oh yeah! I was saying how you looked like a fish," which would have led to Gantu beating 625 up off-screen thereafter.

!!Mrs. Hasagawa's Cats

* WeirdnessCensor: For some reason, Mrs. Hasagawa thinks the experiments that live in her humble abode are all stray cats.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Lilo and Stitch harvest Mrs. Hasagawa's peaches in order to be helpful, but too late she tells them they weren't due to pick for a while. Our two heroes apologize to her. This sets up the ending of the story, as Lilo repeats her mistake by assuming Mrs. Hasagawa's "cats" are troubling her.
