History Recap / LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E4MrStenchy

* AnAesop: A true friend is someone who stays by your side and accepts you for who you are, not for something that you have. Also, it stinks to be jealous, but it's better to come clean with those feelings than let it fester.

Back at the Pelekai residence, Jumba says that Experiment 254 was indeed [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter made to be very cute]]. However, this is so that Jumba's enemies would be tricked into taking the experiment in, as 254 is [[StinkBomb designed to release a very horrid smell]] [[EvilSmellsBad that will clear a large area for decades]]. Lilo, naming 254 "Mr. Stenchy", wants to keep him, but Jumba says that they can't because the odor is ''that'' bad, so he needs to be flown out of Earth very soon -- 254's odor is set to release 46 hours within his activation. When Lilo says how Mr. Stenchy allowed her to be invited to Mertle's tea party, Jumba does let the little girl keep 254 for the time being, but he will be making a rocket to send the experiment away.

Lilo and Stitch have just rescued a cute pink experiment from Gantu. As Lilo and Stitch refill the X-Buggy at a gas station, Mertle and her posse pass by. Elena wonders if they should invite Lilo to their FHGH (Future Hawaiian Girls [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment of Hawaii]]) tea party. Seeing the cute experiment for themselves, they decide to do so, provided that Lilo brings the creature with her.

* YouAreGrounded: Mertle accidentally breaks a window when she throws a crumpet at Stitch, leading her to panic that she'll be grounded for a month. Brought UpToEleven when the following shenanigans lead to her breaking the entire back porch by accident. Appropriately, she wonders:

* AnAesop: A true friend is someone who stays by your side and accepts you for who you are, not for something that you have. Also, it stinks to be jealous, but never let it get in the way of being a good friend.

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: After Stitch deliberately lets Mr. Stenchy be captured, Lilo laments on how losing the experiment means that she'll be unable to bring him to a tea party held by Mertle's snobbish posse to be accepted as their friend. Nani points out that [[WithFriendsLikeThese these girls probably wouldn't make good friends anyway]]; Stitch, on the other hand, ''is'' someone Lilo can depend on. Every affirmation made of how Stitch would ''never'' do anything to hurt Lilo sends him sinking further and further into his chair. [[TheAtoner He tries to atone for it]] by dressing up as Mr. Stenchy for the girls' tea party, though [[HilarityEnsues it doesn't exactly work out.]] At bedtime, he becomes even guiltier when Lilo says how loyal of a friend he is to her and believes that Stitch tried very hard to protect Mr. Stenchy.

The big alien is beginning to do just that back at his ship, with 625 hoping that he finishes the teleportation up soon, but then he falls for the cute little experiment's charms. He decides to keep Mr. Stenchy for himself, saying that Hämsterviel can wait.

Gantu is still doting over Mr. Stenchy, much to 625's annoyance, when Stitch invades the ship. Gantu quickly captures Stitch in a containment capsule and starts preparing to send the blue alien to a desert asteroid, but Mr. Stenchy distracts him. 625 is so envious of 254 that he decides to work with Stitch to have the latter take the pink experiment back. Around the same time, Lilo wakes up from the bright light of the computer monitor and figures out that Stitch has gone to Gantu's ship to rescue Mr. Stenchy.

Just as Gantu finally starts to begin the teleportation process, he sees 625 in the teleportation tube. Stitch then attacks Gantu and tries to take Mr. Stenchy, but Gantu blasts him into a net. Thankfully, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley arrive and Jumba stops Gantu. Lilo frees Stitch from the net, but when she tries to get Mr. Stenchy to walk back to her, the experiment notices Stitch next to her and runs back to Gantu. He tells Lilo about Stitch locking Mr. Stenchy in the pantry, to which Stitch admits that it's true. Realizing about his jealousy, Lilo forgives Stitch for his actions, and he forgives her for not paying enough attention to him.

* EnemyMine: 625 doesn't like Mr. Stenchy either, so he and Stitch set up a plan to have the latter take back Mr. Stenchy from Gantu.

