A truck is stopped on a road along the Kauaʻi shoreline. As its driver pours coolant into the overheated engine, some of the coolant spills into a crack, and suddenly the ground beneath him heats up. The man runs off in terror, the ground bursts open, and a strange lizard-like creature with lava spouts on its back crawls out of the hole. Meanwhile in Kokaua Town, an old woman relaxes in a hot tub when something falls into the water. The woman screams and runs off as an octopus-like creature appears and sucks up all the water in the tub.

Gantu comes out of the shower to find that two experiments, 501 and 502, have activated. However, upon seeing 625 napping, Gantu wakes his partner up and forces him to assist in getting the experiments. 625 reluctantly agrees but convinces Gantu that they should each go after one of the experiments instead.

The duo return home where Jumba tells them that they are dealing with Experiments 501 and 502, who are respectively capable of firing high-pressure water and hot lava. He also says that 501 and 502 are to never meet, for if they do so, their abilities combined can be explosive. Lilo and Stitch still continue to fight; they both proclaim that they can catch a experiment without the other's help and run off. Jumba is amused by Lilo thinking that she could capture an experiment without Stitch, considering Stitch's skills and abilities. However, Pleakley interjects saying that Stitch is nothing without Lilo and her Earth brains and instincts. The aliens make a wager in which whoever's selected experiment hunter gets an experiment first, the loser must perform the "Funky Glognar", a long and humiliating dance that is infamous throughout the galaxy.

* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Well, more like "Lava/Water Juxtaposition" in this case with experiments Yin (501) and Yang (502). The majority of the episode sets them up that they must never meet or the elemental clash would cause a deadly reaction, but it turns out OppositesAttract and their powers combined can create new landforms. Given that ''Lilo & Stitch'' takes place in Hawaii, this could very well be a reference to the legend of Pele and Naʻmaka in Myth/OceanianMythology.

Lilo and Stitch are visiting David's for a day of surfing. However, they suddenly fight when Lilo tries to get Stitch to help wax their surfboard, only for him to eat the bar of wax. David tries to get them to cooperate by telling them that they should work together instead of against each other, like yin and yang, two different things that come together to make a good thing, like how lava from the volcano and water from the ocean come together to make an island. Sadly though, it doesn't come through to our duo, and Stitch finishes off what is apparently the last bar of wax. ("This is ''not'' harmony.")

Stitch breaks everyone free from the foam and it becomes a mad dash for the experiments. However, Gantu falls for a egg salad sandwich trap laid by 625 and gets caught, causing 501 and 502 to break free. Gantu yells at his partner through a containment capsule that if they worked together in the first place, they wouldn't be in this mess, and Lilo says that the "big dummy" is right. She says that this is what David was trying to tell them about yin and yang. Thus, Lilo and Stitch finally reunite and work together again, using each other's tools provided to them to capture both experiments at the same time.

As Gantu tries and fails to capture 502, not helped by 625's reluctance in putting any effort in experiment hunting, Jumba and Pleakley respectively have Stitch and Lilo gear up to catch the experiments, with Stitch going after 502 and Lilo aiming to get 501. But just when they were close to getting the experiments, their fighting cause the four to get stuck in Jumba's anti-heat foam he gave Stitch, allowing Gantu to easily come in and take the experiments right in front of them.

Stitch breaks everyone free from the foam and it becomes a mad dash for the experiments. However, Gantu falls for a egg salad sandwich trap laid by 625 and gets caught, causing 501 and 502 to break free.

More of the plot; etc.


Lilo and Stitch continue to argue until they find a lava-spewing experiment (the same one that viewers saw earlier) causing chaos in Kokaua Town. Lilo tries to come up with a plan, but Stitch rushes to grab the experiment and gets blown away. He tries to blame Lilo for his mistake, but then he gets blasted with water by another experiment (the same octopus-like experiment viewers also saw earlier). He ties up the experiment's tentacles, but Lilo protests saying that Stitch is hurting him.[[note]]Yin (501) is treated as female by viewers and portrayed as such in later episodes, but Lilo does call this experiment male several times in this episode.[[/note]] The experiment blasts both of them away, causing the duo to be almost washed away down a drainage pipe (Stitch saved both himself and Lilo).

