Reuben brings Checkers to Izayoi, and the latter experiment turns Penny into the queen of the island. However, she soon grows tired of controlling everyone and wants Checkers to get off her head, but he refuses to do so. Stitch, who is unaffected by Checkers' powers but gets turned into a living pineapple thanks to a brainwashed Jumba, seeks Reuben's help to remove Checkers from Penny's head and stop her reign, using an incredibly spicy sandwich to get him to come off Penny's head on his own.

Yuna gets a keychain from Sasha, but it begins to fall apart, so she tries to hide it from the latter. Shortly afterward, a chicken shows up with a clothespin that was blown of Officer Suzuki's clothes line, which Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley mistake for being the keychain and chase after it. Hämsterviel notices this from his lab and believes that the clothespin is a key to unlocking the Spiritual Stone, so he decides to go after it by riding a robotic Pteranodon to the island to retrieve it.