* GreenEyedMonster: Other experiments are immune to Mr. Stenchy's charms, so Stitch and 625 express much jealousy when their partners dote over the cute experiment.

* InnocentBlueEyes: Sweet little Mr. Stenchy has a couple big ones. Subverted in that they help him trick enemies to taking him in so he can release his awful odor.

* WeaponizedOdor: Mr. Stenchy can release a powerful odor upon unsuspecting victims who are caught off guard by his cuteness.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Mr. Stenchy's smell reminds Pleakley of his first date, and so does the Plorgonarian couple that find the experiment, too.

* AnAesop: A true friend is someone who stays by your side and accepts you for who you are, not for something that you have.

* CallBack: After capturing Stitch, Gantu prepares to send him off to a desert asteroid, just like when he tried to transport 626 (the pre-reformed Stitch) to one [[Disney/LiloAndStitch back then]], only this time Stitch would have been teleported instantaneously.

* MythologyGag: When Lilo says that she'll keep Mr. Stenchy no matter how bad his odor will produce, Stitch becomes so angry that he screams into a pillow, much like how Lilo and Nani did after their fight in [[Disney/LiloAndStitch the original film]].

Later that evening, the Pelekai ''[='=]ohana'' except for Stitch and Mr. Stenchy leave to go shopping, with Lilo telling Stitch to look after Mr. Stenchy. Once she leaves, the pink experiment tries to get along with Stitch, but the blue experiment decides to stuff him in the pantry instead. Gantu then arrives at the house to take 254 and attacks Stitch, who easily takes him down. However, Stitch then gets an idea to be rid of Mr. Stenchy, so he then lets Gantu get up and chase him to the pantry, where the big whale-like alien finds 254 and captures him. After the ''[='=]ohana'' returns to find the house in a mess, Stitch expresses that Gantu took Mr. Stenchy (leaving out the fact that he let Gantu take the experiment). However, he starts to feel guilty when Jumba mentions that Gantu is most likely sending 254 to Hämsterviel as they speak.

* [[StinkBomb Mr. Stenchy]] [[EvilSmellsBad (X-254)]]: This episode's MonsterOfTheWeek: a {{ridiculously cute|critter}} pink experiment who is designed to [[CutenessProximity lure enemies with his cuteness]] to take him in, then release a noxious odor forty-two hours after activation. The odor is so horrid that it can render a forty square mile area uninhabitable for decades.

* [[StinkBomb Mr. Stenchy]] [[EvilSmellsBad (254)]]: This episode's MonsterOfTheWeek: a {{ridiculously cute|critter}} pink experiment who is designed to [[CutenessProximity lure enemies with his cuteness]] to take him in, then release a noxious odor forty-two hours after activation. The odor is so horrid that it can render a forty square mile area uninhabitable for decades.
* [[TheImp Reuben (625)]]: Surprisingly, even he is jealous of Mr. Stenchy, making this episode the only time where Reuben expresses jealously towards anyone.

* EasilyForgiven: When Stitch is forced to admit to Lilo that he locked Mr. Stenchy in the pantry, Lilo--understanding why Stitch did so--agrees to forgive him for his actions if he forgives her for neglecting him, to which he does so.

* YourSizeMayVary: When Gantu first attacks Stitch at the Pelekai residence, he's two stories high, but then when he chases after Stitch inside the house, he can inexplicably fit inside (although he's still just too big for the front door).

!![[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments Experiments]] who appeared or were mentioned:

* BalloonBelly: Stitch inflates himself like a balloon when he sucks air from one of the buggy's tires, [[ArtisticLicensePhysics causing him to float]] until he belches.

Lilo and Stitch have just rescued a cute pink experiment from Gantu. As Lilo and Stitch refill the X-Buggy at a gas station, and Lilo finds the newly-captured experiment to be "cuter [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} than a potato bug]]", Mertle and her posse pass by. Elena wonders if they should invite Lilo to their FHGH (Future Hawaiian Girls [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment of Hawaii]]) tea party. Seeing the cute experiment for themselves, they decide to do so, provided that Lilo brings the creature with her.