The duo return home where Jumba tells them that they are dealing with Experiments 501 and 502, who are respectively capable of firing high-pressure water and hot lava. He tells Lilo and Stitch that 501 and 502 are to never meet, for if they do so, their abilities combined can be explosive. Lilo and Stitch still continue to fight; they both proclaim that they can catch a experiment without the other's help and run off. Jumba is amused by Lilo thinking that she could capture an experiment without Stitch, considering Stitch's skills and abilities. However, Pleakley interjects saying that Stitch is nothing without Lilo and her Earth-based brains and instincts. The aliens make a wager in which whoever's selected experiment hunter gets an experiment first, the loser must perform the "Funky Glognart", a long and humiliating dance that is infamous throughout the galaxy.



* CassandraTruth: A man who gets singed and his car destroyed by Yang tries to tell a police officer about the lava-spewing creature, but the officer doesn't believe him and tells him to his move his car.



* HumiliatingWager: When Lilo and Stitch argue over who is better at catching experiments, Jumba and Pleakley get involved and make a bet whoever's protégé (Stitch for Jumba and Lilo for Pleakley) catches one of the two experiments first, the other must perform "the Funky Glognart, the insipid dance of a thousand hours." However, Lilo and Stitch end up capturing both experiments together, which means that according to official United Galactic Federation law in the case of a tie, both Jumba and Pleakley lose and have to perform the dance.

to:

''Plot synopsis A truck is stopped on a road along the Kauai shoreline due to be added''its engine overheating. As its driver pours coolant into the engine, some of the coolant spills into a crack and suddenly the ground beneath him heats up. As the man runs off in terror, the ground bursts open and a strange lizard-like creature with lava spouts on its back crawls out of the hole. Meanwhile in Kokaua Town, an old woman relaxes in a hot tub when something falls into the water. The woman screams and runs off as an octopus-like creature appears and sucks up all the water in the tub.

Gantu comes out of the shower to find that two experiments, 501 and 502, have activated. However, upon seeing 625 napping, Gantu wakes his partner up and forces him to assist in getting the experiments. 625 reluctantly agrees but convinces Gantu that they should each go after one of the experiments instead.

Lilo and Stitch are visiting David's for a day of surfing. However, they suddenly fight when Lilo tries to get Stitch to help wax their surfboard, only for him to eat the bar of wax. David tries to get them to cooperate by telling them that they should work together instead of against each other, like yin and yang, two different things that come together to make a good thing, like how lava from the volcano and water from the ocean come together to make an island. Sadly though, it doesn't come through to our duo, and Stitch finishes off what is apparently the last bar of wax. ("This is ''not'' harmony.")

!![[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments Experiments]] who appeared or were mentioned:
* [[MakingASplash Yin (501)]]: One of the episode's two [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]]: a teal octopus/squid-like experiment who sprays water at high pressures.
* [[MagmaMan Yang (502)]]: The other MonsterOfTheWeek: an orange-red weasel/lizard-like experiment who shoots lava.
* [[TheImp Reuben (625)]]: ''TBA''

!!Tropes featured in this episode include:
* AnAesop: We accomplish more working together than working against each other.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Well, more like "Lava/Water Juxtaposition" in this case with experiments Yin (501) and Yang (502). The majority of the episode sets them up that they must never meet or the elemental clash would cause a deadly reaction, but it turns out OppositesAttract and their powers combined can create new landforms. Given that ''Lilo & Stitch'' takes place in Hawaii, this could very well be a reference to the legend of Pele and Naʻmaka in Hawaiian mythology.
* FunnyAfro: Jumba wears a wig of one for the "Funky Glognart".
* HumiliatingWager: When Lilo and Stitch argue over who is better at catching experiments, Jumba and Pleakley get involved and make a bet whoever's protégé (Stitch for Jumba and Lilo for Pleakley) catches one of the two experiments first, the other must perform "the Funky Glognart, the insipid dance of a thousand hours." However, Lilo and Stitch end up capturing both experiments together, which means that according to official United Galactic Federation law in the case of a tie, both Jumba and Pleakley lose and have to perform the dance.
* MeetCute: Jumba warns that the Earth could be destroyed if Yin and Yang ever meet. They do, and [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/5/57/ScreenCapture_28.06.13_2-28-10.jpg this happens.]]
* ShipTease: The way Yin and Yang look at each other when they MeetCute strongly suggests this.
* ShoutOut: Reuben reads a book entitled ''[[Film/EscapeToWitchMountain Escape from Sandwich Mountain]]''.
* SillySong: The song of the "Funky Glognart" that Jumba and Pleakley perform near the end of the episode is just as ridiculous as their clothes and dancing.
