** 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 before rushing him off.

** At the end of the 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 hurtling towards Pleakley. 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.

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: As detailed below, the entire second half was replaced with the final ClipShow version after the 2004 Indian Ocean Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami. Since the original version of the episode featured a staged tidal wave gone awry, Disney and the show's production staff agreed that the original ending would've been too insensitive to victims of the tragedy and decided to cut it.

* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: An interesting case; episode screenwriter John Wray commented on the Lilo & Stitch [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]] that he felt the original version of the episode was the best script of the seven episodes he wrote.[[note]]His other six episodes were [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E18Yaarp "Yaarp"]], [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E23Houdini "Houdini"]] (with Brian Swenlin), [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E39Drowsy "Drowsy"]] (with Thomas D. Hart), [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E1Spike "Spike"]], [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E6Skip "Skip"]], and the following episode segment after this one, [[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E24GlitchWoops "Glitch"]].[[/note]]

This explains Jumba's last line in the final produced episode, "Does [the] club allow ''almost'' reformed {{evil genius}}es?"

** 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.

* {{Blooper}}: Manner (X-358)'s back spines are yellow when he bows to greet Lilo and Stitch, but they suddenly change to black when the scenes changes to show him beside the door.
