Meanwhile, David informs Nani of a job opportunity, which she rushes off to pursue. The next morning, the Grand Councilwoman fires Jumba and Pleakley and gives the assignment to Captain Gantu, incidentally freeing them both to pursue Stitch using less covert methods. Feeling guilty over how much trouble he has caused, Stitch runs off into the night. They survive, but Bubbles witnesses this event and tells Nani that, although she means well, it means that Lilo will have to be taken away if Nani doesn't find another job.
While Nani, Lilo, and Stitch ride a huge wave, Jumba and Pleakley try to capture Stitch, causing Stitch to unintentionally pull Lilo underwater. Nani's friend David Kawena invites her, Lilo, and Stitch to enjoy a day of surfing and beach fun.
